I got goose bumps and all choked up over this. Semper Fi Brothers!

From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze from dawn to setting sun.
We have fought in every clime and place, where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far off northern lands and in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job,The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps which we are proud to serve.
In many a strife we've fought for life and never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes,
they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.



THIS IS MY RIFLE


There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life.


My rifle, without me is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than any enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will....


My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...


My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...


Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.


So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but Peace........................


ARTICLE I:
I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

ARTICLE II:
I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.

ARTICLE III:
If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

ARTICLE IV:
If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information nor take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them in every way.

ARTICLE V:
When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country or its allies or harmful to their cause.

ARTICLE VI:
I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

Dear Heavenly Father,



Now the evening shadows gather, the lonely night is here.
This day which has been so empty is almost gone.
Oh Dear God, be with my husband who is so far from home.
Help him when the thoughts of his loved ones bring the awful heartache on.
Lord, let him know that with Your ever-lasting love, You are right beside him
With Your loving mercy from above.
Help him with his heartache, with the closeness of a friend, a smile of understanding.
It will lift the burden from his heart.
Let him also be a blessing to one who needs him.
Let him feel the prayers of his loved ones whose thoughts are always with him.
And, Dear God, when the tide has turned against him,
His whole world seems upside down,
Let him see things more clearly.
Show him how to love Thee more dearly.
Let his faith in Thee stay unbroken.
Inspire him with new courage every day so that he will soon be with us.
Make him strong to run the race.


Amen

If those of you who are not nor were Marines cannot understand any of this then you cannot understand what it is to truly believe in freedom and to cherish it and to be willing to die for it so that your family and friends can live on in peace.

The last writing is the Marines wife prayer. There is no harder job in this world than to be the wife of a Marine. I would not expect any women who was not the wife of a Marine to understand this. But as sure as I am here, they are more loyal and a lot stronger than any Marine past, present or future.

Funny thing..
I was never in the military, but as a Navy brat, I can speak of moving every 2 years, seeing my Mom deal with a lot of issues by herself, having my best friends Dad take me fishing because I had never been. I could go on and On...

If I could, I wouldn't change a thing

My Dad was career Navy, 28 years, 3 wars retired a CPO.
He was mainly a Corpsman and was once detached to a group of Marines in the Pacific as a Field Medic.
He told me after his first tour with them, he ditched his service 45 and got a small baretta auto.
It was easier to get to when diving from man to man in the dirt when he had to defend himself.

I hear people brag that they saw a lot of wild shit in either WW2, Korea or VNam.
During his 3 tours with the Marines he saw the BEFORE(walking patrol), the DURING(assaults)
and the AFTERmath(keeping as many alive as possible).

My Mom had all of his metals including one for Valor, framed with his rating badges for me a few years back. My 9 yr old daughter
still comments on it all of the time and I hear her tell her friends "My Grandfather was the best soldier ever"...sniff sniff...

 

[ryker77]

Kinda off topic. But is MAC flights a good ideal? I am on the east coast and don't have easy access to MX.

 

[chesty]

Yes, they are if you don't get stranded.

I absolutely respect a Navy Corpsman. To me there is no other Marine who deserves more respect. I salute any and all Navy Corpsman past, present and future. Without them we could not do our job. They bring us home to our family's always risking their life for ours and never questioning the reason why.

Thank you.

 

[bignate73]

bump for the corpsman.

mmmmmm, devil dogs! yummy chocolate cakes, delicious creamy filling!

 

[bignate73]

One of the most notorious US military actions which resulted in civilian causalities was Reagan’s 1986 attack on Qaddafi’s headquarters. The bombing left the Libyan leader’s daughter dead. A thought experiment: Imagine how much of Tripoli would be left standing tomorrow if today Libyan bombs rained down on Austin, Texas leaving the First Daughter and her dorm-mates buried in a pile of rubble.

hopefully very little.

and dont talk bad bout the first daughter....i like her boobies.

[chesty]

You know what dedicated to recless or whatever the fuck your name is. I don't mind what you say anywhere else on any other thread, but do not come here to this thread abou US MARINES and start in with your shit.

You are now at the top of my list of the most vile and disgusting pukes that ever walked this planet. If I ever see you in person, I will personally rip out your eyes and skull fuck you while you. You ignorant bitch whore.

You want to talk about how violent the US is, you just pissed me off and that is by far worse than anything else you can imagine.

From a Canuck who has always admired the strength and determination of the Marines.

My hats off to you!

Top 15 things Never to say to a Drill Instructor

15. My recruiter wanted me to tell you to be especially nice to me.

14. I want my mommy.

a mixture of these 2. i was in boot camp...my mom sends a box full of reeses peanut butter cup for me to "share" with the platoon and a note to my drill instructors. "dear drill sergeants,...." something to the effect of "be nice to them, a little break for kindness is always welcomed" or something. oh holy crap, i had to eat soooo many reeses peanut butter cups, and i hid that god damn note....

they would have "dirt"ed me sooo bad. my name would have been recruit quarterdeck.

 

[chesty]

My mom, sent fudge, cookies and candies while I was in third phase. I never knew I could fit a dozen cookies in my mouth at the same time. Damn they were big too.

 

[TxCollegeguy]

damn cramming in all those sweets...bet you had a hell of a upset stomach from all of that.

 

[chesty]

Not only did I have the cookies in there, the drill instructor was shoving them in with his fingers. They were dry and he wouldn't let me get any water.

 

[TxCollegeguy]

damn thats messed up...No water screw that...NO MILK!!!! ARRH That would drive me nuts.

My cousin has told me a similar story when he was in bootcamp for the marines...His father was a marine and made sure to send him the packages just so they would mess with him a bit more

 

[chesty]

At least my Recruiter never sent me pink panties!

I had a formation with the Commadant and SgtMaj Last week. What a joke these guys want us to look different so the are doing away with starched cammies and shinny boots. No shit the new cammies will be " wash and wear " no iron no starch. I don't think I can allow myself to wear a non-pressed uniform and dull brown boots... Whats next??
