It’s absolutely important for us to maintain full accountability in the Marine Corps because not only are we under-funded, which makes replacing lost gear a huge hassle, but it instills discipline in our Marines and helps them build a stronger character by maintaining full gear retention at all times. When a Marine keeps full accountability of issued gear, it illustrates to that Marine’s peers that the Marine is squared away. The more squared away the Marine is, the better off he/she will be in garrison and in country. When a Marine shows that he can take care of himself and keep full accountability of his issued gear then that Marine demonstrates the ability to take care of his other Marines as well look out for their well-being. When a Marine keeps full accountability of issued gear, then he/she will have fewer things to worry about and will be able to concentrate more on the mission that needs to be completed.
They kept us safe, sacrificing their lives to save ours. We are a better country for what our veterans, active-duty military, and their families sacrifice—but we do no good if we do not distinguish the continuing strains of war once our service members return home. Our work is not done—and will continue long after all troops come home. But today, we are reminded to never forget why veterans are important to
The assertion is that combat proficiency—a skill—can supersede professionalism—an attitude. This is a false premise. Professionalism is the catalyst to everything Marines do and how well they do it. Let’s not discount attacks on our professionalism, customs, and courtesies and use the current era of combat to justify subordinating professional development in favor of combat proficiency. A Marine who is infused with respect for our customs and
Hunter and Ramsay are both well trained, two of the best people in the navy flied. Hunter was in Harford. But there was so much different in the character, the way they deal with tough circumstances, and the way they deal with other people around them. Ramsey is a captain of the ship, sailed and did many amazing things before with the navy. After serving for big numbers of years in the navy he thought he knows all by heart, and he did not need to follow the saturation and the rules as he book says.
Shame and second-class status were therefore built into the deal, and unsurprisingly led to a reality in which exemplary service members were harassed, investigated and expelled based on evidence as negligible as friendly banter or thoughtless gossip. It is important not only to me, but for everyone to remember that all human beings regardless of race, or sexual orientation have a right to serve in our military with pride and dignity as every human deserves.

In The Lost Battalion, the young officers and men are very dependent on each other. They respect each other and work together in order to survive. I believe the manifest functionality of the US army or any other branch of the military is to protect United States of America. Their purpose is to maintain peace and overcome any nations responsible for aggressive acts that risk the peace and security of United
Senior Chief then stated that while on the surface it seems like the chief is being loyal, he/she is really not. The chief in the scenario is completely undermining loyalty to the ship and the mission which both come before shipmates in the constitutional paradigm. Finally, I would not allow the chief to mark off the jobs because that would sacrifice the safety of the ship and the crew. In the Navy we have an ultimate commitment to the mission and by not properly doing our job, we are not “war fighters in the ready’ and we are not keeping the ship in “fight mode” (ASCS Reynolds). Aristotle defined a virtue as a good habit formed by rationally shaping one’s desires in order to reach a mean between overreaction and under reaction (Prof. Skerker).
In Be, Know, Do: Leadership the Army Way integrity is defined as doing what’s right – legally and morally (Hesselbein and Shinseki 28-29). People with integrity do the right thing not because it’s convenient for them to do so but because their character permits no less. Hayes, although very angry over the interception, should have swallowed his pride and helped opposing player Bauman off the ground and back onto the field. Another value that the army stresses is selfless service which is defined as putting the welfare of the nation, the Army and subordinates before your own (Hesselbein and Shinseki 28-29). Selfless service means not making decisions that hurt the team but help you.
Discipline is a course of actions leading to a goal greater than the satisfaction of the immediate. A disciplined person is one that has established a goal and is willing to achieve that goal at the expense of his or her immediate comfort. A well-disciplined organization is one whose members work with enthusiasm, willingness, and zest as individuals and as a group to fulfill the mission of the organization with expectation of success. Just the simple fact that we are not in a combat zone, or deployment; doesn’t mean we are not doing something good for the NAVY. First, way before we carry out that type of mission we have to be able to do something just a simple as having a belt.
However, at all times I stand ready to accept the fact that I could receive that phone call telling me to pack my bags, I am being deployed. Many people do not understand what soldiers go through both physically and mentally while on serving or how close they come to dying every single day to keep us safe here in America. Therefore, when I hear the word “Hero,” a soldier is the first person that comes to mind. Public Safety personnel are just ad heroic as soldiers, just in a different way. While soldiers protect us outside the United States, public safety personnel protect us inside the United States, in our hometowns.
