Essay on Promotion and Award Ceremonies

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

have so consistently stood by the Marines in theirs times of trial. Performance is what it is all

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

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

You get last place in your tournament. The coach walks up to you looking disappointed and hands you a trophy. You look down at the trophy confused on how you go it and notice that it reads “participation”, but why hand out a trophy if you didn’t really earn it? A popular issue today is whether or not participation trophies should be given out to young athletes. There isn’t a right or wrong answer to this debate, however I believe that it is wrong for these no good trophies to be handed out. Here are some of the reasons on why I believe this.

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

For those of us in the military, this is very important. Treating someone with a blatant disrespect is far worse than simply showing a lack of respect. Not standing at parade rest for an NCO, especially a senior NCO, will frequently get you yelled at for your infraction. Failing to show the proper customs and courtesies to a commissioned offer could easily result in a formal reprimand. Gross misconduct,

Marine Corps customs and courtesies are very important to the way the Marine Corps works. They are intended to reinforce discipline and the chain of command, showing how Marines will treat their superiors. They also enhance esprit de corps and unity. This is what makes the Marine Corps the brotherhood that it has become.

First off i would like to state a well known quote known by all Marines, "Non Commissioned Officers (NCO's) are the backbone of the United States Marine Corps." Without the NCO's the Marine Corps could not function. This quote alone holds a great deal of history as well as gives a brief discription of what a Marine NCO truely is.

Some veterans would return or not accept a medal, such as a purple heart, because they feel like “the ones that lost arms, legs, are brain dead, or even dead, are the ones that deserve it” (Terhune). They have formed groups to properly greet these courageous veterans and treat them the way they should be treated. They all agree that those are the true hero because they are the ones who payed the ultimate price. According to an anonymous Marine “A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America’, for an amount up to and including his life.” This is exactly what these veterans did and they deserve recognition and proper treatment for their bravery. “The secret war was largely unknown until several years ago when the first accounts were published detailing the efforts of the soldiers who fought and died in a mission that the government had refused to acknowledge.”(Reza). This is still a common occurrence happening and all of these soldiers deserve recognition. Although some files are being opened and talked about, there are still sealed files of Veterans that are denied recognition because “they were never there”. Vietnam Veteran, Charles Cross, states ”Until missions were declassified, it was hard to resist the temptation not to talk about these men. The fallen should've been given proper recognition long ago, but, like the good warriors that we were, we kept our mouths

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.

Soldiers can be promoted or moved in advancement by finishing college and then joining. Soldiers can then become a 2nd Lieutenant.For doing brave or heroic actions you could receive a Medal of Valor, or you could get a Medal of Honor.Officers that lead a successful attack can be promoted depending on if they followed directions.
