Growing up on the Eastern Shore, I’ve learned how important aquaculture and marine life are to sustaining Virginia’s economy and way of life.
I was the first woman Marine to fly in an F-18 in combat, and I got to land on aircraft carriers.
I wouldn’t really, realistically speaking, know the difference between wearing an S.S. uniform and a U.S. Marine uniform. To me it’s all a uniform.
Without hesitation, I’m voting Emmanuel Macron. Everything about the campaign of Marine Le Pen, despite its dressing of sovereignty, exudes fear and weakness.
No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.
Marine Le Pen belongs to her generation, I belong to mine. I got into politics for Marine Le Pen and with her as party leader.
I wouldn’t want to go back over my life. I’ve done it all. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss the Marine Corps. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss the war. I wouldn’t have missed college. Or playin’ for the Colts. I got all the money I need. Five children. I got a truck. I have no regrets whatsoever.
I’m a science guy. I’m a geek. I love geology and botany and marine science. I thought maybe I’d be a professional guide, or maybe even a park ranger, working for the Department of Fish and Game.
Almost every Marine I’ve met says I portray a Marine dead-on, which is really, really flattering.
I got a bad conduct discharge, was at home for a few months in late ’99, and basically said, ‘Dad, I want to give wrestling a shot. I sure as hell don’t wanna go to college, and the Marine Corps wasn’t for me. And I need to make some money, so let’s see if I can do it.’
The military and the Marine Corps prepared me to be numb to the stress.
I get letters from kids, teenagers and young girls who just want to be Mac. I’ve had quite a few people actually say that they’re going to become a Marine or a JAG lawyer because of me… the character. I think that’s pretty cool!
I like to take people you wouldn’t really think people would write novels about: an aqueduct engineer, a code-breaker, a hedge-fund manager. It’s in those sorts of lives that I find more fascination than in a CIA operative or a Marine or something like that.
I don’t give up; I go down fighting in everything I do – being a mother, being a wife, being a wrestler, being a Marine, being a sister.
In military school, on day one you must memorize the mission of the Merchant Marine Academy.
My first direct encounter with the military was when I joined ROTC as a graduate student, although my father, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps, can trace the military service in our family all the way back to the Revolutionary War.
‘Battle: Los Angeles’ – I’ve got to say this was easily one of the most physically trying things that I’ve ever done in my life because I play a Marine in the film, and they had us training with real live Marines for, like, three weeks. It gave me a whole new respect for just the armed forces, period.
Well, I have an undergraduate degree, a couple of bachelor’s degrees, from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
I’ve been hit with kendo sticks and chairs; I’ve been thrown through tables, broke my ankle, broke my nose, and have had concussions in WWE, but nothing has hurt me more than when I stubbed my toe in ‘The Marine 3: Homefront.’
As our focus turns to the oceans and the seemingly impossible task of repairing our marine habitat, we could look at Everest as a fine example of turning back the clock.
I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General.
What links Donald Trump, Viktor Orban, Andrej Babis, Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Marine Le Pen is one simple character trait: hypocrisy. These politicians aren’t tribunes of the people, they are hucksters. They aren’t bitter enemies of the Western system; they are con artists who seek to profit from it.
There’s a mindset of flexibility and adaptability that comes with us. We don’t mind hardship. We don’t mind somebody saying, ‘Go in and do this nasty job.’ Whatever the job is, we can do it. That’s why the nation has a Marine Corps.
I always equate wrestling to having been in the Marine Corps.
When I went through Marine boot camp in Paris Island, South Carolina, we actually did have bayonets that we trained with.
I grew up with a marine grandfather. I was never allowed to say ‘can’t’ or ‘no’, and I was never allowed to back down.
I’m probably more comfortable inside a Marine Corps rifle company than I am anywhere in my life.
I have been the last space marine between earth and an alien invasion. I really just don’t need to go there anymore.
I just kind of figured that the marine biology would be a career, and the art would be something I did for my own self-expression.
We have a saying in the Marine Corps and that is ‘no better friend, no worse enemy, than a U.S. Marine.’ We always hope for the first, friendship, but are certainly more than ready for the second.
People travel and hunt on the sea ice – in Alaska, they hunt in skin boats for bowhead whales; in Greenland, they hunt with dogsleds. The ice is their highway. The ice is also the ecosystem in which marine mammals and terrestrial animals such as polar bears exist.
As a Marine officer in combat, I was responsible for the lives and safety of all the Marines who served with me.
I am an ocean lover and fish watcher and had studied marine biology and even taught marine sciences before I got into animation.
There are two projects facing each other. There’s Marine Le Pen’s project of a fractured, closed France. On the other hand, you have my project which is a republican, patriotic project aiming at… reconciling France.
I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school. And even now, I’m still like, ‘Maybe I’ll just quit the biz and go to Santa Cruz and study marine biology and have my own research center in the Bahamas.’ Yeah, I’m sure it would be just that smooth.
Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a marine biologist. As you go through the grind and the distraction of a career, it’s easy to lose sight of your dreams.
The Marine Corps has been, and will continue to be, America’s Expeditionary Force in Readiness – ready to respond to today’s crisis, with today’s Marine forces, today.
If I could have been a marine biologist I would have, but I didn’t have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point.
When you get out of the Marine Corps, you feel like you can do anything.
I would storm the gates of Hell if Third Marine Air Wing was overhead.
You have to be forward-moving and able to balance a lot of things at the same time. I attribute a lot of that to the Marine Corps and Juilliard both.
Think about a guy like Bob Mitchum, with his kind of chest gut not defining itself one way or the other. Was there anybody tougher? Lee Marvin was a marine sniper during the Second World War. They had this sense of themselves, and they had this product of being a man in a masculine way.
I studied natural resources planning and thought I could get a job at some marine park. But I was great at art and so-so at marine biology. It’s funny how the two eventually came together.
White sharks and tuna travel for thousands of miles before returning to the same hot spot just as salmon do when they return to the same stream. These journeys are the marine equivalent of wildebeest migrations that take place on the Serengeti plain in Africa.
During my elementary and middle school years, my mother made me and my siblings’ lunches every single day – this was affordable for a Marine climbing the ranks and supporting a family of six.
I cannot conjure up an ounce of respect for Bill Clinton when it comes to the military. Every time I see him salute a Marine, it infuriates me. I don’t think Bill Clinton cares one iota about what happens in a military unit.
I was an infantry Marine, and there are only so many things you can do when you get out of the military that you can apply your job to. Either a janitor or a cop. I tried to do both of those things because what else are you going to do?
After my time in the Marine Corps with ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ I didn’t want to hide any more.
I personally was involved in going over to Afghanistan to meet the troops. My father was a marine, so that was just amazing.
I just was mesmerized by all of this life everywhere I looked. And so I wanted to be a marine biologist.
I follow the teachings of Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, United States Marine Corps. He won two Congressional Medals of Honor, and he wrote the highly controversial antiwar book ‘War is a Racket.’
Yeah, I shoot. I shot with my dad a little bit when I was little. He was a Marine, so it wasn’t like he would take me to the ballet. We would go to a shooting range. It was the only thing he knew to teach his little girl how to do.
I was the first Navy, Marine or Air Force person who had been an astronaut to return back to the Air Force. I had certain expectations about what would be a reasonable and desirable position to be assigned to after my years of service.
