Perfect Marine Crew Starters

The Non Commissioned Officer (NCO); the "backbone" of the Marine Corps. The driving force behind the battle of Belleau Wood, the battle of Hue City, the fight for Fallujiah, the taking of Marjah and, most recently, the battle against suicide and sexual harassment. No other group of men and women in the world have been called to fight across such a broad area of operation. As we look at the ever-adapting role of the NCO, we must first look to the past. One of the foremost examples that comes to mind is John Basilone. To Marines, Basilone needs no introduction. He was a hero, and Sergeant when he was awarded the Medal of Honor. No words can better describe his heroism than his citation. “For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous

The purpose of this brief is to inform Marines on the Marine corps order for uniforms, appearance, and wear. Upon completion of this brief I am confident that you will have the knowledge and skills to properly wear the approved Marine Corps MCCUU uniform or “cammies” as commonly known.

From 1974 to the present, two separate spacecraft have completed journeys to Mercury: Mariner 10 and MESSENGER. The objective was and is the same for both, that objective being to get pictures of Mercury from several angles, so scientists at NASA have multiple points of reference. Mariner 10 attempted this, to little avail, and so MESSENGER was brought on to do the job.

The Marine Corps historical characteristics after the Civil War could be based in part on survivability and the need for the Marine Corps to prove its worth to the United States as a Military Force. The Marine Corps part in the Civil War had been small and not altogether impressive. Both the Army and the Navy did not regard the Marine Corps as useful. This paper will in effect touch on the Marine Corps history from after the Civil War to World War I. It will then converge on a discussion with regards to the fight against the disestablishment of the Marine Corps. (Simmons/Moskin 1998)

The U.S. Marine Corps’ is thought to be one of the five free standing military departments, but in all actuality there is only three departments. The U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Navy are the only branches of the military that are correctly recognized as their own departments. There are two other Branches of the military that are under the U.S. Navy, one is the United States Marine Corps’. They were created to protect, but now they need protecting from budget cuts and disbanding. In order to protect the Corps’, they need to become their own U.S. Department, with their own funding and supplies.

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.

The book I chose to read this Summer for our Summer Reading Project was I Am A SEAL Team Six Warrior. One of the reasons I chose to read this book was due to the topic it talked about, which is the military. I like books with this topic due to the fact that I have an interest in the military and I like reading the soldiers stories. The book I Am A SEAL Team Six Warrior is about a man’s life story and their experience in the Military.

Since the very beginning it was first established, the Coast Guard was never seen as important to the people for about 200 years. Why is it that they’ve never had notice? How come they do all the dirty work in the ocean and no one seems to care? Well the Coast Guard is the reason why the United States has been protected, so that we can go to bed at night knowing that nothing’s going to happen to us. There are many reasons to why the Coast Guard is so important to society. The U.S. Coast is a huge part of our military and follows certain goals on the ocean to protect us from harm. There are also individuals who are aware of the situations that the Coast Guards are going through and by helping they get involved with some of the minor

If I had a ticket of any kind, to go anywhere, to do anything, and anything could happen, I would want it to be a bus ticket to take me straight to any marine corps recruiting office to enlist in the corps to serve my beloved country. Of course you’re probably thinking, What? Why this? All my life i’ve had everything great but my life is not yet complete, I haven't given anything back to the people or our country for making me the person I am today, but now I have finally found a way to give back.

I found the readings this week very difficult to read because of the injustices many students face in schools. I have been interested in studying education since I was in high school. I am currently not on the track to become a teacher, but I still see the value of a teacher and the value of a student feeling safe in schools. In Herbert’s article, he discusses the vast difference in punishments a white student and a black student received. In my life I grew up in predominately white neighborhoods and went to schools with predominately white students, and did not have a first hand account of the injustices students of color face each day. After learning about education and volunteering in local schools, I have found that these injustices are

Popular Sovereignty is a concept where the power of government in a democracy is granted by us who elected that government. This is the idea of people having the power to vote and have a voice in the government. We have the constitution that was made by James Madison in order to limit both the powers of government and the powers of the people according to the discussion. Madison made the constitution to deal with factions so no single group or faction will be too powerful compared to the others. According to the discussion and videos, faction is a group of people working to benefit itself at the cost of others.

My Mother and Father relocated from Costa Rica to New York City where they met got married and where I was born. When I was just two years old, always wanting the best for us, my father moved our family from New York City to Jacksonville, FL in search of a better paying job and the American dream so he could provide us with a better quality of life. To ensure we were always clothed and feed, my father sacrificed everything for us and worked long hours to do so. Though I did have a pronounced, safe and active upbringing the North Florida school system didn’t expect much from the Hispanics that were starting to move to the then small town; unfortunately since my parents worked so much they expected the school system

“We've all got both light and dark inside of us, what matters is the part we choose to act on, that's who we really are.” –Sirius Black. Black’s quote can be applied to most of the situations presented to the characters in Hawthorne’s novel, The Scarlett Letter. Many secrets remain held within that truly reveal who the characters are. Nevertheless, there are scenarios in the story that show more than one side to the character. In the book, and just like in many other scenarios, there are two sides to each character, a light side and a darker side. Light and dark imagery, alluding to the larger conflict between good and evil, is present throughout

I left for basic training on July 30, 2008, and arrived in Fort Leonard Wood Missouri on July 31, 2008. Before we entered into our extreme training, we processed into the Army for a whole week at reception. On the day of actual basic training, we realized our great lives changed to instructions all day, miserable feelings, separation from family, and extreme exhaustion. Although, this was our life much more horrifying things were about to happen. We finally realized all the negative feelings we were having seemed to get worse, such as receiving a shark attack from our drill sergeants, we were told
