Chuck Norris didn't join the Marine Corps...the Marine Corps applied to him.
Heaven’s streets have always been guarded by Marines. Today, Chuck Norris reported for duty.
We mourn the passing of Chuck Norris, a @usairforce veteran, who also became an honorary Marine in 2007 when awarded the title by then Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Conway.
Chuck Norris is one of just over 100 individuals to be awarded the title of Honorary Marine in the entire 250-year history of the Corps.
Some missions may require a battalion, but this one just requires an Honorary Marine.

Chuck was an icon.
I am grateful that I was able to work with him in multiple ways over the years, from promoting fitness to sharing the screen together. He was a badass, in real life and in Hollywood.
His legend will be with us forever. My thoughts are with his family.
“So there was work that had been done in the 90s surrounding what are called combustion gas guns, which is if you combust hydrogen and oxygen instead of gunpowder, basically the speed of sound in the gases is faster. And so you can launch projectiles a lot faster, like you and I could go and engineer a bullet with gunpowder and we could put as much gunpowder as we wanted, that bullet’s never really going to go above like 4,000–5,000 feet per second because of the speed of sound in the gas. And so if you take oxygen and hydrogen combustion, you can reach like 30,000 feet per second theoretically, so really, really big performance increases. And so I was pretty obsessed with that in high school and was working on different guns doing this, and I was building a rifle, a .50 caliber rifle.”
