Congratulations to YM/SgtMaj Tristan Begines on his incredible accomplishment as Division 5 Young Marine of the Year! At just 17 years old, his journey has been one of perseverance, growth, and leadership. Once uncertain about his place in the program, he has since redefined expectations, proving that determination and dedication can break barriers. His inspiring story, recently featured in The Columbian, highlights his commitment to excellence and his efforts to challenge the narrative of autism. We are incredibly proud of his achievements—well done, YM/SgtMaj Begines!
