...The United States Marine Corps is known as the world’s best fighting force. To be more specific, the Marine Corps is an expeditionary force. They are designed to be capable of assaulting foreign shores and establishing a beachhead.1 The Marine Corps is highly centered on the man on the ground, meaning every role in the Marine Corps exists to support the infantry. Over the entire course of the Marine’s illustrious history, their main operational goal has changed little, but the way they carry out those operational goals has changed in numerous ways designed to make the Marine Corps a more effective fighting force. It can be argued that the largest innovation in the way that the Marine Corps wages w ar is the development of Marine Corps aviation....

...The CCC, or Civilian Conservational Corps were vital to the revival of the Floridian economy. The purpose of the CCC was to provide jobs for many of the unemployed young men in Florida. By providing the labor to the younger men in the state, it increased the cash flow. The provision of these jobs helped stimulate the economy and get it back on its feet. This also decreased the crime rate because the less young men with ample time of their hands, the lower crime rate would be, and this was achieved after the CCC was created. The major function was providing labor to the unemployed, in the form of physical labor. The CCC was an organization which restored the environment of Florida by having thousands of workers plant trees and shrubbery....

...Is the Civilian Conservation Corp a Viable Solution in the United States Today? The Civilian Conservation Corp, or CCC, would be a viable addition to the United States National Park Service in the present time. The CCC program implementation would enable the U.S. population an area of employment or volunteerism for the betterment of the country’s national parks. Present technology in the United States could also be used to go beyond what was the original intention of former President Franklin D. Roosevelt with the inception of the original Civilian Conservation Corp. A modernized implementation of the original Civilian Conservation Corp would not only offer employment for the young people of the country but would also instill in the younger generation a sense of what the country has to offer in its natural resources and physical attributes. Many young people in the United States could do a tour or assignment prior to enrolling in a higher form of education after graduating from high school. This program could in fact be an almost stepping stone to further the younger generation of living on their own and helping to foster and create a type of career awareness that many of them lack. The original Civilian Conservation Corp was offered to young unmarried men between the ages of 18-25 years. The CCC provided unskilled labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in lands owned by federal, state, and local governments. The CCC provided...

...At times, history and policy change meet at a single time in a single place to shape the Marine Corp’s unending pursuit for equality. So it was at in 1868 when Brigadier General Jacob Zeilin adopted the Eagle Globe and gave the Corps a unifying symbol. So it was nearly a century ago when females where included into the ranks of our illustrious Corps. So it should be soon, the Marine Corps reverse its course, and enables Marines with tattoos that are grandfathered to enjoy the privilege to serve in the officer ranks. Implementation of a revised policy for these Marines will serve the Marine Corps well moving forward with both recruiting and retention. 2. DISCUSSION Marines that enlisted with tattoos prior to the announcement of this MARADMIN that have done the right thing and had their tattoos grandfathered should be allowed to participate in all the opportunities as they were before the release of the MARADMIN. It is a sad reality for many to have a policy change that alienates a selected group for their appearance when they were enlisted with tattoos. Marines should be evaluated based on merit coupled with accomplishments in their respective career. There should be a 6105 entered into the Marine’s OMPF that requires them to only wear the service “B” uniform to obscure the “unsightly” tattoo....

...Informational Privacy in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Sgt Karen A Holliday, USMC Trident University International In my honest opinion the thought of informational privacy within the military is a sort of oxymoron. Although huge strides have been taken to put in place more secure methods of information storage, the military lags far behind their civilian counterparts in this department. There are many policies under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) in regards to the informational privacy protection of service members. The problem is not in the policy, it is in the enforcement and adherence to these policies. When asked to write on this issue, there is one instance of complete disregard to informational privacy that stood out in my mind. About a year ago, I was attending annual training in the Marine Corps. We were all in a theatre and the Staff Sergeant in charge passed around a roster for us to sign in order to receive credit for the class we were about to receive. I looked at the roster and was horrified. It was a roster of the entire battalion, 1000 or so Marines, with their names and COMPLETE social security numbers (SSN’s) on it. I brought it to the attention to the Staff Sergeant (SSgt) and he said he would change it for the following days training. The FOLLOWING DAY! I, being a Cpl at the time, and the lower ranking said, “SSgt this isn’t something that can wait a day”. I was ignored and the days training went on as scheduled. ...

...History of the Marine NCO: Sergeant Matej Kocak During World War I, Marines served an essential role, and with a vast supply of Noncommissioned Officers with experience, they distinguished themselves on the battlefields of France. In this Essay I would like to explain how one of the many Marine Non Commissioned officers that participated in the battles in France demonstrated extraordinary heroism and exceptional leadership by way of using “The Marine Corps Leadership Traits”. The top three that I thought he showed most that I would like to present were Endurance, Courage, and Initiative. In 1916, eight years after his first enlistment in the Marine Corps he found himself ashore in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where he participated in skirmishes with native bandits in Las Canitas, Azua Province, Dominican Republic. He then showed his endurance in 1917 by again deploying to fight a battle, only this time at St. Nazaire, France. The following year, 1918, he was promoted to Sergeant and then took part in the attack against the enemy in Bois De Belleau Bouresches sector northwest of Chateau Thierry, France. On July 18, 1918, he participated in the attack at Villers Cotteret Wood south of Soissons, France, and it was on this day he performed the act of heroism for which he was posthumously awarded both the Army and Navy Medal of Honor. Sergeant Matej Kocak showed substantial courage on July 18, 1918, when his battalion came under fire by a hidden machine-gun nest. By...

...JROTC is a government funded program present in high schools. The JROTC program offers great opportunities to assist high school students in building their educational attainment and career achievement. The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, better known as JROTC is a youth development program for high school students implemented by the Department of Defense. JROTC delivers a character and leadership improvement curriculum to high school students enrolled in the program, which are known as cadets. Since JROTC is supervised and guided by retired members of the armed forces many people are of the mistaken opinion that JROTC is a program to convince students into enlisting in the military. The fact is that less than 30% of students in the program enlist in the military. The main purpose of the JROTC program is to inspire students to obtain the value of citizenship, service to our country, personal responsibility, and a sense...

...Unit 1 – AO1 – Investigate the roles and responsibilities of two contrasting public services and describe their purpose AO2 – Investigate the internal structure and functional areas for two chosen public services The two public services I am going to speak about are the prison service and the army. The reason is because both have a very important part of the keeping Britain safe. The prisons vision is to provide the very best prison service as possible and to help secure the following points. * Hold prisoners securely and safely * Reduce the risk of any prisoners from re-offending * Providing safe and well-ordered establishments in which we treat prisoners humanely, decently and lawfully To make sure the prison service actually completes their objectives they work in * close partnership with our commissioners and others in the Criminal Justice System to achieve common objectives * Obtain best value from the resources available using research to ensure effective correctional practice * Promote diversity, equality of opportunity and combat unlawful discrimination, and * Ensure our staff have the right leadership, organisation, support and preparation to carry out their work effectively. This is what the prison set out to achieve and how they plan to do it but there is a lot more involved in running a successful prison because a prison is a business. The prison has it goals but the prison needs top security to complete the goals. No...
