A United States Marine Corps Field Day is very simple to explain. The bottom line is that it is done once a week and it is comprehensive. It is not a "Haze Ex" nor is it a way to "Punish the boots". It is a disciplinary tool to be used to instill a little self discipline so that rooms stay sanitary and Marines stay sharp.
Unfortunately, in the hands of inexperienced leaders, it becomes a haze ex. This was never the intent. When you think of all the discipline tools we have lost in the past 20 years, The "field day is one of the last things that makes a Marine different from a "service member". Never lose your traditions...
We are gonna field day the shit out of this place!
