I just finished two years of command. I feel a variety of emotions: happiness, sadness, joy, and pain. Looking back, my time in command was very enjoyable, and very challenging. I learned many valuable lessons while in command. I'll share a few of them with. #1 The Speed of the Boss is the Speed of the Team I quickly learned that the leader's personality becomes the organization's personality. If you take initiative and are pro-active, your subordinates leaders will do the same. On the contrary, if you do nothing, your followers will do nothing too. #2 Command Will Take as Much Time as You Give It As a part-time commander, you will put in extra hours outside of drill weekend. You can put in 5 hours...

Successful company commanders share many similar traits. I'll cover a few of the more common traits below: #1 Confident A leader must act confident.

If you are confident, your soldiers will be confident. #2 Technically Proficient As the leader of the team, you must be technically proficient. In other words, you must be thoroughly trained on individual and collective tasks. You must be able to perform any task your soldiers do; especially the common warrior tasks. #3 Decision Maker Leaders get paid to make decisions. Anyone can make a decision, but company commanders...

As a company commander, one of your requirements is to establish a unit Family Readiness Group (FRG). The purpose of the FRG is to provide a support channel for spouses and family members; especially during a deployment. Also known as the FRG, the Family Readiness Group normally has monthly or quarterly meetings. At the meetings, the spouses get together to share information, answer questions and conduct fundraisers. Whether your unit is scheduled for deployment or not, it's important to have a unit FRG. Typically the commander's or First Sergeant's spouse serves as the FRG leader. However, there are many exceptions to this rule. The true secret to success is to find a spouse or family member who...

The unit Supply Sergeant has a vital role in the success of his or her company commander. The primary duties and responsibilities of a Supply NCO include: inventories, property accountability, turn-in of unneeded equipment, Organizational Clothing & Individual Equipment, managing the property book and so much more.

Here are some things I found helpful for me, during my time in company command. 1) Conduct Initial Counseling: Even though you are not the Supply NCO's direct supervisor, you should conduct an initial counseling with them, outlining your performance expectations. 2) Participate in Inventories: As the company...

Even out here in Idaho we heard that the Army is developing a powerful gum that will scrub the teeth of our GIs while they are blasting away at insurgents. It's true! It's true! GIs can't always find their toothbrush and they never have any toothpaste. (Let's see, I was cleaning my rifle with it yesterday...) Anyway, that's how it was in Korea. If you wanted toothpaste or a new toothbrush in Korea you had to wait until the Red Cross sent it to you. I don't remember finding it in the supply tent. A couple of times the Red Cross sent us some supplies that might (or might not) include dental stuff. However, you could often get a corncob pipe. The dental service was great in Korea too. The dentists were...

- Step 1 First thing is to realize what you will be doing everyday so you know what muscles to focus on. You will be marching everywhere you go, sometimes with packs, you will be running at least three times a week, you will be quarterdecked (or intensively trained) an unexpected amount of times (ask your recruiter what an IT session is...he'll show you!) Ask yourself what your weaknesses are. Pull ups/Flexed arm hang? Crunches, core body, or muscles? Running? Hiking with a pack? What are your weak muscles? You can modify the training program to better suit you but the following is just a sample of how I trained for boot camp. This regiment should be following a minimum of 8 weeks from your ship...

The night is dark; a deep, bone-chilling darkness without a single star, no moonlight, no lights outside the windows. It's June 21, 1988, somewhere around 2:30 AM and you've been traveling since noon the day before. You've been on 'em all: planes, trains, automobiles-and now a bus-a BIG bus. The biggest bus you've ever seen in your short 17 years of life. This is the farthest you've ever been from home-the farthest you've ever been alone. But you ain't scared; you're a teenager! You know it all and you've got something to prove-to yourself and to the world. The bus glides to a stop; the airbrakes "hisssssss"; then silence; a silence so profound that you can actually feel it. The only sound you hear...

Prior to taking company command, I visited the local PX to find some helpful resources about company command. As I scanned the bookshelf at the PX, I noticed a catchy, reddish colored book with Captain's bars on it. The title said: "Company Command: The Bottom Line" by MG (ret) John Meyer.

It was well written, easy to understand and organized in a logical manner. MG Meyer covered the basics such as UCMJ actions, supply, administration, maintenance, physical fitness, the company commander (CO) and first sergeant relationship, discipline and much...

Here are four questions for you: 1. Do you find it challenging to answer the question, "What's your Unique Selling Position (USP)?" 2. Do you talk about the features of your product or service verses addressing the benefits by answering (before they ask) "So what's so good about that?" 3. Do you discount your actions or accomplishments with statements like, "Oh that, it was nothing"? 4. Do you believe it is vanity to think you are something special - that you have a talent or gift unique to you and no one else can do exactly what you do? If you answered yes to any one of those questions - keep reading. In business it's important to highlight those things that set you apart from others in your...

The United States Marine Corps is an avid fan of technological breakthroughs and acquiring their new V-22 Osprey is just one indicator that this character is still burning strong. V-22 Osprey belongs to the latest generation of VSTOL (vertical short takeoff and landing) aircrafts. Its tilt/rotor technology is a pioneer in military aviation. The VSTOL designation means that an Osprey has turboshaft engines mounted on the very ends f the forward wings, allowing it to fly like a conventional prop forward aircraft but can also do a 90-degree swivel to land and hover like a helicopter. This means greater flexibility for commanders in battlefields. The aircraft can take off and land vertically during...

In 1918, because of a lapse in censorship, the 8,000 United States Marines in the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) and fighting in France were given credit for the accomplishments of 250,000 American infantry and a million French infantry around Château-Thierry, holding the Marne River line in May and June and later counterattacking after the last German offensive in July in the action known as the Second Battle of the Marne. The word "Marines" was used in the early dispatches and so much was made of it at home as to give the impression that the United States Marine Corps was fighting this entire series of battles alone. The Marines who formed a part of the U.S. 2nd Division, did fight a...

If you are thinking of entering The United States Marine Corps there is a small event ahead of you called recruit training? This is where Marines are made and where the puny are sorted out of the group. If you think that you can just put in your time and after a few weeks you will be just given the designation of United States Marine, you are sadly misguided. All too often young men and woman enlist with unrealistic hope of what to expect. Sure everyone has heard of all the experiences of how hard the physical preparation is, but all too often the emotional aspect is overlooked. When a person signs the paperwork to become a Marine, they concentrate too much of their time on being able to run and to...

One way on how you can prepare is by knowing the qualifications and requirements so you'd be able to meet or exceed them. You may think that the age to enlist in the US Military would be a simple category but it's actually not. Federal Law dictates that the minimum age for enlistment is 17 and that should be with parental consent, if you're 18, there is no need for one...

The Parris Island training grounds is notable because here women are given the chance to train and become a member of the US Marine Corps. USMC boot camp...

The US Marine's boot camp is not the typical field gymnasium where merely cardiovascular activities are carried out. On top of the conventional training there are other tasking exercises of the mind that are incorporated into the bargain. That is why this guide has sampled 5 ways on how to survive the US Marine's boot camp.  The first point that must as well be regarded as some kind of combat anthem at the US Marine boot camp is discipline. With it lies the road to glory and being fully enlisted in the army, or the shamefaced dismissal which has become with time the most humiliating homecoming party for dismissed officers. That is why survival is so dependent on following orders, attending...
