As a Marine I have been trained to accomplish the mission; that has always been the hallmark for Marines. From the yellow footprints at boot camp, to becoming a senior leader; mission accomplishment has always been the single most important thing early on. But as I matured and came across some good leaders, I was enlightened. I then learned that the commander’s intent, the purpose, was more important than all of the tasks assigned. The situation will always change; but understanding the commander’s

During my time in the military there were many accounts of ethical and unethical decision making. When in uniform we are often forced to make quick decisions to get the job done. Like many organizations we also have our own code of ethics, morals and principles that we follow. The problem with this is that in times of need we often can make decisions that were unethical but got the task completed. We also must factor in the many differing opinions on what is ethical and what is not. One of the

There is a lurking ethical issue that is facing contemporary society and that has already started to affect the military, but has the potential to grow even more monstrous. Online privacy or internet privacy is the root of this issue and “following the revelations of widespread data collection by the United States government, among others, the public has to decide whether to push for legislation that would safeguard their online privacy, and which criteria, if any, should first be met by government

The Marines is a military branch of the United States Armed Forces that assists army and naval forces at sea, in air, and on land. About 38,000 new recruits are accepted into the Marine Corps and trained each year. There is also approximately 182,000 active members and over 38,000 reserves. Before new recruits officially swear into the Marines they will process in at one of the 65 MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Stations). MEPS is a Department of Defense joint-service organization staffed

The United States Marine Corps plays a vital role in most wars and uses their strategies to ensure victory. Mox said, “Oh, wow! That this is real; it’s not a game. And we’re gonna have to watch out back sides and take care of everybody. After you’d been there awhile, there was many times. At least there was a sense that it was the enemy. If one of your own guys got hit – and that was the sad part about it. I liked the way the Marine Corps did the training, because it was more of a close knit team

DEFENDING CLOSE ORDER DRILL One of the oldest traditions that exist in the Marine Corps is close order drill. There are many that believe drill should be completely removed from the Marine Corps. Though it no longer serves a purpose in combat it is the cornerstone that every Marine is built off of from the very first day at recruit training. If the Marine Corps removed closer order drills it would be a grave mistake. Close order drill has a rich history in the Marine Corps, while instilling

Marine Corps Leadership 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

Most or all of my reasons for joining the Marines are as follows. Ideal- The Marines Embody more of my personal views and ideals then the other branches of the armed services. Loyalty, I respect and love the idea of loyalty to a person or persons...or a cause. To be totally loyal to something without question but to also love and honor that something, that idea is something I long for and adore. Which leads me to Honor as well. I have, since I discovered it in middle school I believe, always

Senior enlisted leaders were asked to come up with solutions to stop suicide in the Marine Corps. I am going to talk about three topics that I feel are the best solutions to suicide; (1) All hands responsibility, (2) Spiritual guidance, (3) Mental ship awareness program. Suicide is all hands responsibility because Marines are one family that strive to do their best for the best interest of the institution. Marines care for one another and the moment someone takes their life, it has a great impact
