Meritorious Mast Dated August 31, 1984
This is the Marine of the Month award. Each unit in the company
appoints one man per month to represent the unit. This man goes
through a vigorous screening board of high ranking officers and
enlisted personnel. You are tested on knowledge, tactics,
leadership skills, appearance and much more. I received this at
Marine Barracks at Eighth & I, Washington, DC. |
