Chesty XIII

Chesty XIII has been known to attend our functions from time to time. He is a pure bred English bulldog of outstanding lineage. He will be the next mascot of Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C., and will enlist in the Marine Corps in April 2008. Chesty is "hosted" by our current Commandant, Master Sergeant Charles Casey and his family. Chesty was born on June 3, 2007, and is currently undergoing intense puppy boot camp. He will begin marching the Evening Parades at Marine Barracks some time in July of 2008. He made his marching debut at the last Evening Parade of 2007 as "a recruit in the delayed entry program." Although many believe the mascot of Marine Barracks is the Marine Corps' mascot, he is not officially listed as such.

Why the name "Chesty?" If you don't know that, then you obviously aren't a Marine. Learn about the original Chesty at Chesty Puller - Wikipedia.
