"Selecting them and then ensuring that they are held to that standard and are held accountable for their actions, their behavior, their decisions is my job," Berger said. "But part of the reason they stay is because the expectations are that high."Īs commandant, Berger will have the unique role of choosing the service's next crop of commanders, something he calls the "ultimate responsibility." "It's not easy to get in, it's not easy to stay in," he added. I am confident that Marine leaders understand that these are not ordinary standards. "The leaders that you spoke of that were relieved by the organization, the service held them accountable for their behavior appropriately," he said. And even though there has been a string of commanding officer reliefs in recent months - at least six since late April - Berger said he doesn't view there being a widespread problem in the officer corps. The intent is to engage in greater discussion as even better communicators and improved representatives of our Corps. Leaders also have the incredible responsibility of setting the right example for their Marines. Social Media Principles This handbook outlines the Marine Corps’ social media principles to empower Marines to participate with our social media community. In 13 weeks, you can cover a lot of ground, but there will be a level of detail where perhaps you need either more education or more reinforcement to what's appropriate." "We should never assume that a 17-year-old Berger or 18-year-old Berger coming out of high school knows what's appropriate and not for the Marine Corps. "I think our job is first to educate always," he said. When asked if noncommissioned officers and other leads need to monitor their Marines' behavior to catch digital wrongdoing through, Berger stressed that if they do, it should be about leadership - not micromanagement. Screen shots of a lance corporal's white supremacist posts, for example, were posted on Twitter by a Marine veteran who called on the infantry assaultman's command to address the situation.

The Marines actually enjoy a girl with a little bit of backbone, unlike HK. The Marines aren't going to stop buying 416s because some little girl showed some character and had some fun with them. HK late to the game rather than leading the game. I was going to jump an a SP5k but MKE beat them to the punch a couple years earlier at a better price with a paddle mag already installed. If you have kids, try to get and keep them involved in actual activities that foster their real-life social connections. âHe called me a slut,â Riley said, âand everyone thought I was a slut and everyone started.
I can easily live the rest of my life without a VP whatever striker fired pistol that isn't a Glock, a MR556s that is a unreasonable muzzle heavy poor substitute for a 416 semi auto and all of the other mediocre crap they've been generating for awhile. The girl had clearly hoped to cause a breakup, and did â after which Danny took to social media. As the resident HK consumer of everything HK, that should send a shiver down the backs of the dark lords of Oberndorf. And if Hanz and Franz can't un**** themselves and hire her back with both and apology and a bonus, I might be done buying HK products altogether.
