"I went thru boot camp in 58 and it was what we marched to."

Marines, We are the women members of a fighting corps.
Marines the name is known from burning sands to ice-bound shore.
Marines, We serve that men may fight in air, on land, and sea.
Marines the eagle, globe and anchor carry on to make men free.

We're Lady Leathernecks, we marching on to fame.
We're here to fight to make things right and bring our men back home again.
To Bring honor to our corps, is what we're striving for,
to Wear the green of a US Marine and keep the peace for ever more.
