MARINEFORCESRESERVE
v
MARCH 2017
COMMUNICATOR You’ve heard me say it before: Marines are the most ready, when the nation is least ready. This is not just a clever tag line, it’s our ethos. In fact, last month, the Commandant issued a concise, simple message to our entire force that addresses just how to make ourselves not only ready, but better. Would you be ready to deploy tonight if I called you? How are you contributing to your unit readiness and efficiency? How are you making yourself more valuable to your unit and your fellow Marines and Sailors? Are you taking care of your mind, your body, and your spirit? And how are you growing as a Marine and a leader? If you haven’t done so already, go read the guidance for yourself. When you finish, ask yourself whether you’re doing enough to be the warrior that your unit, the Corps, and the nation needs and can count on at a moment’s notice. Semper Fidelis.
