🔥 STATEWIDE DOMINANCE 🔥

This past weekend, the future of the Corps showed up and showed OUT at the RS Richmond Statewide Pool Function 💪

Poolees from across the state came together to push limits, build discipline, and sharpen that warrior mindset, and each RSS came to compete!

From intense PT to team building evolutions, it wasn't just about who finished first, it was about who refused to quit. That's the standard. That's the expectation. That is what it means to earn the title.

Think you have what it takes to stand in our ranks?

🔥 Huge thank you to Thomas Dale High School for welcoming us in and allowing the Marines to run the USMC Fitness Challenge on campus today.
We had an incredible turnout — lots of students, some hesitant at first, but once the competition kicked in, everyone found that extra gear. By the end, the whole group was pushing hard and giving real effort 💪 and that’s exactly what this challenge is all about.
Great job to all the students who stepped up, and many thanks to the teachers and staff for bringing us in and making the day a success. An all around outstanding event.
