The goal of the corps of NCOs, whose duty is the day-to-day business of running the Army so that the officer corps has time to command it, is to continue to improve our Army at every turn.

Who has created more peace in the world, the Peace Corps or the Marine Corps?

Dennis Prager

In the Marine Corps, I was used to people doing what they said and saying what they mean. There was a higher purpose and calling in the Corps.
