Marine Corps Recruiting Springfield, VA

Home for the holidays 🎄

U.S. Marine Corps Private First Class Jonathan Ardon, a West Potomac High School 2025 graduate, returned to his former Army JROTC class to speak to students about his transformation from cadet to Marine.

A pleasure to have him back for a little while on Recruiter’s Assistance as he awaits Marine Combat Training.

Swipe to see his transformation alongside his recruiter, SSgt. Nolasco!
