It's an advert for recruiting U.S. Marines.
This advert shows self-actualisation. This advert is showing that the U.S. Marines only wants people who are able to live up to their highest potential and pushing others to do the same.  This advert fits the self-actualization category because it is expressing people to be the best they can be and then they will feel self-fulfilment.
