tie with care. HAVING' EARNED the right to Wear the uniform, beaming Marine knots CAPT M.C. ASHLEY, JR. SPOTLESS COMPARTMENT and how it gets that WHY- THE CORP The Sea-Going Marine's duties-and the LEXINGTONE are no exceptions-are many and varied. In addition to being an infantry- man, he must also be trained in the Ways ofthe sea. H3 spends much off-duty and liberty time caring for his equipment so that he will meet the high standards of the Marine Corps. Often he represents the ship as a member of the honor guard. Every other day he is on duty providing the ship's internal security, his off-duty days are spent studying Marine and shipboard topics. At General Quarters he is assigned a position on the 3 f50 gun mount, the interior guard, or at one of the gun-control stations. And as a squad or fire team leader, he is an integral part of the ship's landing force, the primary mission of the detachment. Most important of all, however, he continually exemplifies a true esprit de corps , for which he is Well respected. 7th Front Row: J.C. Waller, Jr., R.L. Larsen, R.E. Bridenthal, P.W.
