THE 1/8 BATTALION CREED
I recognize the fact that I have volunteered to serve with the 1st Battalion 8th Marines. "The Cutting Edge." As a 1/8 member I will always strive to uphold the prestige and honor of the Battalion. Gallantly I will show other squad and clans that I am a specially selected and well trained Marine. My courtesy to superior officers and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Above all I will reach my objective with honor!

I will have pride in my Battalion, Platoon, Squad and Myself. Never shall I fail my fellow Marines. I will always keep myself mentally alert and physically strong. I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be. I will be their eyes and ears, working as one entity.

I will be ever vigilant of the dangers to the Battalion. . Should they be flanked I will provide back-up to all team members, and constantly watch their backs when engaged in fire! I will be the eyes in the back of their head and they will be the eyes in the back of mine!

Courageously and Energetically will I meet the enemies of the West. Acting without mercy I shall defeat them on the field of battle. For I will be better trained and will fight with all my might. I will always maintain that I am a member of the team and never an individual.

I will train endlessly, mastering each weapon available to me, for these are the tools of my survival. I will choose my weapons carefully as to compliment my team and enhance the effectiveness of it to complete the mission.

Acknowledging the fact that as a 1/8 member I will arrive at battle by Land, Sea, or Air. Moving further, faster, and fight harder than any other soldier in any other squad! I accept that my commanders and team members expect me to be in place and do my part to complete the objective. I will never leave my team in jeopardy while maintaining my own safety over the safety of the team.

Loyalty to my superiors , chain of command, and allegiance to the force is engrained in my soul! I will never overstep my authority. My superiors lead and I will follow! I will never question their authority and will never degrade them when speaking to others. If I find I cannot follow their orders or respect them I will immediately resign my status as a 1/8 Battalion member.

I will perform the impossible. Be where others cannot be, see where others cannot see, act when others cannot act. My team is my lifeblood and I am theirs. If I fail, my platoon is jeopardized as is the Battalion; Therefore I will NOT fail.

I will place each shot on target whether it be as Sniper or Lead Infantry. I will choose every shot carefully, identifying each target as the enemy before releasing my lethal payload. I will never fire recklessly as to jeopardize any of my team to "friendly fire."

I will never fail to respond to the call of a battalion member needing my assistance , knowing they will always respond to mine. I will never leave a fallen 1/8 member to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass the battalion or fellow members of the elite the 1st battalion 8th Marines!
