Recruiting is the lifeblood of the Corps. The legacy of the Marine Corps is to “Make Marines, Win Battles, and Return Quality Citizens.” Citizens, once transformed, will be Marines for life. As such, we are dedicated to recruiting high quality men and women of character to meet the needs of our Corps and the nation and who are representative of the people we serve. We are known for our high standards, strong work ethic, and commitment to work as a team to accomplish the mission.
