 Louis D. Lee, I was 13th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. I'm Alfred L. McMichael, the 14th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. My name is John L. Estrada, 15th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. Carlton Kent, 16th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. Sergeant Major Michael P. Barrett, 17th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, 2011 to 2015. Be as good as you can. It's really not that hard to be a good Marine. Give your best ability, no matter what job that are assigned to you. Just give it your very best and things will work out. My best advice to Marines is to be the ultimate follower so that you can develop into the supreme leader. Never forget where you came from. And I never forgot where I came from as a private, all the way up to the 16th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. Because I always put myself in those Marine shoes, and I always say I remember when I was a Lance Corporal, how would I feel about that? I remember when I was an NCO, how did I feel about that? So the Marine Corps taught me to always remember, never forget where you came from. And I did that for 36 years. You are never going to get to where you want to be by remaining where you are. If there is something you absolutely want to do in your career, nothing, no obstacle should be in your way, go for it. That's my advice.
