The Griffins
The griffin, griffon, or gryphon (Greek: γρύφων, grýphōn, or γρύπων, grýpōn, early form γρύψ, grýps; Latin: gryphus) is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet. Because the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle the king of birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of all creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.[1]
In Greek and Roman texts, griffins and Arimaspians were associated with gold. Indeed, in later accounts, "griffins were said to lay eggs in burrows on the grounds and these nests contained gold nuggets".[2] Adrienne Mayor, a classical folklorist, proposes that the griffin was an ancient misconception derived from the fossilized remains of the Protoceratops found in gold mines in the Altai mountains of Scythia, in present-day southeastern Kazakhstan, or in Mongolia,[3] though this hypothesis has been strongly contested as it ignores pre-Mycenaean accounts.[4] In antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.[
9th BDE are enthusiastic grope of Starfleet Marines in RG 9 how conduct them self's with a professional disciplinary manner disregard politics its not how we do things we rather do than talk about it and hew lots of fun earning watt we do for the corps
we are weary loyal to all brothers and sisters in the corps we stick to gather and stop at nothing feel free to join but knowingly that a lot is expected of you and you must be faith full to Starfeet Marine corps. The STARFLEET Marine Corps is a group affiliated with STARFLEET, The International Star Trek Fan Association Inc. The SFMC is considered an office under the Vice Commander, STARFLEET and as such reports to Vice Commander, STARFLEET. Fictionally, the SFMC is part of the Ground Forces that are rarely seen in the episodes but are assumed to be a part of the Naval Fleet of the United Federation of Planets. We are members of STARFLEET. The Corps does not have different requirements for membership, except that a STARFLEET Marine must be a member in good standing in STARFLEET. Although it does have a different name for each rank within the promotional system, and a different organizational structure than the Naval portion of STARFLEET, STARFLEET Marines are regular, dues paying members. Some STARFLEET members are Marine Reserve. These are members who are active in the naval portion of the Fleet AND with the Ground Forces area as well. Occasionally you may find a STARFLEET Marine who is or was active military, but this is not a requirement to be in the Corps.
Besides taking part in local chapter, Regional and Fleet-wide activities, STARFLEET Marines occasionally hold their own separate activities. These can be anything from paint ball or laser tag to fund-raising events like Toys for Tots or blood drives.
The SFMC has its own Academy as well. Since much of the fictional aspects of the Corps revolve around the ground-based military, the courses offered are based around the various Branches of Duty within the SFMC. Examples of these are Infantry, Special Ops, Armor and even MECHA (similar to the Battletech & MechWarrior game system). Some courses are based on Leadership skills, designed to help a Strike Group Leader improve his ability to lead his group within the chapter's structure.
Wherever there is one STARFLEET Marine, there is a Strike Group. STARFLEET Marine groups take on various forms, from the usual Marine Strike Group on an active chapter, to a Marine Expeditionary Unit on a chapter that has left STARFLEET (membership in STARFLEET is required, remember). There are lots of MSGs across the Fleet. Check the Alert Roster for one near you, or for the name of the Brigade or Battalion CO in your state or Region, to contact for more information.
The STARFLEET Marine Corps is organized under the Marine Force Manual. This publication has a multitude of information about the Corps, our rank system, awards, and uniforms. The MFM is only available through either the SFMC site or the SFMCA site . You can download the MFM from the knowledge base section of this site.
