LCpl. Michael Deyarmin stands at attention with the Washington County Young Marines at The Washington County National Guard Armory. “The young marines program is for kids who are interested in the military and just I guess want to go into the military, some kids just come for a little bit of discipline. The Marine Corps League thought about it in 1958, the first unit was in Waterbury, Conn. We learn about drugs and why we shouldn’t do them, we learn about physical fitness and learn how to survive in the wilderness if we ever get lost, things like that. ” he says.
