U.S. Marine Becomes First Blind Double Amputee to Re-Enlist

He has no legs and no eyesight, but Marine Cpl. Matthew Bradford has four more years of military service ahead of him after becoming the first blind double-amputee to re-enlist

He has no legs and no eyesight, but Marine Cpl. Matthew Bradford has four more years of military service ahead of him after becoming the first blind double-amputee to re-enlist.

The rifleman was injured in January 2007 in Iraq when a roadside bomb exploded right under him, the San Antonio Express-News reported.

But after years at the Center for the Intrepid, a privately funded, cutting-edge rehabilitation center, Bradford, 23, has learned to walk with prosthetic limbs and navigate without his vision, and he only regrets that he can’t return to combat duty in Iraq, the paper reported.

Instead the Kentucky native will head to Camp Lejeune, N.C., where he will work with other wounded Marines in hopes of helping them cope with anger, depression and other issues.

"I'm paving the road for the rest of them who want to stay in but think they can't," he told the Express-News. "I'm ready to get back to work."

The ultimate attention whore!

Just kidding. That is pretty cool of him for doing what he's doing. He's the perfect person to be sitting around collecting a government check, but instead he goes out and keeps working anyway. There are quite a few "drains" on the government that could learn a thing or two from hi.

+101 to the soldier! Later, QD.

He is a Marine, not a soldier. Marines take that distinction very seriously.

Ahhh, well. Granny Smith and Red Delicious are two different types of apples, but they are still apples, lolol. I'm not versed in military lingo so I don't know that stuff. Later, QD.

Not trying to be mean or anything, but he really doesnt have anything else in him. I'm surprised that they even gave that job.

[Mantooth]

That's pretty cool.

I'm actually going to be at Camp Lejeune on Monday.
