It is with great pride that I address you, Arizona’s servicemen and women who protect our freedom. As the saying goes, ‘freedom isn’t free’ – you defend our many constitutional freedoms and our right to vote in a free society. I want to personally thank all of you for the sacrifices you make on a…

Posted September 13, 2012 by Cpl. Sean Dennison

Opinion: Commend the deserving, encourage the wayward

Posted March 29, 2012 by Cpl. Jakob Schulz

All too often I see the line between noncommissioned officers and junior enlisted Marines blurring. I see lance corporals and privates first class talking back to corporals and sergeants, and NCO’s getting too friendly with the Marines they’re supposed to be leading and setting the standard for. When I picked up…

Leader’s Forum: Culture of Excellence

Posted August 9, 2012 by Col. Bradford Gering

I’ve always believed that a “GOOD unit” is one where the actions of all members are guided by what is expected of them.  They essentially “do the right thing” 24/7/365 in order to meet the expectations of their leadership (all levels).  A “GREAT unit” is one where the actions of all members are guided by…

Chaplain’s Corner: “Is Image Everything?”

Posted April 19, 2012 by LT Greg Woodard

We live in a world where “image is everything.” Every shiny magazine cover, store, and television program proclaims the message that how you look, what you own, where you live, what you wear, or what you drive, determiners of worth. None of us want to be superficial, but honestly, it is hard not to allow…

Opinion: My cell phone: Digital Leash

Posted April 12, 2012 by Cpl. Aaron Diamant

Reach into your pocket. Go ahead and pull out everything in your front pockets. What do you see in there? Keys, pocket knife, chap stick and a leash. That’s right.
