Body Bearers are solid Marines who do a tough & demanding job. They lift weights all day and always maintain the Marine Corps Esprit de Corps! Love them! I use to wanna be one. But that’s really tough duty. I rank Marine Body Bearers up there with Force Recon. Each Body Bearer earned their Blood Stripes. Semper Fi bros!
