WEBVTT 00:04.610 --> 00:06.710 - Marines, the story of our Corps was 00:06.719 --> 00:08.941 written by generations of Americans who 00:08.941 --> 00:10.997 fought with courage, tenacity, and 00:10.997 --> 00:13.239 grit. It is a story of making Marines, 00:13.250 --> 00:15.083 winning our nation's battles and 00:15.083 --> 00:17.209 returning quality citizens to society 00:17.219 --> 00:19.150 after their honorable service. 00:19.461 --> 00:21.920 - Just like all of you, earning the eagle, globe 00:21.930 --> 00:24.152 and anchor was one of the most defining 00:24.152 --> 00:26.430 moments of my life. But that day was 00:26.440 --> 00:29.071 only the beginning of the journey, not the end. 00:29.071 --> 00:32.335 - We live semper fidelis every day through our core values. 00:32.889 --> 00:34.500 It is a commitment that we must 00:34.500 --> 00:36.722 continually protect and reaffirm in and 00:36.722 --> 00:38.778 out of uniform, whether active duty, 00:38.778 --> 00:41.970 reserve, veteran or retired. Contrary 00:41.979 --> 00:43.979 to popular belief, Marines are not 00:43.979 --> 00:46.146 perfect. Sergeant Major and I are still 00:46.146 --> 00:48.201 growing in mind and spirit, and we're 00:48.201 --> 00:50.368 still being guided and mentored by our 00:50.368 --> 00:52.535 families and by Marines of all ranks. 00:52.535 --> 00:54.423 - Today, we published a completely 00:54.423 --> 00:56.257 revamped version of Marine Corps 00:56.257 --> 00:58.201 Training Publication 6-10, 00:58.201 --> 01:00.368 Sustaining the Transformation. It was 01:00.368 --> 01:02.540 originally released in 1999 under the 01:02.549 --> 01:04.549 authority and leadership of General 01:04.549 --> 01:06.660 Krulak and Sergeant Major Lee, and 01:06.660 --> 01:08.882 it served as a guide for junior Marines 01:08.882 --> 01:10.993 during those first formative years in 01:10.993 --> 01:13.160 the fleet. The people responsible for 01:13.160 --> 01:15.814 writing this publication came from you, a group of Marines from 01:16.035 --> 01:19.105 throughout the fleet, of different ranks 01:19.105 --> 01:20.938 and experiences, dedicated to the 01:20.938 --> 01:22.771 evolution of how and why we must 01:22.771 --> 01:24.660 sustain the transformation. This 01:24.660 --> 01:26.716 publication will serve as a tool for 01:26.716 --> 01:28.771 generations so we can continue to be 01:28.771 --> 01:31.019 who we say we are. - Any Marine who 01:31.029 --> 01:32.973 steers away from our core values 01:32.973 --> 01:34.696 weakens our cohesiveness, our 01:34.696 --> 01:36.862 readiness, and our ability to create an 01:36.862 --> 01:38.973 unfair fight against the enemy. Your 01:38.973 --> 01:41.085 chain of command is there to lead and 01:41.085 --> 01:43.140 support you, but the responsibility 01:43.140 --> 01:45.029 for living up to the title Marine 01:45.029 --> 01:47.085 belongs to you. - We need everyone to 01:47.085 --> 01:49.140 read Sustaining the Transformation 01:49.140 --> 01:51.029 and talk about it, from private to 01:51.029 --> 01:52.751 sergeant major. - And from second 01:52.751 --> 01:54.529 lieutenant to general officer. 01:54.529 --> 01:56.640 - Remember, we remain semper fidelis until 01:56.640 --> 01:58.862 the day we die. - And never forget, Marines, 01:58.862 --> 02:01.085 that there's no one else out there like you. 02:01.085 --> 02:03.474 - We're proud of you. - Semper fidelis.
