HEARTFELT POSTS: Make your post heartfelt and personal! Add your own experience, gif, or photo to the comments, too.
INVITE ALL MEMBERS TO COMMENT: These are BATTALION WIDE posts; don't make your post specific to a company. Ask the "seasoned" members to share their recent experiences with the "newbies".

ABOUT THIS BWP: This post should be specifically the Marine Corps' Moto Monday post which you'll find on the Official Marine Corps Facebook page linked below. If the Moto Monday post is not available, choose a post from another approved resource below.

Updated December 21, 2022: As an alternate to the Marine Corps "Moto Monday" post (which seems to be hit or miss now), you can create your own motivational post using one of our memes. Follow proper channels for approval. Do not call it "Moto Monday" as that belongs to the Marine Corps.

All BWP-2 are OFFICIAL Marine Corps or Department of Defense posts. Please read about images below.


Note: Some BWP-2 posts are reserved for specific days. Monday is for MC Moto Monday. Sunday is for MC Chaplain. Top Shot should be posted on the day it is available, so please watch for it daily in the "Top Shot" FB Photo Album linked below.

There are 16 links below that you can choose from; be sure to scroll all the way through to see your full-range of choices. (Instagram added 10/19/2020.)

MILITARY & USMC IMAGES: Use the photos provided in the SHARE buttons for the Marine Corps' websites and Facebook pages. Used properly, their choice of photo will propogate on your post or share. Do NOT change a government photo. If there is no photo available, post it without a photo. Do NOT create a VCM or use any other photo.


MEMBER INTERACTION: Add your VO signature; tag yourself so the members "see" who you are. Be sure to go back in after you make the post so you can talk with the members. They want to hear from YOU.

Important Note to ALL Volunteers: New ideas for a BWP are welcome but require approval FIRST. Seek advise from your coach on new ideas. Your coach will consult with the RTBN Manager. Creating or "piloting" a new post idea is never permitted without explicit permission from the RTBN Manager.
