*real life training*

The over 40,000 Marines based at Pendleton in San Diego not only are of the highest training but have served 3 to 5 or more tours in Iraq and Afgh already,

They were the first Marines to go into Bagdad and have
been in the most major battles.

A Relative of mine at Pendleton who has served three tours leaving in weeks for Afgh.
