Better

Graduation is only 

a few days away

 and the recruits 

of Platoon 3092 

are salty.

They are ready to 

eat their own guts 

and ask for seconds.

Their Drill-Instructors 

are proud to see that 

We are Growing Beyond 

Their Control.

The Marine Corps 

Does not want Robots.

The Marine Corps 

wants Killers.

The Marine Corps 

wants to build 

Indestructible Men.

Men without Fear.

Today, You People are 

no-longer maggots.

Today, You are Marines.

You're part of 

A Brotherhood.

From now on, until 

The Day You Die, 

wherever you are, 

every Marine 

is Your Brother.

Most of you will go to Vietnam.

Some of you will not come back.

But always remember this :

Marines Die.

That's what we're here for.

But, The Marine Corps 

Lives Forever;

and that means, 

You Live Forever.
