MIAMI, FL – The Marine Corps' top leadership has called for a Corps-wide safety stand-down after a Marine home on leave from boot camp died after drowning in pussy at a local basketball game, sources confirmed.
Pfc. Anthony Baker, 19, had just returned home to Miami on Sunday from the Parris Island recruit depot following his graduation with Platoon 1069 of 1st Recruit Training Battalion.
“We were so proud of him,” his mother April said between tears. "I just don’t understand how something like this could happen.”
Once Baker came home, he changed into his Marine Corps-issued dress blue uniform and went with a group of friends to a local basketball game.
