During my time in the United States Marine Corps, one of my immediate superiors was a Staff Sergeant by the name of Sensing. The Corps is composed of roughly 95% males and 5% females, so having a female Staff NCO was statistically unusual. When we first received word of a new SNCO coming to our shop and that she was female, there was a small amount of apprehension. Once we saw her and had spoken with her, the apprehension went away. While she was a female on a biological level, she looked and acted more in a way that was to be expected of a man.…
The Marine Corps has consistently tackled the contentious topic of the expanding role of women in the armed forces. In recent years, some historic upheavals include the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the removal of gender-restrictions on military occupational specialties. Additional amendments are in the critical implementation and testing phase - unisex uniforms, new physical fitness requirements, and changes in retention dynamics. In order to fully understand this multifaceted issue, this paper will utilize several levels of analysis to decipher the level at which these major decisions are being made, as well as theories of action to make sense of the logic behind these conclusions.…
During WWII, the Marine Corps had established itself as experts utilizing the doctrine of amphibious warfare. This was a significant resource as the US was engaging in an island hopping campaign throughout the Pacific Ocean. The Marines Corps had become so synonymous with amphibious warfare during WWII that the saying, “the Marines have landed” (Garand, G. & Strobridge, T., 1971, p. 13) became common in the US. Additionally, new tactics exploring the use of Marine close air support came to fruition in an attempt to inflict damage without committing large amounts of ground troops when possible. Throughout the war, the Marines engaged enemy forces in campaigns including those at Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and many other locations…

Female Marines Female Marines make up for six percent of the Marines Corp and only eight percent of the United States population are Marines, so that is a very small number of female Marines according to Sergeant Williams at the Princeton WV recruiting office. The Marines Corp is one the hardest branches in the United States Military to join, because it is both physical and mentally challenging, which makes female Marines the elite of the elite. The Marines Corp treats their female Marines just like they treat their male Marines, they do not get any type of special treatment because they are females, and are not allowed to use their period as an excuse to why they cannot do something that day. In 1918 the very first female named Opha Mae…
During my time in the Marine Corps, I have noticed that Marines have lacked in the understanding of close order drill and formations. We conduct these formations by utilizing close order drill to ensure Marines are always ready for any event. Due to Marines continually questioning, why do we have formations for accountability, for promotions, and uniform inspections. Formations have and always will be a part of the Marine Corps traditions. We as small unit leaders utilize the conduct of formations to hold our Marines accountable.…

The Marine Corps originated in Philadelphia, where two battalions of marines would be drafted for the Navy to fight on land or sea.…

Sports play a key role in the preservation of society. Although sports have brought people together through competition and celebration, it has also brought up many controversies as well. Inequality between men and women is evident throughout various aspects of sport, whether it is physical, financial or social forms of physical activity. Looking at this inequality also plays a role on the ability to excel through sport for females and males. In today’s society, girls fail to grow in athletics due to genetic limitations of the female body, salary controversies, and stereotypes about female athletes.…
