Marine Corps

Dealiest weapon in the world: a marine and his rifle

Marines never die...they just go to hell and regroup

Marines always welcome, relatives by appointment

USMC
Uncle Sam's Misguided Children

Forget Smith and Wesson, this property protected by a U.S. Marine

To err is human, to forgive is divine, however neither is Marine Corps policy

USMC
when it absolutely, positively must be destory overnight!

There are two types of people: Marines and those who wish they were

Heaven won't take us and hell's afraid we'll take over

Women Marines, fewer, prouder

All men are created equal, then some became Marines

No promises, no shortcuts, no retreat, no surrender

If everyone could get in, it wouldn't be the Marines

You can take the Marine out of the corps, but you take the corps out of the Marines

USMC artillery
a grunt's favorite music

Marine: your best friend, your worst enemy

The Marines are not a branch, we are a breed

Death smiles at everyone, Marines smile back

USMC is part of the Navy
the men's department

Pain is on temporary, pride is forever

When the experts panic, they call the Marines

*those are some favorite Marine Corps Bumper Stickers*

Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problen. -President Ronald Reagan (1985)

There are only two kinds of people who understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion. -Unknown

I can never again see a United States Marine without experiencing a feeling of reverence. ~General Johnson, U.S. Army

The more Marines I have around, the better I like it. ~General Clark, U.S. Army

Sleep easy tonight, the Marines are on duty. ~Unknown

Marine Corps integrity is doing that which is right, when no one is looking. ~Colonel Colin Lampard U.S. Marine Corps

Part of the Marine Prayer~

“Father…if I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer. Amen.”

Combat Proverbs~

*If you must whisper, exhale most of the air from your lungs before doing so. It eliminates the tell-tale hissing that is made by a whisper.

*Move fast, strike hard, and finish rapidly.

*Find the enemy before he finds you. If you do not strike first, you will be the first struck.

*Never get into a fair fight. Be sneaky and always cheat.

*Avoid over camouflaging your position. It is just as obvious as having no camouflage.

*If the enemy is within range, so are you.

*The enemy diversion you ignore is usually his main attack.

*If you lose contact with the enemy, remember to look behind you.

*Do not build your positions where the enemy would expect to find them.

*Carry lots of ammo; it’s cheap life insurance. When in a fire fight, pace yourself. Otherwise you will run out of ammo--often at the worst time.

*Wound the enemy since it takes at least one or two other soldiers to drag an injured soldier off the battlefield, thereby reducing the number of those left who can fight.

*The best time to escape is right after you get captured. First, you are in the best physical shape at that time. Second, friendly fire may cause enough confusion to allow you to escape. And third, you know the area where you were captured.

*taken from "To Be A U.S. MARINE by S. F. Tomajczyk

*I thought I liked the Navy best, I still might, but I know I loove the Marines!! =) I doubt I'll join the military, but if I did, it'd be the Marines...altho I've always wanted to work on a aircraft carrier in the Navy. =)*

Yeah, my friend who wants to be a Marine says, "A Marine is a real man--all the other branches of the military are sissies!"

I've heard this one. "The Marines are all the branches of the military combined-and then put on steriods."

Written by a Marine,(me):
In all other services people who have served say
"I was in" ,but we, become Marines. It is completely different. It is who we are, not something we do.

I actually decided to join the Marines a few years ago, and I haven't changed my mind. I love some of these sayings, BTW.

"California", he said, "is a beautiful wild kid on heroin, high as a kite and thinking she's on top of the world, not knowing that she's dying, not believing it even when you show her the marks." - Motorcycle Boy, from S.E. Hinton's 'Rumble Fish"

"I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same question." - Harun Yahya

I enjoyed my time in the Navy on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier (CV-62 USS Independence)! If I couldn't do that I guess I would have enlisted in a different branch like the Marines. At least you go camping in some foreign country's backyard and get to blow s**T up! There will be a piece of my heart that will always be set aside for the Marines being that I got to go "A" school with a few of them. No one has your back in a fist fight better than a Marine, like a dog, Devil Dogs are loyal to each other and theirs. IF you should find yourself privileged enough for one of these "Devil Dogs" to call you friend consider yourself in the best company the hand of God could ever protect you with. Why get backup in a fight when you have a Marine for friend!

Most people go through an entire lifetime wondering whether they are going to make a difference. Marines don,t have that problem
