Those two traits are nonexistent without the proper and precise application of positive reinforcement. Paying Marines the appropriate acknowledgements breeds morale, which has a direct affect on retention and overall mission accomplishment. America’s servicemen and women, at the very least, deserve an intangible debt of gratitude. Absent this, and any other positive reinforcement, and Marines might as well go and negotiate the formidable battlefields of civilian
There was also an additional day of training in which more emphasis was placed on the seriousness of the issue. This move from commanders gives us the impression that they want the best for all. Conclusion As the number show, the military has not solved this issue within the ranks. Reoccurring training can help but being vigilant and a good wingman will reinforce these standards. These numbers need to be reduced to keep quality of life at a high state and makes the workplace safe for all.
Rules and Regulations in the Barracks A regulation is a rule or directive made and maintained by an authority. They are put in place to keep people safe and to maintain peace. If they weren’t any rules and regulations and punishment for not obeying them then people would do whatever they want and the world would be chaos. Society would not be able to function. Regulations are put in place by the Marine Corps to protect its personnel and to essentially protect them from themselves.
In this article by Mrs. Deluca she mentioned that combat soldiers are trained to “toughing it out”, whatever the problem is. They are trained not to show any signs of “weakness” because in some cases it is frowned upon. Combat war veterans at times will tend to judge themselves as being weak because the condition makes them feel weak. Mrs. Deluca also explains that to tough it out is a skill that is necessary when it comes to a combat situation. The reason is because soldiers see it as skills that work and that have made it possible for them to come home alive from war.
Another big takeaway was that despite the brutality and emotions of combat, a leader must remain calm, see the big picture, and anticipate the “next steps” for his unit and the enemy. Tom Hiebert: We Were Soldiers was published just as I was getting ready to take command. The timeless value of the book then, as it remains to me to this day, is in demonstrating to young leaders the value of setting and maintaining standards and discipline in training as these translate directly to success in combat. Also, LTG Moore compares and contrasts the effects in combat of good solid leadership (and, again, standards and discipline) with the lack thereof in the second part of his book concerning the exploits of McDade and 2-7 Cavalry at LZ [landing zone] Albany. I tried to carry these lessons with me everywhere as a company commander.
D1 Authoritarian: Some ways this style of leadership is effective, but sometimes it can have the opposite effect. Because this style of leadership is very to the point and it has positive factors such as the team members have no choice but to do as they as told and get on with their job, and this style of leadership will make sure they are always on task so in that way this style is effective because it gets the job done. However it could have the opposite effect, and team members choosing not to do the task set because they do not like being ordered to do something and they expected to obey every time. For example the Army would use this style of leadership the most because they are very strict on behaviour and when a task has been set
These reports need to be done in a timely manner and to be recorded properly for the months. Since being at Fort Carson I have seen the accident counter involving deaths and DUI’s at gate 4. I was always curious why they did that, aren’t we supposed to morn those who weren’t wise enough to stop or wise enough to call a cab? No, now I believe that the statistic is more important than the person the soldier and their lives to a point. That Statistic at that gate is trying to push soldiers into doing the right thing, to remember/remind us all that there are consequences to our actions.
and a 2141 my job of keeping an AAV up and running is the most crucial part of Tracking. A mechanic can operate an AAV yes but if a mech doesn't keep his vehicles in working order then an 1833 can't do his job. i beleive i have what it takes to take my skills and pass them down to the upcoming mechanics that will be under me in the future. I have had a bad past especially in my current platoon. I've lied about things that i stongly regret and have had the reprecussions for.
Krulak has opened my eyes to parts of our illustrious Marine Corps history that other wise I feel that I would have never known about. Through it ive come to respect the marines of the past even more because the Marine Corps as I know it today is built on their blood, sweat, and tears. The fact that on numerous occasions the people have wanted to integrate us with the other services but we continued to set ourselves apart in such a way we showed the nation that the needed us. This makes me that much more proud to be one of the few and the
PAD 515 Week 3 Discussion Carver is missing some very basic values and attitudes. He is missing being considerate, respectful, fair, cooperativeness. The changes that Carver needs to make are numerous. The changes will be difficult for him to sustain, as they are not his “style”, but change can be achieved, as with anything, if he works on his values and attitudes. It will more than likely take his subordinates and co-workers even longer to trust that he has changed and that he will adhere to his new found values and attitudes.
