Package about Marines and Sailors of Charley Co., 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment beginning an airfield seizure exercise at the Twentynine Palms Airport, Calif. Produced by Cpl. Jared Butler.

It begins with the Commandant's Priorities, then his Planning Guidance follow, and is in turn followed by some very important information, important to all of us. A quote from the Commandant, General James F. Amos:

"A Marine is a Marine. I set that policy two weeks ago - there's no such thing as a former Marine. You're a Marine, just in a different uniform and you're in a different phase of your life. But you'll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico. There's no such thing as a former Marine."
