^^ He guides his platoon, carries the guidon. In Marcus' case, Platoon 1050. Each platoon has his "first". It means he did extremely well during training, proven himself every step of the way and stepped up as the leader of his platoon. Being recognized as an Honor Man[chosen by his fellow recruits and instructors] is something very special. Even after being chosen as the guide during training you can get easily fired if you fail to successfully guide your platoon or waiver as a recruit. The later it is in the training the more demanding it is and the more difficult is it to hold onto your position. So huge kudos to Marcus! Very big thing! He can be very proud of himself!

Congrats to Marcus on doing so well. Love the pics, especially of the two of them. I completely agree with Lacy.

[GuardianAngel]

Congratulations Marcus and Lacy!!! So happy Marcus that he followed his dream, Lacy has every reason to be proud.

And dang.... he looks great in uniform!

[GuardianAngel]

This is one of those examples where being involved with this franchise, was the best decision ever.

Lacy looks stunning in that dress. It's very flattering on her. All of his hard work has paid off, and will make their lives comfortable for years to come.

Yes Max, he is soooooo good looking IMO!

[bleuberry]

He looks even better if that was even possible. So happy for them.

[Kashathediva]

A very handsome couple! (that isn't even a sentence)

I thought Marcus joined the Coast Guard, not the Marines. Did we ever talk about Coast Guard with him?

He is doing his initial military training(so, recruit training and ITB) with the Marines (out of CA) but is under contract with the Coast Guard. He will depart for his 6week ITB training at Camp Pendleton next Sunday. Plan was for him to 'officially' enlist as a trained officer in the CG after that. (I say 'was', because I don't know whether anything has changed due to him doing so incredibly well at boot camp. We will see, I guess. )

Very happy for them. Nice to see two people who did this show ... twice ... still living a normal life with their priorities in order. They both had goals and were willing to work hard to achieve them.
