What does it mean to be a Gunrock? (pt. 1 of ?)
For those that might give a shit, I've decided chronicle some of my experiences as a Cannoneer in the USMC. I'll be breaking it down over a few days to keep it short, since I'll be using my photos to tell the story.
So, what does it mean to be a Marine Gunrock?
It means hard work.

It means teamwork.

Being a Gunrock means that when there is work to be done, it's done fast. Whether that's using a rifle or jumping out of a truck from eight feet in the air and unhooking an eight-ton gun.

And that work has to get done, no matter the weather.

Yeah but I want to see a REAL howitzer. Those things are puny. it's just a wimpy 155mm pistol, pu-lease.
^Haha. How's this for puny?
DAAAUHM SON! BOOM!
Did you guys ever learn how to dance and sing in perfect unison?
We've been known to do the Can-can on occasion. Maybe break out in Bohemian Rhapsody.

i guess as well as hard work and jumping out of trucks in all weather, you also have to remember to stop and take a photo of how badass you look so you can put it on the intarwebs!!!
