In my short time in the Marine Corps, I’ve come to learn quite a few things, for example the simple tradition that has been upheld within the Marine Corps for many years now, And that alone separates this branch from any other simply because we as marines hold ourselves to a higher standard, we all have a sense of pride within ourselves and our fellow brothers and sisters and our job and where we come from which is again our tradition.
For instance being on time, this is a vital quality that saves yourself and the Marine Corps a lot of head aches, and it really just makes everyone's live’s easier and it really just makes us look better, for example this prevents everyone waiting on that one marine or group of marines mostly because this

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 author points out various examples of the Corps short-comings throughout history. With the Marine Corps already struggling to stay atop its game, it didn’t shed positive light on the situations. With that said, it’s hard to point out the flaws of the Corps without also showing its achievements and how we can overcome any obstacle we are faced with.

‘Additionally, it is still one of the finest methods for developing confidence and troop leading abilities in our subordinate leaders.’’ The Marine Corps drill and ceremonies is the most important tradition because it foster leadership, unequal discipline, and
There are many different cultures or social groups that have a language barrier whether that is because of religion, race, or social differences. These language barriers eventually will have to be overcome so that we can all communicate with each other. Out of these social groups, comes the greatest fighting force in the World, The Marine Corps. Marines have a very unique language dialog that has been preserved for hundreds of years Unfortunately, there comes a point in time when a Marine must transition out of the Marine Corps into the “Civilian World” (as we call it). Transitioning is a very exciting time for Marines but it also is very difficult time due to the strong language community that we belong to.
On November 10th, 1775 the Marine Corps was established in Tun Tavern during the Revolutionary War. Since that time, the Marines have played an important role in securing America’s freedom through countless battles. The Marines have distinguished themselves as an elite force specializing in military tactics which assist in defeating the enemy under any circumstance. The Marine Corps is a small branch with limited personnel which allows them the
Marine customs are simply desirable courses of action sanctioned by tradition and usage. In the Marine Corps, practically every custom has grown out of the manner in which Marines of the past conducted themselves. Many Marine customs have been incorporated into regulations in order to standardize conduct throughout the Corps, but some of them cannot be found in written directives. Knowing and observing these customs, both written and unwritten, is important to each Marine because it keeps him mindful of the heritage and traditions of his Corps, and of his duty to uphold them. In addition, it makes him feel that he is a part of the team and helps to create the strong bond of loyalty between him and all other
“There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds” (Hamilton). A strength of a warrior does not always come from physical strength, or any bench weight a marine can make. Strength is: bravery, wisdom, and courage to look within oneself. Marines are train physically and mentally to come face to face with any threat that is made to our country, our families, and ourselves. What we fail to understand is the threat we are subconsciously building against ourselves. We are constantly trying to defeat our enemies we are face with and blindly build one of our own. This can be a cause of an unexpected impact, whether it be on the mild end of the “threat spectrum” to almost losing our lives end. This enemy does not discriminate let along chooses sides between good and evil. At this point, the grim reaper does not even scare you because you already live in a hell as a walking dead. A
For example, the medical, architectural and aviation vocations all require a minimum of one to seven years of internship prior to being able to practice their profession unsupervised (American Medical Association, n.d.). Contrary to this, as soon as the Law student passes the State or Uniform Bar exam they are allowed to practice law. Unlike the law field, our other professions must complete a specific residency or internship in their profession and only then are they deemed proficient and licensed to practice in their given field. Additionally, with a timeline ranging from three to fifteen years of formal education and training, one could assume that the mandated education would stop upon being accepted into one to these career fields.

The Marnie Corps has been a part of my family for generations. My father, great uncle, and now my brother chose the Marnie Corps as their branch to serve in the military. Their courage to seek a better future for themselves and all that surround them has inspired me to follow my dreams. Even though, financial hardships due to unexpected medical bills and job loss has created several obstacles. I am constantly reminded to never give up hope by looking at their courageous lives. My family much like true Marines never give falter.
Growing up in a military family, I have seen what it means to serve my country. I spent my formative years moving every 3-4 years from duty station to duty station. The most influential experience was living on Naval Base Guam, an active military installation, where I saw first hand the operational tempo of military life and the indelible effects of World War II. Guam was liberated by U.S. Marines who landed on beaches a few miles from my home and rid the island of the occupying Japanese forces. My road to becoming a U.S. Marine began when my father took me to the top of Nimitz Hill overlooking Asan beach. Surrounded by the names of the fallen marines who liberated Guam, I began to imagine those brave Marines storming the beach. Years later,
The second principle that I acquired from the Marines was the spirit of determination and commitment. In the Marines, you will endure and sacrifice for your fellow Marine. It certainly was not fun to work your butt off to only pay for someone else’s mistake. It is easy to complain, but instead, you go help the weaker Marine in your unit and teach them how to become faster and grow stronger. Marines that complain are thinking about themselves and their own welfare. As a Marine, you are
