Already having two older brothers in the Marine Corps, Staff Sgt. Latifah Blanks had a legacy to live up to when she joined the Corps in 2011. The St. Louis native, currently serving as base adjutant chief, Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, went to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina at the age of 20. It was an opportunity to see the world and gain some discipline, not her siblings, compelling her to become a Marine. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Jennifer Parks).
