There are two major components to be successful as a junior Marine fresh in the Fleet. Those two things are Accountability and Time Management. These two things are important because they show that the Marine shows discipline and responsibility, and without those things you will be labeled early as terrible Marine, with those two components comes great responsibility. The accountability of your Marines and of the Marines around you shows that you as a Marine is trustworthy and can complete future missions. Not only be accounted for but timing yourself earlier then the Marines around you shows your higher ups and your junior Marines that you are there to work. Every time we as Marines are scheduled to do something such as form up for PT, form …show more content…
Marines in the past have lost their lives from just as simple as not being accounted for. Marines never take this serious because a lot of people in today’s day of age are always just assuming their numbers are up. That factor is where leadership and responsibility fall into play. “On the night of 30 August 1988, Lcpl Rother was posted alone as a road guard/guide along a desolate trail. In order to guide the Battalions midnight training movements, he was posted on the last of a 3day live fire training exercise the concluded the Battalions training package.” (Almazan) This Marine was still posted 40 hours after he should have gotten relieved. The Marines in in the unit just assumed that Lcpl Rother got picked up and the platoon sergeants had an all hands formation and they all reported “All present”. “At approximately 1730 on 1 September, a weapons inventory highlighted the fact that Lcpl Rother had not been seen in 2 days. From where his remains were found, Lcpl Rother could have seen US Highway 66 (National trails highway) 2 miles away.” (Almazan). This article clearly shows the importance of being accounted for and shows how the sergeants of those platoons were not responsible. They let that Marine suffer when Lcpl
Define lithogeneous, biogenous, hydrogenous, and cosmogenous sediments. Why do you think it is important to be able to differentiate between these?
Tipped to be the next 5 Seconds of Summer, Aussie band Little Sea isn’t your average boy band. In fact, they refuse to use that term. “There are definitely a lot of successful boy bands out there at the moment, which is why we made an executive decision a long time ago (before the band was really ever even a thing actually) to not be a boy band.” Shares Dylan Clark, bass player and pianist for the four-piece.
What also happens is people just lose things and have no idea until later when they need it. Marines lose things because of a few reasons. Probably the most common is when they are being hurried, which is pretty much 100% of the time. The other common reason is because a lot of junior Marines are young, irresponsible, and inexperienced. I’m pretty confident that most of the senior Marines here didn’t start at the level of responsibility or leadership that they are currently at, but have been through what the younger marines are going through and learned from their mistakes, and now trying to teach us so we don’t make them as much as we
Accountability is everything within the Marine Corps and within the working world. Unit cohesion could not exist without accountability. Good communication could not happen without good accountability. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines accountability as: “the quality or state of being accountable; especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions”
Four and a half years as a Marine intelligence analyst has helped me garner the skills necessary to feel confident in choosing and following through in my data analytics career choice. I first joined the military because I had no idea where I was going in life and was intimidated by the college lifestyle. At this very moment, I am nearly the complete opposite of who I was in 2012. I attribute this to two driving forces. One, training and working with knowledgeable Marines who inspired me to seek self-improvement. And two, having the discipline and the drive to attain desired results in whatever challenge I am faced with. Being involved in large scale projects and working side by side with intelligence professionals instilled hardworking habits
In the time of The Essex and In the Heart of the Sea, Nantucket had a population of about 7,000, most of the population living along a road on a rising hill marked with windmills and church steeples. At the waterfront, four large docks extended more than 100 yards into the sea from the harbor. Tied up to these docks were typically 15 to 20 whale ships, along with dozens of other small fishing boats and ships that carried trade goods to and from the island.The first whaling boats were only 20 feet long, launched from beaches along the island’s south shore. Usually a boat would comprise of five Wampanoag (Nantucket Natives) and a white man steering the boat. These boats were only used for whaling around the island, as the had to be rowed back
The robotic mission that I chose was Mariner 10. Mariner 10 was launched on November 3, 1973 intended as a flyby of planet Venus and Mercury. It passed by the Venus in February 1974 and used the gravitational pull of Venus to reach Mercury. Mariner 10 was the first man made object to reach Mercury on March 29th 1974. The technological advancements achieved during the Mercury Mission accelerated the space technology.
NonCommissioned Officers are the backbone of the Marine Corps. Each leader is very different from the other. Some Marines enjoy being a corporal only because of the increase in rank and pay. A few become the tactless leaders junior Marines try to avoid. Fortunately, many others strive to become the leader that other Marines wish to emulate. They know what it means to be a good leader. Those Marines have the traits of a leader and they get to know their Marines
Those possibilities are endless, though often times the scary consequences a unit faces when the enemy takes advantage of careless actions. The fallen wouldn't be the only victims. A carefully folded, United States flag is hand-delivered to loved ones somewhere who didn't know they gave their final goodbye to their Marine. Every family would be hurt if they're forced to read the words; “I regret to inform you that your Marine has been killed in the line of duty.” That Marine would have to explain to everyone that it was due to the carelessness, and selfishness that the situation couldn't be prevented. All because of that Marine who fell asleep on post. If only he/she had not fallen asleep on duty, the whole terrible event would have been dealt with accordingly. That Marine's family would feel ashamed of his/her actions. Not to mention what kind of intel was acquired. Much of the information the government has right now is classified and could easily be stolen if just one person fell asleep on duty, giving the criminal the opportunity to do
Gloria Steinem once said, “Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities.” Imagination and dreams can make anything possible, including me becoming a marine biologist. Ever since I was five years old, i have dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. My dad, stepmom, and me took a trip to Orlando, Florida and I was terrified of what was to come. I didn't know it had the time, but now I realize that this one experience has shaped me into who I am and what I love.
NASA has used both spacecr aft and robots to learn more about Mars. In 1965, Mariner 4 was the first NASA spacecraft to get a close look at the planet. In 1976, Viking 1 and Viking 2 were the first NASA spacecraft to land on Mars. They took pictures and explored the planet’s surface. Since then, more spacecraft have flown near or landed on Mars. They revealed Mars to be a barren world, without any signs of the life or civilizations people had imagined there. In 1971, Mariner 9 orbited Mars, mapping about 80 percent of the planet and discovering its volcanoes and
Many people have had a moment where they encounter something extraordinary that will change a part of them forever. A moment where you are engaged in nothing else but finding your passion and making a career out of it. From that instant on you inspired to start the journey of education in order to accomplish your goals. For me, this moment was when I was accepted into the High School Lake Ecology (HSLE) summer program at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, IL. HSLE was a three week program where me and twenty-three other high school students, who were selected from 400 other applicants, would study for a week at the Shedd, create a research project of our own, and then travel to the Apostle Islands, WI, to collect our own data while kayaking from
A few things that oceanographers do on a daily basis they study the currents of the ocean, they study the bottom of the ocean, they also take samples of the sand and other organisms to study. Oceanographers study the currents in bodies of water because if they didn't they wouldn't be able to tell people where the current isn't so strong and it is safe to swim
Thousands of climbers have reached the highest point on Earth, hundreds have left our planet 2 and ventured into space, but only two people have descended to the deepest point in the ocean. 3 Scientists are looking to discover water on other planets without fully knowing what is in our 4 own oceans. Bearing in mind the planet is over 70% water, no more than 5% of that has been 5 explored. I want to study Marine Biology because I want to understand the most fundamental 6 feature of our existence.
For the longest time I wanted to be a marine biologist, so I decided to take an Ocean Science class this semester and my professors name is Mr. Wayne T. Marko. I decided to interview him for that very reason. I wanted to know why he chose his field, but also why he likes to teach about the ocean. Mr. Marko has his Ph.D. in Geoscience and his M.S. in Geosciences from Texas Tech University. He also received his B.S. in Geological Sciences at the University of Southern California. Mr. Marko’s research concentrates on the structure, petrology, and tectonic environments of igneous and metamorphic rocks. He also has publications about his research.
