U.S Marine Corps Cpl. Grace J. Kindred, a Combat Photographer with Communication Strategy and Operations, Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego and the Western Recruiting Region poses near the 60-foot rappel tower aboard MCRD San Diego, May 24, 2023. Corporal Kindred arrived at MCRD San Diego on Feb. 22, 2019, as a Combat Photographer, 4531 Military Occupation Specialties. Corporal Kindred has spent the past four years capturing the transformation of Marine Recruits into U.S. Marines. Her photographs of Recruits/Marines have been used throughout the nation and have influenced future Marines and the Marine Corps story. A truly exciting time as Corporal Kindred completes her honorable service at the end of June and leaves the Marine Corps to start her new adventures in her home state of Hondo, Texas. Armed with Marine Corps ethos she will be able to call on the strengths she has gained while serving our Nation to continue serving others.

"I'm incredibly fortunate that God has blessed me with the opportunity to work with such great men and women on the depot. I'm grateful for my time in the Marine Corps and everything serving has afforded me, said Kindred." (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Jesse Lora)
