00:00:00,396 --> 00:00:02,850
- [Narrator] Does anybody know
why the Marine Corps exists?

2
00:00:02,850 --> 00:00:03,683
What our purpose is?

3
00:00:03,683 --> 00:00:05,293
It's pretty singular.

4
00:00:05,293 --> 00:00:07,158
To fight and

5
00:00:07,158 --> 00:00:07,991
- [All] Win!

6
00:00:07,991 --> 00:00:08,860
- [Narrator] Thank you,
the fact of the matter is

7
00:00:08,860 --> 00:00:09,910
Marine Corps's a pretty simple place.

8
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:11,483
We exist for that purpose.

9
00:00:12,830 --> 00:00:15,970
We are held to a higher
standard of behavior,

10
00:00:15,970 --> 00:00:18,920
higher standard of
conduct than anyone else.

11
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,800
We're held on a pedestal by America.

12
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,310
They consider you, IIMEF, to
be an elite fighting force.

13
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:29,650
We have to determine to
fight as a naval force

14
00:00:29,650 --> 00:00:31,813
in an expeditionary environment.

15
00:00:32,710 --> 00:00:34,721
The Marines have to be able to think,

16
00:00:34,721 --> 00:00:37,820
making decisions on the fly.

17
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:40,670
Education helps us learn how to think,

18
00:00:40,670 --> 00:00:43,400
how to tackle problems
we haven't yet seen.

19
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,900
That's the world that you
need to be able to operate in,

20
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:48,590
you need to be able to fight in.

21
00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:50,430
And I think if you stop your education,

22
00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:52,070
you have stopped learning.

23
00:00:52,070 --> 00:00:53,733
You're quickly gonna fall behind.

24
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:56,610
I wanna ask everybody
to set your MORs aside

25
00:00:56,610 --> 00:00:57,460
for just one moment

26
00:00:57,460 --> 00:00:59,760
and think about why you
joined the Marine Corps.

27
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,980
We only joined the Marine
Corps to be a Marine.

28
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:03,280
We found out what our job was

29
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,300
and how we fit in the big piece,

30
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:06,140
but we all joined to be a Marine.

31
00:01:06,140 --> 00:01:07,190
I ask each and every one of you

32
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:09,148
first and foremost, focus
on being the very best

33
00:01:09,148 --> 00:01:11,403
Marine that you can be every single day.

34
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:14,403
Remember that, don't be an average Marine.

35
00:01:14,403 --> 00:01:16,714
Best the best man that you
can be every single day.

36
00:01:16,714 --> 00:01:19,464
