Michael Joseph Mullins Jr. aka Mike was born in Annapolis, MD and attended AACO public school. Graduated in 1987. Mike worked as an electrician until deciding to enter the military. Mike entered the Marine Corps December 12th 199 Read Obituary
I had the honor to serve alongside at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego with then, GySgt Michael J. Mullins who had returned for a second tour where he served as a Senior Drill Instructor, Chief Drill Instructor, and Regimental Drillmaster
Mike poured his knowledge, experience, and passion into every Marine he worked with. His mentorship, especially to his fellow Drill Instructors, left a lasting mark on all of us.
Michael was more than just a consummate professional — he was a joy to be around. Always full of laughter, always bringing energy to the room… and never turning down a plate of carne asada fries or a carne asada burrito.
I have shared this sad news with our fellow Marines, and I know his absence will be felt deeply for years to come.
Rest in peace, brother. We’ve got the watch!
I first met Mike and his Wonderful Mom when he was 3 years old and we lived next to each other in Allen’s Apartments. Mike was my baby son’s first friend. His Grandmother, Momma Rose would babysit my son from time to time. Although life took our families in different directions, I have never forgotten that happy little mischievous boy and his Wonderful Mother who happens to be one of my most cherished friends. Rest in Heaven Mike! I’m so proud that GOD allowed me to know you. My Love and prayers to your Family and Friends. May GOD continue to comfort you all.
When me and Mike got stung by all those hornets while picking blackberries up Middletown.
