About the United States Marine Corps

You don’t join the Marines. You become one.

Ours is a noble and demanding path reserved for those with the will to commit and the determination to overcome all mental, moral and physical demands to become Marines. In uniform or not, it is the fighting spirit that is found inside every Marine that leads them to victory.

These impending battles come in many forms and are fought on many fronts, but each comes down to a critical choice: demand victory or accept defeat. Recover or collapse. Give in or give in. It is a decision that every Marine passes on to our Nation with every battle won.

The Marine Corps mission reflects the purpose of each Marine. Essentially, our Nation is that goal. In our world, within ourselves, and in our own way, there are conflicts, challenges, and obstacles that must be faced with confidence and conquered convincingly for our Nation to prevail.
