Uniform Code of Military Justice

As a Marine, the civilian world sees us as an immaculate figure to the United States. In a way giving us the respect and honor we so proudly earn.

One example of this is disrespecting senior enlisted or officers in the Marine Corps.

School and classroom rules are not just important there, but as well in the combat zone. Out in the battle field is a prime example of why following orders is important. When a soldier disobeys…
