U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Michele Clarke, a native of Queens, New York and combat videographer with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) (MEU(SOC)), poses for a photo aboard the Wasp class amphibious assault ship USS Bataan, Feb. 10, 2024.
“I have been in the Marine Corps for almost 4 years, and like I tell everyone, it is one of, if not the best decision I have made for my career and personal development in my life. I have met so many great people and come across so many great opportunities in my first contract already.”
“In my short time in, I have been able to document so many cool things, visit countries I’ve never been to before, and grow both physically and mentally. Within the Marine Corps, there are endless possibilities. Whether you want to continue your career within the Marine Corps or work toward a career as a civilian, the amount of schooling, programs, mentoring, and benefits that are provided can set you up for success no matter who you are or where you come from.”
“It has also been motivating to see other African American Marines like myself in higher positions in the Marine Corps influencing so many other Marines around them, being amazing mentors and showing others that you can make it to where they are as well.”
The 26th MEU(SOC), embarked with the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group (BAT ARG), are currently on a scheduled deployment in the Mediterranean Sea. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Nayelly Nieves-Nieves)
