Usage: foreign term
Etymology: Latin
: always faithful -- motto of the U.S. Marine Corps

These Core Values is a new terminology for long standing Marine Corps ethics, that have recently begun to sprout up in other branches of the Armed Services. It has become politically correct to speak about these concepts. I often hear Marines saying Semper Fi; however, they are not doing as they are preaching. In order to be a good Marine and a good leader, I feel that we must live each and every day faithfully, with Honor, Courage, and Commitment to \"OUR CORPS.\" ...\"
