Organizational Behavior: The United States Marine Corps

In contrast, the Marines had a much different mentality going into the war. The Marines were the United States’s specialized force that according to Jim Lehrer were the best bart of the United States’ forces. On page seventy one Lehrer says that “Marines never leave their dead and wounded behind, officers always eat last, the U.S. army is chickenshit in combat, the Navy is worse, and the Air Force is barely even on our side”(Bradley 71). He says this is the special Marine warrior pride, which is much

Jeff Schogal once referred to the Marine Corps as, “The Few, the Proud, the Marines,” I hope to become part of the few, the proud, and the marines. The Marines Corps, a military branch will train me to be mentally and physically fit, and will prepare me to a better man, and it will teach me to be a technologist.

The USMC is the most advanced military fighting force on the planet. Most think the marines are just hardened killers but that’s not entirely true. First and foremost a marine is a rifleman. Every marine regardless of their job is taught to be proficient with the standard issue rifle. Marines are more than that, a select few get to go to special operations schools. In those schools marines learn exceptional skills, skills such as how to defuse multiple bombs in a very tense firefight. Still the marines are more than the skills they learn. They are true hero’s some even call them angels of death. They become like this in a place called Paris Island. Paris Island is where men become marines. When you first arrive at the island you are not called a marine yet. All drill sergeants label the recruits whatever they wish but they have not earned the title of marine. Basic training is a 12 week course of hell on earth. The course is broken up into 3 phases. Phase one is to break the recruits of their civilian habits. This is where most cannot do it, but it is too late to back out now they are in commitment. After phase one comes phase two. This is where recruits get field training and learn how to use and care for a rifle. Lastly phase three this is where recruits regurgitate all they learned, this last phase is the end of the most difficult training basic has to offer. Once boot camp is completed the marines move off to their respective schools or jobs, for more training or

Once a Marine always a Marine. Growing up I had many success stories around me. It was very inspirational and this set the example for my future. Now it is my time to carry on the legacy. Having the support that I receive from my parents and family is important, especially when I am away from them for long periods. Sometimes it is hard to understand how important family is on one’s achievements. However, when you do not have them on a daily basis, it is hard not to realize this impact.

The Marine Corps is the' rapid-reaction force of the USA. They can fight by the sea as well as land. They are usually the first "boots on the ground."

The United States Marine Corps have many jobs to protect and serve the United States. Some of the ways a Marine serves the United States is by protecting naval bases, guarding U.S. embassies, and providing a quick strike force to protect U.S. interests (“Answers to the Top Marine Corps Questions”). Being a Marine that serves and protects the United States comes with many benefits. “A career as a Marine rewards you with a salary, benefits, incentives and bonuses, not to mention automatic annual pay raises” (“Marine Corps Benefits”). The benefits that come with being a United States Marine Corps are educational funding, healthcare, and benefits for the Marine’s family.

The naval actions of the Revolution to the mountains of Afghanistan, the Marines have served valiantly in every one of our nation’s conflicts. For hundreds of years, Marines have fought, lived and died with honor, continuing the Marine Corps legacy of service to our nation. Every Marine, past and presents, his earned their place within this proud culture of traditions, symbols and valves. On November 10, 1775 two Battalions of Continental Marines were born in Philadelphia, PA. They were formed as a branch of infantry troops that were able to fight on both sea and on the shore. Since then the role of Marines has grown and evolved, expanding to aerial and warfare. They earned the titles of American’s third Air Force and the Second Land Army. The Marines have served in the majority of American wars and armed conflicts. I served in the Marines for eight years, and the experiences and knowledge you get is nothing like you have every got. Joining the Marines is a long process, and there are a lot of steps to take before one can call himself a United States Marine. Marines a highly exclusive, highly motivated bunch. Those who become Marines do so because they want to, not because of the benefits or other reasons. Here are the steps of joining the Marines. Is becoming a Marine right for you. You need to decide if you’re truly ready, you need to choose the right path for you, you need to meet with a recruiter, and ace the ASVAB (Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery), process in

The topic I have chosen for this project is the United States Marine Corps. The Marine Corps is one of five US military branches and is known for its force on land, air, and sea. Everyone must have seen the commercials by now showing marines doing hardcore activities and ending with the famous “ The Few, The Proud, The Marines.” My reasons for wanting this career path have been driven by self ambitious and dream. I have a strong sense have pride and want to serve my country as it has served me for the past 17 years of my life. Marine-Corps-Logo.jpg

Those quick strokes of light in the night sky represent opportunities—blink and they’re forever gone into the abyss. Some fly by in the peripherals without fanfare, others lock on and demand time. Looking back, the Marine Corps was one of the brightest and most challenging opportunities I have had. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without the experience.

Why I want to be a Marine? There are many people in this world. Only a few go beyond the call of duty. When i think about what i want to do with my life all i can think of is I want to do something that matters.

Marines are constantly being tested physically and mentally in their line of they must be prepared for any situation any scenario which is why they train so much and something that has been constantly drilled into they're head since day one is to train as if it were the real thing or always pay attention to the little details, never get complacent therefore it's important for every marine to train like it's game day to build that muscle memory so it's instilled into their brains for example when training on a field operation it is vital that the marine always has his weapon on him everywhere he goes no matter when or where that marine is going this is a way to build that muscle memory so that marine knows to always have that weapon to defend

Many people do not understand the hard work and dedication that it takes to be in something as great as the United States Marine Corps. The Marines are the most disciplined fighting force in the US. The discipline and hard work that I have put forth and will have to continue to put forth is probably harder than most any normal person will do in their lives. Knowing this causes me to have great pride in what I am doing and gives me that much more motivation to get up at five o 'clock in the morning to go PT. I think the best way to try to explain the Marine Corps to someone is for them to read this quote.

First to Fight by Lieutenant General Victor H. Krulak is where the history, reputation, and truth about the United States Marine Corps meet. Within this 252-page book you will find a combination of historical fact, interesting background, and personal recollection from one of the men who helped shape what the Marines are today.

The United States Marine corps is America’s number one force for many reasons; our ability to protect the nation, the self-sacrifice we have endured, and our integrity.

The U.S. Ma-rine Corps are the top branch in the U.S. military. Marines are the most elite and educated in the world (Kennedy 4). “A willingness to sacrifice one’s life for a larger purpose indi-cates an impressive degree of selflessness” (Scarborough 4). The U.S. Marine Corps is to be prepared by land and sea mis-sions. Marines can also be an Honor Guard. Honor Guards are marines who attend any presidential meting or ceremony Kennedy 8).
