Young Marine Creed and Obligation

Creed
1. Obey my parents and all others in charge of me whether young or old


2. Keep myself neat at all times without other people telling me to.

3. Keep myself clean in mind by attending the church of my faith.

4. Keep my mind alert to learn at school, at home, or at play.

5. Remember having self-discipline will enable me to control my body and mind in case of an emergency.

Obligation
From this day forward, I sincerely promise, I will set an example for all other youth to follow and I shall never do anything that will bring disgrace or dishonor upon my God, my Country, and its flag, my parents myself and the young marines. These I will honor and respect in a manner that will reflect credit upon them and myself. Semper Fidelis
