sustaining the transformation

I try my best to be honest and keep my integrity no matter the consequence because as we know bad news does not age well with time, it gets worse. Enthusiasm is a great thing as well, no matter how hard things get if you have enthusiasm and a positive attitude you can pretty much over come anything that is thrown at you, and it’s also contagious even if you have to fake it, it will bring up the moral of your marines and they will in turn motivate you so it no longer is a fake motivation it’s a reality. Baring is important in ways. I don’t really have much to say on it because there isn’t much to it and I personally think it’s not something that is dire to have 100% down pat I guess. I mean yes it’s good to be able to have when the time comes but I guess I don’t find it that important. Next would be unselfishness. It’s a great this when you have junior marines, it shows them that you care about them and that you are willing to bend over backwards for them in they are in need. It makes it easy on the junior marines to approach their leader when they should. Courage is a also a great thing to have its like I said in enthusiasm if you show courage to stand up for what is right and what should be done other will follow and you will make a good name for yourself rather than your name be dragged through the dirt for the not so courageous actions. Knowledge is always a good thing to have for any marine not just

This reading is about how the U.S. Marine’s socialize their recruits. How the socialization techniques of the Marine’s are compared to the socialization techniques that have brought me to my current place in life. Also tells why the socialization techniques of the Marine Corps. is so effective. Society as a whole could learn from using trust... Without trust the Marine’s would not be as efficient.

I would like to share with you some of my experiences. I joined the military in 1996, after high school and I went directly to Marine boot camp. There I learned some of my most important personal values such as pride, perseverance, team work, and attention to detail. Marine Corps boot camp is an experience like no other I have had in the world and one I am immensely proud to have. I rose in the ranks quickly, I started as

For the past twenty years, I have been part of an influential organization; the USMC. My years of service have allowed me to learn from leaders and peers, alike, who took time to teach skill

The moment I strolled into the Marine Corps recruiting office was the first time I experienced conformity without any reluctance. Which turned out to be absolutely shocking since I spent my teen years doing the opposite of what was expected from me. I understood by joining the military, I would need to conform my expectations and beliefs in order to successfully enter and exit the Corps.

The non-fiction novel Making the Corps follows sixty-three boys into one of the harshest boot camps in the world, Parris Island, South Carolina; furthermore, it also gives a brief history of the Marines while explaining their role in the United States military. The book was written by “…The Washington Post’s senior Pentagon correspondent,” as well as a member of two Pulitzer Prize winning teams—for national reporting—Thomas E. Ricks (Ricks cover). Not all of the recruits made it to the end of the eleven week long “living hell;” however, the ones that did successfully earned the title, “marine.” Thomas E. Ricks narrates the true stories of the diverse men in platoon 3086 who prevailed the harsh Marine Corps training and moved on to deployment

On the 7th of October 2014, I interviewed Mr. Johnson, the owner of Island House Restaurant & Marina in Wachapreague, Virginia, who served 13 years in the United States Special Warfare Teams, also known as the United States Navy Seals. Graduating from High-School Mr. Johnson attended North Dakota State University where he planned to study Pharmacy. But by his second semester, he decided to no longer study Pharmacy, due to financial reasons and accumulating student debt, and join the United States Navy in his fall semester of his sophomore year. He later achieved a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Education.

In the Bible it says that the greatest act of love is to lay down one’s life for one’s friend, but most people would never have the courage to do so. “The few, the proud”, the United States Marine Corps, sacrifice themselves for their country each and every day. They give up their peace, prosperity, the people and possessions they love, so the rest of the world doesn’t have to feel the loss that they do. Because the Marine Corps is such an important part of our military, Americans should understand its inception, its integration and introduction of women, its symbolic uniforms, its perilous boot camp, its ranks, its achievements, and its terms.

Since the birth of our nation, the steady performance of the Marine Corps in fighting America’s battles has made it the very symbol of military excellence. The Corps has come to be recognized worldwide as elite fighting forces, renowned for their physical endurance, for their high level of obedience, and for their fierce pride they take in, as individuals, in the capacity for self- discipline. The reasons for their high repute however go much deeper.” – Clare Booth Luce

Since July 4th, 1776, the United States have been a formidable foe on the battlefield. Taking on forces at home, and abroad, the United States emerges victorious time, and time again. This is not attributed to one person alone. This strength can be attributed to the brave souls of the United States military. We have the Army, and Airforce. Yet, there is one branch that sets itself apart from them both. One that emerged out of the womb of the Navy. That branch, is the United States Marines. From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli, the Marines have been there and conquered it. Though, The Marine Corps was not always known as the tough band of guns the United States had. Like all things, the Marines had a beginning. And quite a beginning it was. This is the story of how the United States Marines changed, and grew over the years.

Noncommissioned Officers are the backbone of the Marine Corps. Each leader is vastly 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 mature into Marines who 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; they get to know their Marines; and they adhere to a sound leadership style. This paper will discuss the story of Dakota L. Meyer, who received the Medal of Honor for his actions as a Corporal of Marines during

            Joining the United States Marine Corps is one of the most important decisions someone may make in their entire life. Although becoming a United States Marine is not easy. The first steps are often the most difficult, but once you set your mind to do what your heart desires the process becomes a lot easier. The transformation from a typical civilian to a Marine soldier is remarkable. Only one who decides to take the challenge knows the wonderful feeling of their accomplishment in the end.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen Robert B. Neller, recommended this book to me. This book lived up to my expectations because the author had made a valid point. If people would follow simple instruction without asking a hundred questions, tasks would get done faster. This book did not teach me any new lessons. The part I found most

The United States Marine Corps is a frequently misunderstood, occasionally maligned but more frequently mythologized division of the U.S. Armed Forces. Sometimes its role is perceived as overlapping the roles and responsibilities of its military counterparts such as the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force. However, as the exhaustive text by Victor Krulak shows, it is far more often seen as enhancing, focusing and insuring the roles and responsibilities. As the original pressing of Krulak's text was completed in 1984, a great many of the sentiments that permeate First in Fight: An Inside View of the U.S. Marine Corps carry pointedly Cold War-related messages and imperatives. However, an open-minded consideration of the text demonstrates a particular relevance for the servicemen and women of today's U.S. Marine Corps.
