Marine Corps : Electronic Warfare Platform

The Marine Corps. Demand alertness at all times. Building the Marine’s confidence and teaching them the attitudes of group loyalty and

After the Vietnam War ended, the Marine Corps’ main focus changed from broad scale operations, to being an Expeditionary Force in Readiness. Although this was no new role for the United States Marine Corps (USMC), there have been many changes in society, technology and tactics that affect how the Corps operates. However, over the last 36 years one thing has remained the same, and that is the role of the Marine Non Commissioned Officer (NCO). With the world changing ever so rapidly, the strong values and responsibilities of the Marine NCO are now, more than ever, necessary to carry out the operations being assigned to United States Marines. The role of the NCO is characterized by their

Recent changes to the High Year Tenure (HYT) waiver process timeline at the E6-E8 level for fiscal year 2016 are too short. This change has caused extremely compressed timelines for members to make the necessary preparations after they have been identified for mandatory retirement. It has also led to uncertainty months into the assignment year for units with HYT candidates. The Coast Guard needs to expand the E6-E8 HYT waiver timeline to align with the E3-E5 HYT waiver timeline.

The book is intended to show readers how the direction and purpose of the Marine Corps has been influenced by many over the years. It shows the pride, determination and love of the Corps and our country that Krulak felt.

Early realignment and retaining eight OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Helicopter Armament / Electrical / Avionics Systems Repair (15J) Soldiers work in A Troop remained paramount to launch-recover-launch operations, an Operational Readiness (OR) rate of over 98%, and leading TF Wolfpack with over 11,000 hours flown

Since the birth of our nation, the steady performance of the Marine Corps in fighting America’s battles has made it the very symbol of military excellence. The Corps has come to be recognized worldwide as elite fighting forces, renowned for their physical endurance, for their high level of obedience, and for their fierce pride they take in, as individuals, in the capacity for self- discipline. The reasons for their high repute however go much deeper.” – Clare Booth Luce

Go back in time, prior to hitting those yellow footprints, whether it be in San Diego or Perris Island. You are sitting on your couch and the United States Marine Corps TV commercial, America`s Few comes on. In this commercial, as Marines run towards ‘the calling’ you hear in the background rifle cracking as the silent drill team handles rifles with bayonets with extreme precision. The cracking rifle sound serves as a “call,” ‘spiritually speaking. We might think of it, and the honorable President Obama has made this very timely, as the “call to service” or the “call less heeded” instead of “the road less traveled’. ‘You can’t just answer the call, you must also prove worthy of the title before you take your place in the line of America’s Marines–the purpose for which our protagonists began the journey and, importantly, issue the call to others down the generations.’’ Throughout a Marines career, drill and ceremonies are a constant because ‘‘the object of close order drill is to teach Marines by exercise to obey orders and to do so immediately in the correct way. Close order drill is one foundation of discipline and esprit de

This is where a Recruit learns for the first time the amount of disciple that is expected from a Marine. All Recruits are taught exactly the same from MCO P 5060.2 to keep consistency.3 Once a Recruit has completed Recruit training, and has then earned the title Marine, the Marine is then sent on to MOS training. Once the Marine arrives at the next training the Marine maybe come in charge of fellow Marines of the same rank or subordinate rank. Once in this position the Marine will have to show confidence in leading fellow Marines. Discipline is not only expected from a Marine’s superiors. Both superiors and subordinates alike expect confidence from a Marine in a leadership position. One of the best ways of building confidante in a new Marine is by putting the Marine in front of other Marines to conduct closer order drill, and give commands. Once a Marine has gained the confidence to lead a small unit the Marine is then ready to take charge of a larger unit. This also leads to confidence in other aspects of a Marines

SSgt Diaz, words cannot describe how much I agree with you on this post.  I believe one of the biggest issue in the Marine Corps is the ability to be humble.  From all levels, there are Marines who believe their way is right even if an idea that presented in front of them could ease a process or that is much safer. There has been countless times to where I have run into Marines who have this type of mentality and seeing the Marines they lead that are miserable and they want to get out of the Corps because of this.  We are all taught to have a sense of pride in what we do, but sometimes we must step back and see the big picture in order to fulfill the mission.  In order to do this, we must be humble and be willing to take the good, bad, and

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

The Marine Corps does two things: make marines and win our nation’s battles. Winning battles depend on how well we make marines. Those who have earned the title have been polished and honed by attentive mentoring. We have to remember that to sustain the transformation

The Marine Corps is not just an organization but instead it is a mindset, a spirit if you will,

The military across the board has been making a transition in to peace time life. This is fairly difficult for people like myself, because we are used to the Marine Corps being a certain way. Nearly Ninety percent of the Infantry in 2007 was composed of individuals that knew, or were asking to go to war. With the tightening down on certain aspects of rather relaxed rules and regulations. From the time that I had joined, many of our war hardened hero’s found themselves in a predicament with having to leave the military by force. Rules such as the tattoo policy which at one time was ok to have tattoos, overnight Combat Veteran Marines were told to find work elsewhere. Knowing the reasons why I had originally joined, and seeing what was becoming of future warfighters, I knew I didn’t see the true focus of the mission at hand.

Our squadron is one of two commands on the west coast operating the MQ-8 Fire Scout able to deploy on Littoral Combat Ships (LCS). This fiscal year, we received two Fire Scout UAVs and the difficulties of maintaining

Everyday a man screams him self blue in the face to make them a trained killer, teaching them the most valuable assets, so they can come home to their the loved ones. This all a very complex process and nothing feels better than finally receiving that Eagle Globe and Anchor and earning the title, United States Marine. That sense of accomplishment and self-gratification cannot ever be measured by mathematics or science because it’s personal and differentiates from man to man.
