Weight waivers for recruits must stop!

Article Abstract:

The US Marine Corps need to do away with weight waivers to be consistent with its growing emphasis on physical conditioning. Weight waivers are issued to recruits who are expected to maintain Marine Corps height and weight standards through the rigors of Marine service, dietary education and better lifestyle decisions at the boot camp. However, weight waivers only send conflicting signals to would-be-recruits as well as the commands ultimately handling them.

Is the Marine Corps willing to further staff the naval academy to acquire more of its graduates?

Article Abstract:

The need for additional staffing requirements for the Naval Academy has been highlighted considering the importance of recruiting the best Naval Academy graduates in the Marine Corps. Though the Marine Corps is currently unprepared to meet the additional and highly specialized staffing requirements and has instead activated 19 qualified Reserve officers to fill shortfalls in faculty positions and introduced the permanent military professional (PMP) program, it is apparent that the Marine Corps will do whatever it takes to secure the very best of the Naval academy graduates each year.

First-enlistment marriages

Article Abstract:

A study to understand the effects of marriage on job performance, attrition, and retention that would enhance the Corp's ability to best utilize resources to support junior enlisted Marines and accomplish its mission is presented. It concluded that marriage among first-term enlisted marines in itself does not only adversely affect the job performance of those who marry but also presumably, the units they work within.
