"After high school, I wasn’t doing much with my life when my dad suggested I join the military. One of his best friends was a parachute rigger for the Army. I was really close and looked up to him, so I decided to be a rigger in the Marine Corps. While being in, I learned there's a difference between having fun and getting down and working. The Marine Corps has defined my work ethic. It's made me a stronger person, and I wouldn't be the man I am today without it." Marine Corps Lance Cpl. John LaFleur is a parachute rigger with 3rd Landing Support Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment
