Sgt Grit is a place where Marines can come and meet other Marines, share tattoos and stories, keep up with Marine Corps news, or shop for USMC gear.

Use your eyeballs, Marines. Middle row, 3rd from left. Besides the folded arms, check the cover insignia. The only one different from the Squids.
top row 4th from left
After studying the picture I picked two people middle row 3rd from left and back row 4th from lest. but with further studying the two people I decided that the one in the 2nd row with his armed folded had the look of an old salty dog MARINE, that did have an attitude that said what the hell am I standing with all these swab jockey, I would rather be in the jungle or drinking beer. The man in the 4th row looks like a young ensign who is scared S&*&*& less and is wondering what in the hell he was doing in this ;picture!!!!
top row 4th from left.
After looking at this pic for a short time, and before reading everyone’s posts, I decided on the guy in the second row, third from the left. He is the only one who seems disgusted with the whole affair. There were a couple of others I thought of, but Capt. George C. Reid stood out.
top row fourth from left
From left to right, The Third man of the second row seems to have a very distinct attitude and has distinguished his self from the rest. In my opinion he bears a striking resemblance to my neighbors English Bull Dog.
Second row third from the left he’s got the attitude
They all look like they have an attitude.
Second row, third from left. No question about it.
Second from the right second row. Looks like he disgusted with the whole thing
Top row fourth from the left. He’s the only one who’s awake and paying attention. Snooze time for the rest.
Second row third from left. Cover cocked to the side, arms folded, thousand yard stare, looks like he really don’t give a crap!
How about the cameraman? They all have Navy uniforms except the guy with the top hat. No Marine would want to dress like a navy guy. Not even an officer. Just a thought.
2nd row, 3rd from left. He has an EGA On his cover & His Dress Blues are double breasted, not single as the others.
2 row 3 one from the left with his arms crossed? Semper Fi , that would be me lol.

Top row, 4th from the left.
Second row third from left. Appears to be the only one with a Marine attitude. Looks like one tough SOB
Marines of the late 1800s to early 1900s period often displayed ‘Attitude’ by means of crossed arms and a dour expression, as if to say “This is a bulls–t waste of time” , or ‘Don’t even think about messing with me.”
Top row , 4th from left………Ooorah
Middle row 3rd from left. Look at the uniform gentlemen.
