    On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that "two battalions of Marines be raised" for service as landing forces with the fleet. This established the Continental Marines and marked the birth of the United States Marine Corps. Serving on land and at sea, early Marines distinguished themselves in a number of important operations, including their first amphibious raid on foreign soil in the Bahamas in March 1776, under the command of the Corps' first commandant, Capt. Samuel Nicholas. The 1783 Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War and as the last of the Navy's ships were sold, the Continental Navy and Marines disbanded.…

    Army Crew

    The Varsity team continued to lose against the JV team because the eight members of the Varsity team were not able to synchronize their rowing. As explained in the article, one small movement that was not in unison could actually slow the shell down even if all rowers were putting forth their best effort. The article mentioned the research project in which the most experienced and successful coaches felt the most important elements of a victorious crew are mental aspects. Trust seems to be a very important quality that the Varsity team is lacking. All the members expressed that they felt they were carrying the team and that the other rowers were not pulling their weight. The case study points out that to be successful you have to trust each of your team members are doing what they need to do and if they do have a bad stroke, they will know how to correct it. If each member is making adjustments to try and make up for something they think another rower is doing, they are just fighting each other in the water. The behavioral norms were not laid out correctly, there is no group cohesion in the Varsity team, and no clear leader was identified all of which effected how well the team rowed together. In terms of Tuckman’s five-stage model of group development mentioned in the text book the Varsity team never made it out of the “storming” stage. Agreement and consensus was never reached and no clear roles were determined which would have been a sign of the “norming” stage. They changed their slogan many times which indicates that the “performing” stage was never reached.…

    "Almighty God, who art the author of liberty and the champion of the oppressed, hear our prayer. We, the men of Special Forces, acknowledge our dependence upon thee in the preservation of human freedom. Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless and to free the enslaved. May we ever remember that our nations, who's motto is "In God We Trust," expects that we shall acquit ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our faith, our families, or our fellow men. Grant us the wisdom from thy mind, courage from thine heart, strength from thine arm, and protection by thine hand. It is for thee that we do battle, and to thee belongs the victors crown. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever. AMEN." This is the prayer of the United States Special Forces, they recite this prayer every single time before they leave for a mission to go and help the oppressed.
