Upon the arrival of the CMC, he is driven to the Camp Hansen Base Theatre, and is casually engaged in conversation in front of the theatre with the Commanding Officer of Camp Hansen.

Exactly five minutes after the CMC’s arrival to the base his driver’s cell phone receives a call from a group identifying themselves as the Japanese Right of Sovereign Soil. The group is demanding that all United States Marines and other service members evacuate the base immediately or the CMC will be assassinated in one hour.

In the event of this fictional event occurring and as the NCOIC of the React Team, I would immediately notify CMC and the Base Commanding Officer and recommend that they move into the base theatre for better protection.

    We all know that from the beginning, Marines are engrained with the mindset to “never back down” regardless of circumstances and regardless of all odds.

Everywhere you turn there are the bodies of Chinese casualties; later you find out it was over two-thousand confirmed casualties to be exact. To any normal person, this would probably be quite a shocking sight, but as the book “The Last Stand of Fox Company” by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin expresses, to the 10,000 Marines in Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, Seventh Marine Regiment, this grew to be the usual for them.

    On December of 1992, U.S. troops landed in Somalia. It was Thomas E. Ricks’ first deployment as a Pentagon Reporter. Opening the beginning chapter, he speaks of his first-hand experience he encountered while traveling with a squad from Alpha Company of the 1st battalion of the 7th Marines. Exceptionally qualified, his work on Making The Corps was cited by Thomas E. Ricks himself. Few events were videotaped, and some related by several participants and observers. Thoughts of Platoon 3086 and military documentations, such as “Recruit Incident Reports” and “Recruit Evaluation Cards”, were used as well to get an inside feel of the way recruits and Drill Instructors see Boot Camp.

As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as “The Backbone of the Army (“The NCO Creed written by SFC Earle Brigham and Jimmie Jakes Sr”).
