you said "soldier" in the description. Marines are not soldiers, they are Marines. He is a Marine. Nice work. Semper Fi.

Really? A Marine is not a soldier?

yes, Marines have earned the title "MARINE" through 13 weeks of the hardest bootcamp training known to man, and are insulted by being called "soldiers", they take pride in the title.

"13 weeks of the hardest bootcamp training known to man"

Clearly you need to get out more. FFR training last 15 weeks, not that it matters how long it lasts, with a further 4 months training once you make it through to the 2eREP.
A soldier, soldiers. A Marine...erm....marines?
I take ur point though. They probably would be insulted.

bootcamp training is different than additional MOS training and so forth, but im glad you see my point. and yes they would.

Cool. I really like the gritty kind of style it has. Everything looks solid.

Thank you. it was drawn on watercolour paper, so the grittiness comes from effect of the scanner.
So unfortunately, i can't take the credit for that
