Marines with the Deployment Processing Command, Reserve Support Unit-East, conducted a mess night aboard the USS North Carolina, May 1, 2015. The mess night, which is an integral part of the Marine Corps heritage, was intended to promote unit cohesion and was in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service. In times past, the mess served three functions. It was the home for bachelor officers or enlisted Marines, a club for the married ones and the center of social life of a post or station. The formality of the mess night reflects the same spirit of dignity that was practiced by U.S. Armed Forces dating back to pre-World War I days. (U.S. Marine Corps photo and video by Cpl.
