Like Marines combat readiness is less important than do-it-yourself projects in the barracks or living quarters. What have we become when combat Marines can’t have the proper living quarters. One answer, poor leadership from the top. God help us.

The United States Marine Corps has rolled out a new maintenance tracking system called QSRMax, which uses QR codes in barracks for Marines to easily report and track maintenance issues. The QSRMax system allows Marines to simply scan a QR code with their phones to report a problem, which is then received by barracks managers. This new digital system aims to improve accountability and responsiveness for maintenance requests, giving Marines the ability to track their requests in real-time. The system is part of the Marine Corps' "Barracks 2030" plan, which is aimed at improving housing conditions for Marines. It builds on a successful pilot program at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in California, where the QSRMax concept was tested. This new maintenance tracking system is expected to help address longstanding issues with barracks upkeep and responsiveness to Marines' requests. By empowering Marines to report problems quickly and giving leadership better visibility, the Marine Corps hopes to improve living conditions and increase transparency. #MarineCorps #Barracks2030 #Maintenance #QRCodes #Facilities #MilitaryLife

United States Marine Corps USMC Special Operations USMC Scout Sniper Association Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation Recon & Sniper Foundation Rule 5- FAILURE ALWAYS REPRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY: Losing and quitting are two different things. Never confuse one for the other. Remember one is acceptable and the other unforgivable. Don’t beat yourself up after a loss. Failing is okay as long as you learn from the experience. You have simply paid for a lesson with your mind, body, money, or time. Figure out why you failed and learn from it. These are the lessons in life that are the most valuable. Fail, screw up, and make lots mistakes....just avoid failing in the same way twice at all costs. #recon #sniper #sarc #reconsniper #scoutsniper #specialamphibiousreconnaissancecorpsman #ReconSniperFoundation #usmc #marine #headhunter #skills #life #liveright #diewell #rulenumber5 #lifelessons #recondo #forcerecon #dieliving photo credit: @seastate21

I’m reaching out to let you know that I know how it feels to be laid off. When I left active duty in the Marine Corps, I had to go on employment because I couldn’t find a job right away. I’ve been there and have experienced the lack of confidence and self doubt that accompanies it. Here’s my advice to you, now, standing on the other side of it. Here are some actionable steps you can take: Make a list of people you admire and respect, determine how they can each help you, and then make a plan to reach out to the people on that list. Being proactive and being clear when you ask for help are the things you can control within a seemingly uncontrollable situation. ❤️ #unemployed #laidoff #marinecorps

If you’ve been considering joining the military or serving your country but aren’t sold on active duty service, you have more options. The reserves, National Guard, private contracting, and civilian DOD employment are all viable career options that allow you to serve your country without the same type of commitment as active duty service. In our latest blog, we discuss your options for working in or for the military and the benefits of choosing these careers.

United States Marine Corps USMC Special Operations USMC Scout Sniper Association Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation Recon & Sniper Foundation Rule 7- BECOME A TRAINED OBSERVER. Learn through observation. Take advantage of learning through other people’s mistakes. It’s a great way to learn without having to suffer through a lesson. When you are in learning mode speak only when you have something worth saying. Remember, you have 2 ears and 2 eyes, but only one mouth for a reason. Watch, Listen, Absorb, Analyze ...then contribute. When you do contribute provide honest, accurate, truthful feedback. Avoid embellishing or exaggerating to make your point more valid. A truly valid point will always stand on its own merits. See things for what they are, not for what you want them to be. This is especially true of people. Remember nothing is free, there is ALWAYS a catch. #recon #sniper #sarc #reconsniper #scoutsniper #specialamphibiousreconnaissancecorpsman #ReconSniperFoundation #headhunter #skills #life #liveright #diewell #lifelessons #recondo #forcerecon #soflete #dieliving #trainedobserver

Don't be surprised or upset about this article talking about the United States Marine Corps and DoD-SkillBridge. This trend will continue to grow because the SkillBridge program is not working as intended. Here's why... ✅ The intent behind SkillBridge is a good one; however, ❌ In practice, SkillBridge has been and will continue to be a lose-lose-lose proposition because military #servicemembers have not done the due diligence to figure out what industry they want to enter, let alone the company, before they enter "a" SkillBridge Let's break down the lose-lose-lose... ❌ The service member loses because they won't get a full time offer, because chances are, they are in the wrong industry and / or company ❌ The company lost a potential employee because the service member chose "a" SkillBridge, not the "right" SkillBridge ❌ The Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve units are losing a taxpayer-funded body needed to accomplish their DoD mission So, when it's broken down like this, it's no wonder why the Marine Corps is curtailing the amount of time service members can participate in SkillBridge and they are not alone. The Navy is significantly curtailing their participation in the program overall. Like we said before, expect this trend to continue—it only makes sense. Think we have it wrong? Let's hear it in the comments below. 👇 #stopbeingsurprised #skillbridge #preveteran
