The quatrefoil that dons the top of the Marine officer barracks cover is displayed on top of the helmet. The eagle represents the proud nation Marines defend. It stands at the ready with our nation's coastlines in sight and the entire world within reach of its outstretched wings. The globe represents the Corps' worldwide presence, impact and reputation as a fighting force that wins on behalf of our Nation's people and progress. The anchor points both to the Marine Corps naval heritage and its ability to access any battleground across any coastline in the world.
Officially, the quatrefoil first became an authorized part of the uniform in The quatrefoil was the fashionable military style of the era. Popular belief tells us the quatrefoil was worn on the caps of Marines fighting on the decks of ships to be easily recognized by the Marine sharpshooters located above in the ship's rigging.
Those considering the Marine Corps must attend Leatherneck training the summer of their senior year. Leatherneck is a four-week training evolution in Quantico, Va. In which Midshipmen are evaluated on leadership, physical training and military skills. After graduation, all Marine Corps officers attend The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia to become more proficient in the professional knowledge and skills necessary to be effective in leading Marines. Approximately 25 percent of Naval Academy graduates each year will commission into the Marine Corps through a competitive selection process, while close to 50 percent of the football players choose the Marine Corps as a service assignment.
It dropped its first game to Marshall The Midshipmen were able to rush for yards but couldn't translate that into any points, and the defense struggled to stop the Thundering Herd.
No matter the records of these teams when they play, fans know they are going to get a game with a lot of rushing attempts and fast-ticking clock. Both teams know exactly what they are trying to do and run the triple option well. If you love hard-nosed football, then this is the game for you. James Harris II was a bright spot, running for 80 yards on 11 carries, while Arline added 76 yards and a TD on 16 carries. Their receivers are as productive as they have been for some time. On the defensive side of things, though, the Midshipmen gave up yards through the air and seven total touchdowns against Marshall.
To remember those that died on that tragic day and all the things that transpired after that. The conflicts that occurred from that event and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice after that. So in predicting a close, low-scoring game I have to back the home underdog that hasn't lost in Annapolis in a decade. Which college football picks can you make with confidence in Week 2, and which favorites will go down hard?
