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.
