Honor - Courage - Commitment

“Civilians cannot and will not understand us because they are not one of us.
The Corps – we love it. If you have never been in it, you shall never understand it.”

 

Remember our POW/MIA's, we want them all accounted for - let us never forget them!

Commandant of the Marine Corps - General James F. Amos

Marines, listen up! The Commandant of the Marine Corps has spoken!

No more "former" Marines!

This is very important information to all of us.
A quote from the Commandant, General James F. Amos:

"A Marine is a Marine.
I set that policy two weeks ago - there's no such thing as a former Marine.
You're a Marine, just in a different uniform and you're in a different phase of your life.

But you'll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico.
There's no such thing as a former Marine."
