 Marines, a certain major and I would like to take a minute of your time to impress on you the importance of the training you're about to receive. This training on our Oath of Office and Oath of Enlistment is a reminder of the foundations of our profession and our democracy. Additionally, you'll discuss behaviors and activities that are inconsistent with that oath and with the high standards of conduct expected of United States Marines. These are well-known as the world's premier fighting force because of our tenacity, loyalty, and bonds with one another. As the Commonwealth previously remarked, we must continuously strive to eliminate any division in our ranks and to treat each other with dignity and respect. Actively advocating extremist doctrine, ideology, or causes, or actively participating in extremist activity cannot and will not be tolerated. Never forget that it's a privilege to serve this great nation and I expect each one of you will do so with honor, courage, and commitment. Semper Fidelis
