The #Marines non-commission #officer sword and the #bloodstripe we wear on our #uniform represent a #valuable piece of #history. It represent our past #wars and where we came from marking a valuable lesson, hence why we #honor our #lineage and wear it with #pride on our uniform.

No matter what we all go through, one should never forget where we came from and what our #ancestors has taught us. You either follow in their footstep and honor their lessons or step aside and let someone else take its place.

Where do you stand?

Join us in congratulating the newly promoted Staff Sergeant Carley Davidsmeier!!

A staff sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps is the first staff noncommissioned officer rank and marks a whole new spectrum of leadership responsibilities. While on duty, Staff Sergeants most often act as platoon sergeants or section leaders with one or more corporals or sergeants working directly under them to carry out their objectives to the junior Marines. The primary duties of Staff Sergeants include supervising and delegating section duties to subordinate NCO Marines, as well as training and disciplining all subordinate Marines in their sections. The most distinctive characteristic of a staff NCO is that their success is rated not only by their own proficiency and conduct, but by the overall performance of their subordinates.

Over the course of the week, we introduce selectees to the Marine Corps mission, core values, military culture and leadership principles. Participants will be challenged to step outside of their comfort zone and to strengthen their confidence and leadership skills. They will be exposed to the teachings and lessons of many Marine Corps leaders and be surrounded by a diverse range of students. Physical training and scenario-based reaction courses will be emphasized throughout the week. Students will graduate the program more confident and equipped to improve the lives of those around them and will be postured to become better leaders at home, school and communities.

Possess strong moral and ethical standards.
Current Physical within one year of the academy.

While athletics, school leadership positions and service-oriented activities are not required, they are important to the overall selection process.
Participation in Reserve Officer Training Corps programs is not required.
Students cannot be a member of the Delayed Entry Program.
SELECTION PROCESS
Students will be selected for the program based on the whole person concept by a board of Marines. Nominees must demonstrate a desire to lead and develop oneself.

The United States Marine Corps reserves the right to revoke selection at their discretion if the application information provided cannot be validated.

Students will be notified of selection status by March 1, 2020. Selected students will be required to provide documentation in order to participate in the academy. If documents are not received by the due date, the selectee will forfeit their opportunity.

Alternate selections will be made during the selection board process. Those selected as alternates will be notified of a change in selection status no later than May 15, 2020.

WHAT THE CORPS HAS TO OFFER
It starts in boot camp, the proving ground where every Marine learns firsthand what being part of our proud tradition demands- physically, emotionally, and mentally. But #Marines do not stop learning there. #Education and a Marine's personal development are important to the #MarineCorps.

Parents: you should do.... Counselor: you should look into... Coach: you should go to... Teacher: make sure you go to a good.... RECRUITER: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Sometimes, this is the first time someone will be asked what THEY want to do instead of being force fed a preconceived life/career choice from the most influential people in their lives.
Some people fail to recognize their own true potential because someone is blinding them from other opportunities this world has to offer, doing and saying any and everything they can to deter them from it.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS..... ARE YOU A LEADER OR A FOLLOWER OF YOUR OWN LIFE?

ARE YOU GOING TO SIT BACK AND LET SOMEONE TELL YOU EVERY LITTLE THING YOU CAN OR CANT DO?

OR ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY, EVERY CHANCE, AND EVERY AVENUE TO ENSURE YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL IN WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?
The choice is yours......make it....or dont....

A fighting spirit can't be taught. Living deep within a person, it becomes evident in those brave enough to act. The Marine Corps develops the fighting spirit during each stage of training, and that determination is harnessed by every Marine who fights and wins our Nation's battles. #NorthCenter #MARINES
