These Marines were the Pride of I 3/2. All three were on the championship baseball team, were squad leaders of 1st platoon I-3/2 when it won the annual drill competition, and were fire team leaders of the Top Rifle Squad in the entire Marine Corps. Truly a triple threat to any opposition.
Each received a promotion to Sgt E-5, a few days after this picture was taken for their leadership roles as fire team leaders on the Marine Corps' top rifle squad.
