Accountability, Importance of Following an Order, and Being on Time at Your Appointed Place of Duty By Cpl Brendan R. Murphy In this essay I Brendan Murphy will be discussing the topics of accountability, importance of following an order, and being on time at your appointed place of duty. I am going to describe each of these topics to explain the importance of each of these subjects. Each one of these subjects is very important in the military and civilian world. Now accountability is very important in the military work place. As you get higher through the ranks you should always know where your marines are at all times, because not knowing where your marines is the vital you’re accomplishing your mission.
Pfc or perfect for cleaning as some would say. i was once told that all a pfc has to do is clean, learn his job, and exersise. so i better do that to the best of my ability bc if i cant even do those things right that i better go back to boot camp. lcpl does have very many responsibilities either but they look after the pfc since they have been around a little bit long and are more experienced. next we have non-commissioned officers its said that they are the backbone of the marine corp. theres cpls and sgts, sgts tell cpls what to do and cpls get all the lcpls and below to do what needs to get done while suporvising to make sure everything goes right.
Obedience to orders also shows respect to the individual that gave you the order. In my opinion there is no limit to the consequences that can happen when a Marine does not follow the instructions given to him/her. Failure to obey an order or regulation can result an infraction to article 92 in the UCMJ, and can be punished severely. Article 92 is to me one of the most important article because it lays down ground law. Whatever the order that is given it should be executed with the best of your ability, because it helps strenthen the unit , where the work is spread out and everyone works together so the job gets done quickly.
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
Another thing with hard engineering, going back to the costs is that not all of the countries in the world can afford to have hard engineering management strategies. An example of a place in the world that would benefit from hard engineering strategies but cannot afford it is Bangladesh. The environment is also at risk when hard engineering strategies are used because it can disturb the ecology of the area that it is built in for example fish and animals may be killed because the hard engineering has destroyed their habitat. Some people say that the disadvantages of hard engineering out weigh the advantages but some think the opposite. The main advantages of hard engineering are that for one: they last a very long time and if built well sometimes even for hundreds of years.
We train all our firefighters to be adapt at taking control of a life or death situation and stay calm against all odds. Obviously this is one of the most important things that I bring to the table as a Firefighter. ii. You people need a levelheaded leader that can adapt to any and all situations no matter how stressful and make informed and well thought out decisions that could mean life or death for many people. 2.
It is your job to take responsibility and check yourself as well as your other marines to ensure nothing has gone missing. Proper issued gear accountability can range from the most important pieces of Marine Corps issued gear such as your rifle all the way down to your tourniquet. You always want to have serialized issued gear such as your night vision goggles dummy corded to your body. In doing so your issued gear that can be dummy corded is dummy corded to you, you will have a lot less chance to loose any of your gear or anything else you are carrying with you. In case that a Marine is moving or running, even if your issued gear comes absent from the pouch or pocket you are carrying them in they will not come completely off your body.
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.
Both characters are guilty of focalism which leads to an escalation of conflict and poor decision making. The captain's focalism is deeply rooted in overconfidence bias. Bazerman explains overconfidence bias as "too sure that we know the right answer, we become impervious to new evidence or alternate perspectives" (37). In the original message, the captain was given orders that he plans to follow; therefore, he searches for confirming rather than disconfirming evidence as to the actions he should take. He has more experience than the executive officer, so when questioned by the X-O he replies "I don't need to think this over."
It gives us the attention to detail we need to take with us to combat so we can spot IED’s or whatever else the enemy throws at us. If a marine looks at every detail in his/her uniform, they will most likely look at every detail in a combat environment also. If we don’t have that attention to detail that we need I could get myself killed or get other marines to the left and right of me killed because of that pressure plate I didn’t see so I stepped on it. Marines are inspected on their uniforms frequently to make sure that we are keeping our uniforms ready and squared away at all times. The attention to detail must be perfect to make sure our uniform is
