Reserves. Making the Difference
Marine Corps reservists provide the extra depth of force the Corps needs in times of conflict. And once called, these men and women are ready to make the difference.
The Marine Corps Oath
"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic." With this phrase begins life as a Marine. And we treat it as the solemn promise that it is.
A Life in the Corps
Marines spend their time taking care of our nation, so it's only fitting that the Marine Corps take good care of its own. Our Marines and their families enjoy a wide range of benefits ranging from generous paid vacation to full medical and dental coverage.
Semper Fi
In the Marine Corps, the phrase Semper Fidelis forms the cornerstone of our culture. It means "Always Faithful" - to our Country, to our Corps and to our families. This is our way of life.
Those who wear the uniform
The men and women who wear the Marine Corps uniform do so with unmistakable pride. It sends a message that patriots still exist, and that someone is looking out for our nation and its people.
Bases
The Marine Corps is a sea going, expeditionary force, with bases on both U.S. coasts, as well as around the world. From Hawaii to Okinawa, Marines are everywhere.
Dedication
What would cause people to volunteer to leave the comfort of home and family for the demanding uncertainty of the Corps? The simple belief that our way of life is worth defending.
