Even if you can't spell it or pronounce it, the Marine Corps has it in spades. One example: When sailors get tattoos, they do it to express their individuality, and their choices range from Betty Boop and Mickey Mouse to raging sea serpents. When Marines get tattoos, they do it to express their solidarity, and choose bull dogs, "<B>Death before Dishonor</B>," and "<B>USMC</B>."  Esprit de corps transcends the barriers of time and space, religion and race. A Marine is a Marine. Once a Marine, Always a Marine. It's training you never outgrow, and a brotherhood you never forget. </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="#although_these_leadership_concepts" TITLE="USMC and LEADING PEOPLE"><U><B>BACK</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="leadership.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="LEADERSHIP"><U><IMG SRC="0bc0b0b0.png" border=0 width="11" height="11" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  LEADERSHIP</U></A>           <A HREF="traits.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="TRAITS"><U><IMG SRC="0bc0b0b0.png" border=0 width="11" height="11" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  TRAITS</U></A>      <A HREF="need.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="NEED TO KNOW"><U><IMG SRC="0bc0b0b0.png" border=0 width="11" height="11" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  NEED TO KNOW </U></A>     <A HREF="history.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="HISTORY"><U><IMG SRC="0bc0b0b0.png" border=0 width="11" height="11" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">   HISTORY </U></A>        <A HREF="links.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" LINKS"><U><IMG SRC="0bc0b0b0.png" border=0 width="11" height="11" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  LINKS </U></A>        <A HREF="books.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" BOOKS About LEADERSHIP "><U><IMG SRC="0bc0b0b0.png" border=0 width="11" height="11" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  BOOKS</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
