Once a Marine, always a Marine. The oath below, made in May of 1961, is for always.
"I, William J. Spriggs, having been
appointed an officer in the Marine Corps of the United States, do solemnly
swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any
mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully
discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me
God."
