Operational Security... Now?

Becoming a Marine Parent

Operational Security... Now? [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001XN8y5b2GvArvPd_slLScXh2aOAHvShNFu9ulCNWlhWW-yT5GFgNr0FkzFMOYpECC2XSoBryS2rF6G2PfoIpA8ZuQ2H66YR5d_dMxXJ4fpgMgrOAgdgcGo3C78ykVbYqYvMV35dB-wdaeD1Hz7OIc_HU22ZOk7vum]
In this series of articles, we've talked a little bit about privacy and respect,
noting that both are important concepts to learn as the parent of a recruit. As
your recruit nears graduation, the concept of Operational Security (OPSEC) becomes
just as important to understand.

As a family member in the military community, you are a vital factor in the success
(or lack thereof) of OPSEC. You may not know it, but you can play a crucial role
in ensuring your loved one's safety by protecting the information you have of the
military's day-to-day operations.

OPSEC is important to you as family members during recruit training because the
better you come to understand it during the training process, the less problematic
it will be when your Marine goes into the fleet.

History of the Marine Corps

Learning More About the Corps

History of the Marine Corps [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001XN8y5b2GvAoVFRWNm82O6ASmNvlR1hJ4h4wWApVkV1oeyO8LER2r3pBp8CDIz8my-76SmAWMs8EXYwpJGEwf69wd6bYuRli2CdWMe4uRZ6xIRj99fa2GyIfIsVLr26xePfdHCjRcwEeOQ6hjDQPnlxi7HMd5D0Yg]
The United States Marine Corps were founded as the "Continental Marines" during
the American Revolutionary War, formed by a resolution of the Continental Congress
on November 10, 1775. The Corps first recruited at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.

During the Revolutionary War, the Marines served as landing troops for the recently
created Continental Navy. The Continental Marines were disbanded at the end of the
war in April, 1783 but reformed on July 11, 1798. Despite the gap, the Marine Corps
celebrates its birthday on November 10 each year.

Historically, the United States Marine Corps has achieved success and notoriety
in every major military campaign in American history, beginning with the Revolutionary
War, as well as in several smaller conflicts, such as the Barbary Wars, the Mexican-American
War, and the "Banana Wars" in the Caribbean and Latin America throughout the 19th
century. In the 20th century, the Marines solidified themselves as one of the world's
most elite fighting forces in World Wars I and II, Korea, and Vietnam, as well as
places like Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan in more recent times.

The following is an excerpt from an April, 2009 Marine Corps article.

Parris Island through the eyes of new recruits

As the air brakes hiss, hearts beat faster, palms sweat, breaths become shorter
and a bus of hopeful recruits are unified by the fear of the unknown.

These are the experiences of so many recruits who have passed through Parris Island's
main gate.

Upon arriving, recruits are greeted by a drill instructor and ordered to get off
the bus and onto Parris Island's legendary yellow footprints.

These are the words all recruits hear once they are on the yellow footprints:

"You are now aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island South Carolina, and
you have just taken the first step toward becoming a member of the world's finest
fighting force, the United States Marine Corps."

The Initial Drill Evaluation tests each platoon's ability to listen to the orders
of its Drill Instructor at this point in training, and is a demonstration of the
unit's degree of discipline and esprit de corps.

Drill is used as one of the first methods of transforming these recruits from civilians
into Marines, and plays a large part on their development of teamwork and unit cohesion.

"On Family Day and Graduation Day you will be amazed when you see the new Marines
marching out onto the Parade Deck," one mom said, "They will be marching in perfect
rows... perfectly in step... pivot perfectly in time with each other... and will
be a sight to behold!"

From the Commandant's Reading List: A Message to Garcia

Pvt./PFC.

From the Publisher:
This tale of a soldier's self-reliance during the Spanish American War is history's
greatest motivational lesson, now collected with Elbert Hubbard's most treasured
inspirational works.
A Message to Garcia touched so profound a chord in readers that, after its publication
in 1899, it became one of the most widely read works in human history. A Message
to Garcia tells the story of an American soldier charged with delivering a critical
message to a leader of Cuban rebel forces during the Spanish American War. In
Hubbard's account, he delivered the urgent missive with no questions asked, no
complaining, and no hedging. The enduring and almost unbelievably simple message
of the essay is this: When asked to perform a task, don't ask How...? or Why...?
or Wouldn't it be better if I . . . ? Just do it-and you will become more valued
and respected than you ever imagined possible.

A Combat Marksmanship Instructor, or CMI, teaches recruits the fundamentals of weapons
safety with their M-16A2 service rifle.
During Firing Week, which is the second week of marksmanship training, recruits
hear the four rifle range safety rules several times each day. Recruits will hear
these safety rules frequently for the rest of their time in the Marine Corps and
many Marines remember them for the rest of their life.
The first rifle range safety rule is:
Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.

The Crucible is the final test every recruit must go through to become a Marine.
It tests every recruit physically, mentally, and morally and is the defining moment
in recruit training.

The Crucible takes place over 54-hours and includes food and sleep deprivation and
over 45 miles of marching. The entire Crucible event pits teams of recruits against
a barrage of day and night events, requiring every recruit to work together to solve
problems, overcome obstacles, and help each other along the way.

The obstacles they face range from long marches, combat assault courses, the leadership
reaction course, and the team-building warrior stations.
