Duty above all else.
Special Duty assignments are a point of distinction within the Marine Corps because they involve activity that is particularly important to the Marine Corps mission. Assignments include Marine Security Guard / Embassy duty, Recruiting duty and Drill Instructor duty. Special Duty assignments are filled on a volunteer basis, and because of their importance, are awarded to Marines who have proven themselves exemplary, or extremely "squared away." By Marine standards, that's saying a lot.
