I am a United States Marine

[ssgtt32]

I am a United States Marine! My Tenets are DUTY, HONOR, and COMMITMENT in service to GOD,COUNTRY, and CORPS! No matter the cost; no sacrifice; even to the last, full measure; I will do my duty! I will honor the traditions of those Marines who have gone before me; as they have passed to me so I will pass to those who follow the sword of freedom, the banner of COURAGE, the unblemished honor of the Corps; for service without honor is not service! I will serve with HONOR I will remain faithful at all times; to my CORPS. my DIVISION, to my REGIMENT, my COMPANY, my PLATOON, my SQUAD, to my FIRE-TEAM and these tenets! I will be commited, I AM A MARINE! I am not an ex or a former Marine; I am or am not. There is no middle ground!

I AM A UNITED STATES MARINE!

I had a Korean War Marine Vet ask if I was an ex-Marine after I commented on his hat. I did not correct him out of respect, but I sure wanted to say I did not quit being a Marine even though I left active service in 1978!

SSgtt32, Many time you will find that you will not get a reply, it depends who
is on at the time of your post. Keep posting, that was good stuff.

Right back to basics----
Course without basics we couldn't progress.
Hats off to those who instill these basics even as we are on this site
