To be "first to flight" is also to be "first to eat." U.S. Marines pride themselves on the fact that they rarely miss a meal no matter what the nature of their service. To be able to cook his own meals is part of the Marine's education in self reliance. This Photo Furnished by U.S. MARINE CORPS RECRUITING STATION 122 N. SEVENTH STREET, ST. LOUIS, MO.
