Do the Marines say goodnight to Chesty Puller every night?

"The Marine Corps's mascot is perpetually named "Chesty Pullerton." (e.g. Chesty Pullerton XIII) He is always an English Bulldog.

Chesty Puller remains a well known figure in Marine Corps folklore, with both true and exaggerated tales of his experiences being constantly recounted in the U.S. Marine Corps.

A common incantation in Marine Corps boot camp is to end one's day with the declaration, "Good night, Chesty Puller, wherever you are!"

In Marine recruit training and OCS cadences, Marines chant "It was good for Chesty Puller/And it's good enough for me" — Chesty is symbolic of the esprit de corps of the Marines."

Puller, who died in 1971, may be little known outside of the Marine Corps. But his name lives on among the men and women who serve. At any Marine base around the world, the close of day is often greeted with the cry, "Goodnight, Chesty Puller, wherever you are."
