Quantico Young Marines

The Young Marines is a youth education and service program for boys and girls, ages 8 through completion of high school. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral, and physical development of its members. The program focuses on character building, leadership, and promotes a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

In July 1993, the United States Marine Corps officially designated the Young Marines program as "the focal organization for fulfilling its participation in the Department of Defense's drug demand reduction activities."

Young Marine units are community-based programs run by dedicated adult volunteers in over 300 communities across the United States and overseas. Young Marine units are similar in nature to community-based programs such as Boy/Girl Scout councils or Camp Fire chapters. Quantico Young Marines is one of the units supporting Young Marines in the region near Quantico, Virginia.

3. I saw an ad for this group placed in our local free paper.
They are recruiting kids in the schools as well, with the ads for the military that they show on Channel One cable "news" that many school systems show to students at the beginning of the school day. Our district shows this daily from K-12 and the "news" averages 2 to 3 ads for the military every day.

5. Yes. * and his heavy hand and need to occupy the Middle east is causing this growth
Like swatting at a bees nest. Every time you kill a terrorist, or insurgent, or extremest, OR INNOCENT IRAQI you make a number of enemies (their families etc...). We need to get the fuck outa there. And impeach the bastard !
