Corps Respect: A Family Value

Becoming a Marine Parent

now you've likely heard some new terminologies from your recruit or through reading
information about the Marine Corps. While trying to get yourself wrapped around
the meanings of some of these new terms, you may be seeing the same theme throughout,
but you've not really been successful at labeling that term.

"Semper Fidelis" is Latin for "Always Faithful". Along with the shortened version,
Semper Fi, these two phrases have been adopted as a Marine Corps slogan that is
carried with all Marines for the rest of their lives. A Marine will always be a
Marine; there are no ex-Marines. Every Marine, whether serving four years or 34
years in the Corps, will remain "Always Faithful" to the Marine Corps and the core
values of honor, courage and commitment.

former Marine's take:
Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines is the best summary of the culture of the Marine
Corps I have seen in print. It's straightforward, honest, accurate and concise.
It's an all inclusive overview that hits every important topic with no fluff in
between.
The text is written in a fashion that is both captivating and entertaining. There's
no boring history here; this book will grab you with each page. From the birth of
the Marine Corps and the Birthday Ball to the Mameluke Sword and the Blood Stripe,
Sturkey leaves no aspect of the culture lacking.
It's true, there is much family and friends will never understand about their Marine's
culture, but this book will get you about as close as you can get without stepping
onto the yellow footprints yourself.

and the new Post-9/11 GI Bill offers extended benefits for our more recent service

are literally thousands of acronyms in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and
all branches of the military and there are hundreds of new terms to learn.
Recruits in Marine Corps Bootcamp learn to call a flashlight a "moon beam", a pen
becomes an "ink stick", and the bathroom is "the head".
MarineParents.com created a terminology page as a starting point for recruit families.
The reference contains terms that are most important to learn during recruit training.

Haircuts and Hygiene

Marine Corps Recruit Receiving

Haircuts and Hygiene [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=qovdcsbab&t=x5etfpfab.0.uoj8i5cab.qovdcsbab.60280&ts=S0620&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.recruitparents.com%2Fbootcamp%2Fhaircut.asp]It
is not uncommon to hear a statement like, "Marines sure do look sharp in uniform!"
As a matter of fact, some Marines claim part of their motivation to join the Marine
Corps was found in the desire to attain the honor of wearing the esteemed uniform.

Why do Marines look so sharp in uniform? The answer lies in their incredible attention
to detail and strict uniform regulations which include specifications regarding
haircuts and hygiene.

Recruits learn the importance of these regulations early on in bootcamp as one of
their first stops on the depot is the barber shop.

MCMAP and Pugil Sticks

Training Phase I - Getting Started

MCMAP and Pugil Sticks [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=qovdcsbab&t=x5etfpfab.0.qoj8i5cab.qovdcsbab.60280&ts=S0620&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.recruitparents.com%2Fbootcamp%2FMCMAP.asp]From
its inception in 1775, the Marine Corps has distinguished itself as a Martial Culture.
The legacy of the Corps is built upon the close combat of ships of sail, the storming
of the bois de Belleau, and the holding of "Bloody Ridge" on Guadalcanal.
Drawing upon the rich tradition of promoting values and warrior ethos, the Marine
Corps developed the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program or MCMAP. It is a martial
art that was designed to be, and is the "synergy of mental, character, and physical
disciplines."
In addition to MCMAP, recruits train with pugil sticks. Many recruits have never
experienced the realities of inter-personal violence found in close combat, and
pugil sticks provides effective, but safe, "full contact" combative training at
the entry level.

learn, from training day 1, that to be a Marine is to do what is right in the face
of overwhelming adversity. To understand how to do what is right they are taught
about ethics and the core values.
The Corps' core values are Honor, Courage and Commitment. These values make up the
bedrock of a Marine's character. During recruit training, recruits are taught these
core values and the numerous others attached to them, such as integrity, discipline,
teamwork, duty and esprit de corps.
Team Week is a time for recruits to demonstrate that they understand how to do what
is right, and that they are taking ownership of ethics and the core values.

bootcamp, recruits will have their photos taken with their platoon as well as individually
in the "dress blues" uniform.

A video of graduation is also produced, and that video will include footage from
each battalion. Both Parris Island and San Diego offer these services.

Your recruit will be given an opportunity to purchase the photos as well as the
video. They will also be given the opportunity to order a yearbook, and at Parris
Island, that will be the only time the yearbooks are available for order.
