I, (state your name) do solemnly swear words, words, words, something, something...hell I forget. It was along time ago I just held up my right hand said the mantra and I was Parris Island bound. Sorry I couln't be of more help.
Seriously though, theres a book out called "The making of the Corps" I have it but not handy. Anyway the author does make some reference to the widening gap between the military and the civilian population that they are supposed to serve and protect. Way back when I was in boot camp part of the whole indoctrination/get yourself a new self image thing was to put down as we were taught to call them "slimey, undisciplined civilians". Well that was a long time ago. The book is fairly recent and the authors interpretation of what they are teaching is a little disturbing. No matter what we said amongst ourselves we never forgot who we were working for.
