WALK IT OUT. - You may not always have the luxury of motorized assets as your primary mode of transportation.

They are all working to earn the title of Marine Corps Officer and for the right to lead Marines. Do you have what it takes to lead America's finest?

The United States Marine Corps is looking for men and women of exemplary character to lead this nation's Marines. Do you have what it takes to lead from the front? - Today these Marine officer candidates begin their journey to Officer Candidate School for OCC 239. They have trained, prepared, and awaited patiently for this day to arrive. It all starts now! They will be tested physically, mentally, and in their leadership abilities.

Today is the 80th year of remembrance of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. . At 7:48 a.m., 353 planes of the Imperial Japanese Navy - launched in two waves from six aircraft carriers - attacked the US Navy Pacific Fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor. Also targeted during the attack was the US Army Air Corps aircraft stationed at Wheeler, Bellows and Hickam, US Navy aircraft stationed at Barbers Point, Ford Island and Kaneohe Bay and US Marine Corps aircraft stationed at Ewa. Of the eight battleships in port, all where damaged with four sunk - although six were returned to service during the war. 188 US aircraft were destroyed - mainly on the ground. 2,403 soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and civilians were killed in the raid with another 1,178 others wounded. Japanese losses were considerably lighter with only 29 aircraft lost, five submarines sunk, 64 crew dead and one sailor captured. Within seven hours of the attack in Hawaii, Japanese forces also attacked US-held Philippines, Guam and Wake Island and the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong. . While war had been raging for over two years in Europe, those that survived December 7th, 1941 saw the conflict become a true World War. It will always be "a date which will live in infamy." . #LegacyDriven #lestweforget #stayvigilant #honorthem #80yrs #Marine #Army #Navy #Airforce #brotherhood #military #honor #courage #pearlharbor #learnmore #domore #bemore #giantsofmen #thegreatestgeneration #ww2history #neverforget #holdfast
