Every choice you make is like a puzzle piece—building a stronger, sharper, mission-ready version of you. Staying drug-free isn’t just about following orders. It’s about dominating every aspect of Marine Corps Total Fitness (MCTF).
Marine Corps Total Fitness & Drug-Free Living
- Social Fitness: Trust and teamwork suffer when drugs enter the picture.
- Spiritual Fitness: Live by your values and stay aligned with your purpose.
- Mental Fitness: The mission demands clear thinking. Stay sharp, stay drug-free.
- Physical Fitness: Drugs impair performance, reaction time, and endurance.
How to Get Involved (October 23-31, 20-25)
- Gear Up. Wear red—ribbons, shirts, hats. Show you’re all in.
- Talk it Out. Start conversations with your unit family about why staying drug-free matters.
- Sign the Pledge. Make it official: Red Ribbon Pledge Activities
- Share Online. Use #LiveDrugFree and tag:
- @RedRibbonWeek on Facebook/X
- @RedRibbonCampaign on Instagram
The Bottom Line
Staying drug-free boosts readiness, mission success, and strengthens both families and units. When you rock red, share your “why,” and sign the pledge, you send a clear message:
We’re strong. We’re ready. We’re drug-free.
Let's build a mission-ready Corps—one good choice at a time.
