Marines - branch of service, which can be considered one of the most elite and minorities. For example, in the U.S. (the world#39;s largest Marine Corps), only the Coast Guard is smaller in the number of personnel of all military units. It is noteworthy that just over 6% of the contingent of U.S. Marines are soldiers are women. These iron ladies are able to withstand the most severe physical and emotional stress as well as men, and in some aspects even exceed them. Below is a photo essay from the base of the U.S. Marine Corps#39; Camp Lejeune in the state of North Carolina.
