There is a quote by Benjamin Franklin that reads, ‘time is money.’ In the United States Marine Corps, a loss of time could mean a loss of life. Having no control of your gear and gear accountability can cause a lack of faith and motivation between squads Members , you can get in trouble by the Marine Corps with Page 11 and even NJP’S and most importantly you can cost a life of a fellow Marine if you were in combat .There are many important reasons to be checking your gear constantly to keep proper issued gear accountability as an Infantryman in the United States Marine Corps or any other MOS in the Marine Corps as well. It is the Marines responsibility to always have proper issued gear accountability at all times. Whenever you have a pause through your patrols, raids, or movements the Marines always want to take a quick check to make sure that you have your issued or serialized gear as well as everything else that you or your team of Marines came on that mission with. It is your job to take responsibility and check yourself as well as your other marines to ensure nothing has gone missing.
Regulations are put in place by the Marine Corps to protect its personnel and to essentially protect them from themselves. If there were no rules and regulations in the Marine Corps it would be impossible to be a force in readiness. The mission would not get completed and the Marine Corps would fail. Rules are put in place in the barracks to keep the barracks a suitable place to live and the keep the resident’s safe from outsiders. A staff is put in place to make sure that the barracks is in regulations with Marine Corps order.
They just believe that it is going to enhance their appearance and boost their self esteem. They are not focussing on the effects it will have on them in the future such as eye damage, pre mature aging as well as a variety of different skin cancers that are caused from the use of artificial tanning beds.

Instead, the salon workers are promoting “safe tanning” by informing them of not burning and the importance of wearing eye protection. Safe tanning should be no tanning at all due to the fact that there is no such thing as safe tanning.
The first amendment says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech…” (Bill of Rights). Freedom of speech is a good example of the limitations we have as US citizens because we are not permitted to use that amendment if it affects public safety. For example, we are not allowed to say that we have a bomb in an airplane when it is not true. As long as it does not provoke any other consequences in other people we can use the first amendment. The second amendment works the same way; we have the right to have a gun as long as it does not interfere with public safety,

It’s not like anyone is getting hurt by letting people be happy. This is the United States everyone is supposed to have the same rights. “Gay and lesbian rights are not ‘special rights’ in any way. It isn’t ‘special’ to be free from discrimination - it is an ordinary, universal entitlement of citizenship.” (Bond) But clearly that isn’t how it is anymore. "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions.
