Having Nothing to Lose is the New Wealth.

Marines with the 15th MEU assisting with the search of the 7 Marines and 1 sailor lost in a AAV accident off the coast of California.

Happy 0316 Day to all my Coxswains out there!

Happy #0311 Day gents!

Too bad the boys can’t be together this time around. Picture of my boat team and I prepping to do some boat shit. #Raiders #BestJobIEverHad

PHIBLEX 2016

Some more snaps I got throughout being in the Philippines.

PHIBLEX 2016

Some pictures I got to snap during so bilateral training with the Philippine Marines.

Getting to see their boot camp training there, you guys would be surprised how similar their boot camp is to ours. The females even have to shave their heads. 

Pretty awesome dudes, plus the locals we great.

Got to do some Inter-Operational training with the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force.

Got a little more sun then I wanted.

Raider Nation.

Hands down, still my fav. photo I’ve ever gotten in my career. Just wish everything wasn’t so bumpy when I took it...

A little go-pro footage from the past month of my guys and me doing some surf-passages out in beautiful Coronado Island.

Best part is at 3:00.

This week was probably one of the more shitty training evolution we’ve done so far.

Definitely a memorable time.

Launch & Recovery off the USS Greenbay

Here is from the point of view as me (the coxswain) in-charge of my boat team while we conduct so launch and recovery drills off the stern of the USS Greenbay.

We missed the fucking Super Bowl for this. Good thing I enjoy driving this baby in calm waters like this.

Final photo set of us teaching the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force on the subject of boat raids.

Last photo is of our CO’s doing a gift exchange after we finished the training.

Last set of photos on my company on deployment.

U.S. Marines with Company F, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), conduct an amphibious assault with soldiers of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) as part of the Japanese Observer Exchange Program at Kin Blue, Okinawa, Japan, April 28, 2015. The JGSDF was integrated with the 31st MEU in order to better understand amphibious operations.

Here’s what it looks like when you’re in a boat company.

(I got to name my boat Fu Manchu)

Our last raid.

Day 1-2: SOTG

A lot of hurry up an waiting. Plus we got fucked by the surf so we ended up patrolling to our objective at night.

Finally found some time (and internet connection) to upload some video footage I got.
