I guess I should have been more accurate..

On bases with MEN at work, reveille is at 0600..

etc etc..

AF and Navy bases.. It probably could be as late as 0800 or 0900..

I would love to hear our anthem or reveille or what y'all call colors every day. My hub would definitely like that because he is a former Marine. Too bad we don't have speakers in St. Leonard. Maybe, they could hook it in with the FD speakers! ::

If there is no band or suitable recording of the National Anthem available, then the bugle calls "To The Colors" is played in the morning, and "Retreat" in the evening.

Colors & Reveille....Never EVER call it retreat Marine!!! Hoorah!!
