First Platoon may not be the best at drill or the sharpest looking, but there is no other, friend or foe, that could defeat us in spirit or fight! Blood, sweat and tears have woven our platoon together with a bond stronger than steel. Eternity shall not break the ties of this BROTHERHOOD OF GRUNTS.
