Meet our newest Mascot Manny, an 8-month old purebred English bulldog. Named after Sgt. Johnny R. Manuelito, a Navajo Code Talker who served as a U.S. Marine during World War II. Sgt. Manuelito legacy will be carried on through Manny, Marine Corp Recruit Depot San Diego newest “DEVIL DOG”.
The term Devil Dog or “Teufel Hunden” has been used to describe Marines since World War I because of the ferocious way they fought in battle. German soldiers compared the Marines to the wild and ferocious mountain dogs of Bavarian folklore.
