Recommended: The importance of communication in the military

Candidate Lawhorn used very few filler words while giving his order and only stumbled in his speech during the mission. Through the remaining paragraphs of his order, he had a clear voice and maintained good eye contact with the members of his fire team. He appeared comfortable in his presentation, which continued through the execution phase. SNC kept his fire team focused, unfortunately on the wrong mission, which prevented him from accomplishing the task. He tried to move the members of his fire team across the obstacle instead of just the ammo can. Candidate Lawhorn also struggled with maintaining the tempo necessary to accomplish the mission. He remained silent when his fire team members were moving slow or over-thinking tasks. SNC

    It is definitely a negative characteristic that someone with as short as a fuse as LTC. Kunk, would be put in such a position in the first place. What I didn’t comprehend is why Konk was capable of understanding and communicating with Iraqi civilians upon missions but for some reason felt like he didn’t need to pay his own soldiers the same respect. Unexceptable. Taking into account that I’m a communication major I can’t help but stress how important communication is. Therefore I consider this characteristics to be the most valuable and the main result of the downward spiral of events of 1st platoon. I would also disagree that my negative characteristic is the same. I could be a more effective communicator but it is not because I yell at the problem but more because I just need to better organize my speech and what I’m trying to convey.

  • Penry V. Lynaugh Case Study

    These decisions led to a partial striking down of Texas’s capital punishment statute in 1989. The Supreme Court held that the question of whether a defendant would be a “future danger” to the community did not adequately allow for consideration of the defendant’s mental retardation as a possible mitigating factor. (Penry v. Lynaugh). Some jurors might believe that a defendant like Johnny Penry with a low IQ might be more likely to commit future crimes, perhaps because he could not learn from his mistakes or be deterred by the law. That ruling forced Texas to change the way juries were instructed in death penalty cases. Juries needed to understand that a person’s mental retardation should at least be considered as reason for giving him a life sentence.

    Procedural History: The petitioner, who was serving as an active member in the United States Coast Guard, was facing a general court martial in New York for sexually abusing the underaged daughters of fellow Coast Guard members while serving at his previous duty station in Alaska and at his current duty station in New York. Solorio filed a motion to dismiss the charges stemming from Alaska arguing the court did not have jurisdiction of these alleged crimes as they were committed in his privately owned home. The military judge granted the motion to dismiss finding that the charges stemming from Alaska were not “service connected,” therefore, they could not be heard in a military court martial. The Government appealed to the U.S. Coast Guard Court of Military Review, which overturned the judges dismissal and restored the charges. The petitioner then appealed the decision to the United Supreme Court (Solorio, 1987).

  • Final Exam: Two Courtroom Cases

    Dan Locallo is a very contradicting man. When he began his career as a prosecutor he was anything but polite to the defense lawyers. Locallo himself describes himself as “kind of an asshole” towards defense lawyers (Courtroom 302, 59). During his time as a prosecutor, Dan Locallo became intrigued by the opportunity to become a judge. When Steve Bogira asked Locallo why he wanted to become a judge, his reply seemed simple. Locallo claimed that he never wanted to become a judge because of a “power-trip” he does claim that “the power of attraction was a great influence” (Courtroom 302, 59). However, Locallo admits that the real reason why he wanted to become a judge was because he would have the “ability to make decisions, to do justice” (Courtroom 302, 59). As a judge, Locallo seems to express three different personalities, which tend to change depending on the current case at hand. His personalities are being compassionate judge, being an understanding judge, or being a hard-nose tough judge. Each of these personalities are not only determined by the case, but also by whether Locallo will profit on the long run; whether or not he will get reelected as a circuit judge at the end of his term.

    ...he firm foresaw the significant probability of harm to firefighters using the training facility and acted to communicate the discovered risks to the government organization awarding them the contract. Communication was essential in persuading the government to address the safety issues because the site met the requirements set forth by law, reducing the perception of risk, and the design choice of replacing jet fuel with liquid propane created the unintended consequence of an increased risk that otherwise may have gone unnoticed if not for the actions of Giffels’ consulting firm. Giffels’ strategy to remain persistent in refusing to complete the contract and highlighting the significant risk his firm discovered proved successful when dealing with a client that at first appeared to have taken a minimalist approach by staying with the minimum requirements of the law.
