U.S. Marine Corps

"Joining the United States Marine Corps will place you alongside more than 40,000 young men and women who will take control of their futures this year. Like them, you are probably seeking a challenge and the opportunity to become a success. And like them, you are ready to set goals and travel a path toward your destiny. On the way to becoming a Marine, you will be trained in the art of self-mastery, acquiring self-discipline, the courage to undertake difficult tasks, and a steadfast commitment to overcoming the challenges before you. More than that, you will become a part of a very special organization built on a foundation of honor, courage and commitment. At the core of every Marine is the warrior spirit, a person imbued with the special kind of personal character that has defined greatness and success for centuries. And in this organization, you will be regarded as family. Marines are warriors. Comprised of smart, highly adaptable men and women, the Marine Corps serves as the aggressive tip of the U.S. military spear. Ours is a smaller, more dynamic force than any other in the American arsenal, and the only forward-deployed force designed for expeditionary operations by air, land, or sea. It is our size and expertise that allow us to move faster. Working to overcome disadvantage and turn conflict into victory, we accomplish great things, and we do so together. In the Marine Corps, there is a motto that describes our commitment to each other, our organization, and our country. It is Semper Fidelis or "Semper Fi." Translated from Latin, it means "Always Faithful."
