Command and Control utilized trickle down leadership, propelled downward through the chain of command from the commander to the lowest level. Mission Command involves all leaders, not just the…
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.

WRI 1200 Research Plan My research question is whether corporal punishment early in life leads to incarceration later in life. The reason I picked this topic is the desire to learn the truth about it. Growing up in the South, the phrase “Spare the rod, spoil the child” was a very common term. We knew if we behaved badly we were going to get a whooping. But as I got older and saw friends of mine, one by one, become incarcerated, It made me wonder did our upbringing lead to these incarcerations?…

Corporal Punishment Corporal punishment is punishment intended to cause physical pain on a person. I was the principal at an elementary school and the students were so bad, like over a 100 kids, out of 200, a day, would get sent to my office for bad behavior.
