Marine Biology The field of marine biology‚ the study of organisms within their environment of an ocean‚ lake‚ or river‚ has a very broad range of occupations. Marine biologists try to discover how organisms grow and develop‚ how they get food‚ how their bodies function‚ and how their life relations correspond to other organisms. They also use laboratory experiments to increase knowledge of human life processes. This is a great career for me to enter because there are so many opportunities to

A marine biologist examines the functions of all living organisms in the sea and estuaries. They are able to conduct multiple experiments and can choose to specialise in various sizes of marine life. I am interested in becoming a marine biologist because sea creatures and science are two of my passions‚ especially conducting experiments to determine solutions for animal sicknesses.

The Modern Marine NCO Today Today’s Marine NCO has changed over the years from the past Marine NCO. An NCO today takes the knowledge from their senior NCO’s that was passed down to them and help shape the Jr. Marine today. Having respect goes a long way with Marine NCO’s but how can that be achieved if the NCO doesn’t show any themselves? A Marine NCO is like a father figure in a way‚ teaches junior marine what he/she needs to know in order to better themselves and make good decisions so that
