Success No Matter the Challenge

It is a respected quality to always strive to be better than the person you are today - this is integral to the mission of the Marine Corps. The lifetime traits of self-reliance, discipline, and personal development drive Marines to great accomplishment.

Former astronaut and US Senator John Glenn is a former Marine. So is Frederick W. Smith, CEO of FedEx.

Success is not confined to post-service. Active Marines have all overcome one obstacle or another to become what they are today: successful, productive members of the Corps.

For both current and former Marines, success stories abound because the core values they learned in Recruit Training are the very tools one needs for success.
