Major Luxon arrived, leading the Marines from the front; it was impressive to the Rowland family to see the Marine Commander on the road with his men. Major Luxon met with Mr. and Mrs. Luxon for about an hour. Mr. Rowland then asked the Major to follow him. Major Luxon shrugged and thought, why not? The two men headed out to one of the many barns on the property. Mr. Rowland swung open one of the doors, “You think this will help you?” Mr. Rowland asked Major Luxon. The barn was filled from top to bottom with wheat and corn. “We had a bumper crop this year and it seems to be all going to waste,” Mr. Rowland told the Major. “I’m not the one to make the decision Mr. Rowland; you would need to speak to Captain O’Hara the base commander. I’m sure he’ be more than happy to take it. With that said, why not …show more content…
As for the robbers the civilian security forces will be following along. In the meantime the NSWS will be taken on security for the area,” Major Luxon responded. “What’s the NSWS?” Mr. Rowland asked. “Naval Special Weapons Sailors. We Marines took a bunch of them and trained them up like they were Marines. Once we had the first couple of classes trained and we evaluated them, they took over the training. They’ve got two Battalions of them now; see that down the road there?” Major Luxon pointed to the dust trail that had been getting closer and closer. “Yes sir I see that,” Mr. Rowland exclaimed. “That would be First Battalion Naval Special Weapons coming for a visit, and tomorrow Second Battalion will be arriving.” “Why so many?” “We’ve been ordered by Captain O’Hara to expand our perimeters out; we need farm animals and horses for plowing,” Major Luxon eyed Mr. Rowland hoping he would see where he was going with this conversation. “Doesn’t Oceana have its own stables?” “Yes sir it does and we’re using what we can now, but the horses are also being used for transportation by
“No ma’am we’ll wait outside with our vehicles if it’s all the same. Captain O’Hara did tell them help would be out there no more than two hours and he would be back
I believe that the mission of the author, Victor H. Krulak, Lieutenant General, USMC (Ret.), in writing this book was to describe how vital the United States Marine Corps is to our nation and that through the extensive preparation and training we receive, we have become the leading fighting force on and off the battle field. The purpose of this book was to inspire readers about the Marine Corps and to explain stories about how different equipment came into the Corps and how we perfected them. The author’s goal was the educate readers based on his personal experiences
Where were these horses being kept before now? In Woodland, at a lady’s place who has land. She was charging $45 to store his horses on her land, but now she needs the space for her own personal use. So, he has to move the horses as soon as possible.
“Yes, sir,” says the second in command wondering to himself how they would be able to take care of this mess in the timeframe the LT demanded.
“I will have none of it!“ His clenched fist strikes the wall beside them startling the horses across the stable. “We must get back to work before Elizabeth gets home, I can’t have her finding out about us.”

The evening news is filled with stories about war and conflict, that’s happening throughout the world. The U.S Marine Corps is involved in those conflicts and are supporting America’s global interests. My father is a colonel with of 50 years of serve in the Marine Corps. He works every day to ensure the Marine Corps is prepared to carry out the missions that his units are assigned. This paper will discuss and explain Col Garcia’s roles and responsibilities as a Col in our nation’s most reveled military service.
“We had no idea when you would be arriving, runners have been sent to inform the Generals.”
“I hadn’t considered that, but I don’t know that I have the authority to order the Marines to escort me to Fredericks.”
“Alright Commander let me talk to the SEALs and a few others, we’re going to need the Seabee’s too as well as the Marines to clear a path.”
Our guest speaker, Colonel Thomas Clark, USMC (Ret.), gave a speech about leadership. Mr.Clark attended The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina for his undergraduate degree and master’s degree. Mr.Clark obtained his undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Mathematics, and his master’s degree in Project Management with a certification in Technical Project Management. He served 30 years in the Marine as a fighter pilot where he obtained a colossal amount of flight time hours. Mr.Clark served in Iraq and many other wars throughout his career. He also loves being a student, solving puzzles, and a christian. On the first day of class, he ran into Dr.Skipper downstairs before class had started; Dr.Skipper told him, “You are my challenge.”
I want that horse, She half-breathed, half-snarled. Plans were already forming in her labyrinthian mind, daring ideas of thievery and debauchery, of trickery and lies, for she hadn’t brought much to trade with. Above all else her goal here had been to ensure the relative safety of those already ensconced within the Salsolan branch of Freetown and to escort those who had never been before.
I did not know much about the military, but I knew that the Marine Corps was the most difficult and within it, Reconnaissance was the most demanding. I also knew that the harder the job the more rewarding it would be, my desire to seek the toughest challenges always paid off in the end. With the work ethic my parents instilled in me, I knew I would succeed. In my 24-year Marines Corps career as a Recon Marine, I have had the opportunity to learn, lead, and teach Marines of various caliber and rank. As a senior Staff Non-Commissioned Officer my days of performing at the team level are behind me, but I am always learning. I now rely on the young professionals I work with to teach me the latest technical and tactical procedures; this further allows me to establish confidence with our senior Commanders. My introduction to the highly educated Marine Officers in the Amphibious Reconnaissance profession has been an eye opening experience. By working with them on a daily basis, these extremely smart and academically proficient professional men and women have shown me that I too have what it takes to achieve success at an institution of higher learning. My experiences teaching and mentoring young Marines, my work developing a non-profit organization targeted at providing financial and moral support to veterans during their most critically vulnerable point:
