The United States Marine Corps was founded in 1775, even before our nation was officially formed. This elite group of men and women live by a strict code of integrity and ethics, producing not just strong warriors but people of exceptional character. The core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment inform everything a Marine does, on and off the battlefield.

The Marine Corps plays a major role as the first force on the ground in most conflicts. Today, approximately 180,000 Marines are stationed around the world at all times, ready to deploy quickly whenever and wherever needed. The commitment ranges from four to five years of service, but as the saying goes, "There are no ex-Marines or former Marines, simply Marines in different uniforms and in different phases of life."
