It takes something special to become a Marine. Marines are our Nation’s elite warrior force and every one of them possesses an unyielding fighting spirit. Transformed by the searing heat of intense training and equipped with superior fighting skills, Marines have the ability to look at chaos and never panic. To never back down from any threat. To close and destroy. This is the warrior ethos that connects and drives every Marine – an unrelenting spirit, courage, and commitment to their brothers and sisters on an evolving battlefield.
