The Marine Corps Teaches Integrity

Integrity is a big word. Its what and who we are when we have no one supporting us and when no one is looking. Integrity is defined not by what people say but what they do in difficult situations. One could be a street sweeper and one could be leading a nation. It makes no difference. Integrity is fundamental to character building. 

While one doesn't necessarily have to be in the military to have integrity it is certainly a good grounds for gaining that skill. For those who served, they understand the concept of integrity. It is one of the reasons why I believe our young should consider serving as a path to their development but also the ability to develop the character they need throughout their lives.
