The United States of America has not always been the world superpower that it is today. The same goes for its Navy. In the first several years of existence, the United States Navy was not a formidable fighting force. The young nation was hesitant to invest in a navy for many reasons, one of them being to prevent provoking the world powers of the time, France and Britain. On top of that, navies were very expensive to build and required a significant amount of resources to maintain, which the U.S. did not have at the time. To say that the United States Navy was ill prepared for war would be a dramatic understatement. The U.S. had a total of fifteen ships in its entire naval fleet compared to the might of the Royal Navy which possessed over six hundred warships. Even with the odds stacked against the U.S., President Madison declared war on 18 JUN 1812. The lack of size and power of the navy at the time would make it extremely difficult to satisfy the needs of the newly founded nation.

Selfishness, overblown sense of worth, and indecisiveness are certain traits that seem to appear more frequently in today’s leadership due to an ineffectual advancement process.

Certain aspects of these rolls and processes need to be changed to more accurately reflect those qualities that are required to be an effective leader in today’s Navy.

Once a person dedicates their life to something, everything unknowingly changes. Becoming a marine was more than just a career for Sledge. Sledge definitely changed from the time he went to boot camp until the end of his combat experience in Okinawa. E.B.’s nickname was “Sledgehammer”, it didn’t particularly match his physical appearance though.

Even though his family had begged him to stay in college as long as possible and avoid the dangers of the war scene, he had not only decided to join the Marines, but when he was put into officer training, he intentionally flunked out in order to enlist as a private. His goal was to see combat before the war was over. Sledge begins his memoir admitting, like many men of the other men joining him that he was "prompted by a deep feeling of uneasiness that the war might be over before [he] could get overseas into combat..."(5) so he joined the Marines. This shows that he was a little hesitant about the whole ordeal. Sledge described his feelings as being anxious and on the edge. The book 's most evident theme is the feeling of being of a Marine, what Sledge calls "esprit de corps."
