U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Jake Brandimarte, a Seaford, New York, native and squad leader with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division, poses for a photo during Marine Corps Combat Readiness Evaluation on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Sept. 28, 2022. “I was actually going to join the Navy because that’s all I was ever exposed to and then one of my high school football coaches was a Marine Corps infantryman and he was actually with 1st Battalion, 6th Marines.” said Brandimarte. “He persuaded me and told me if I was going to join the military then you might as well go hard and join the Marine Corps infantry. So now here I am and I’m happy with my decision.” The purpose of a MCCRE is to formally evaluate the unit’s combat readiness in preparation for deployment. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
