"In 1950, the Cavaliers were just a parade corps with hand-me-down uniforms from the more seasoned Bell Corps that consisted of Eisenhower jackets, shakos & plumes. But, they would soon learn a drill and enter big-time competition. They had taken on the Cavalier name and logo from a new cigarette. The logo was a cavalier with a plumed hat, sword and cape. The cigarette company, as part of its promotional campaign, had made available a costume jewelry pin of the logo which the Cavaliers would wear on their hats. After a summer full of parades, contests and other appearances in 1950, the Cavalier?s treasury was sufficient to allow new uniforms for 1951 that were Kelly Green. The Cavaliers would soon earn the reputation as an up- and-coming corps."

Abstract
The paper shows how the Marine Corps was formed as a compliment to the naval forces. While the navy fought at sea it still required some link to the land, which became essential for the naval operation success. Thus in 1798 the US Marine Corp was officially launched. The author of the paper analyzes the Marine Corps, provides a critique and concludes that finally the Navy saw a need to develop its own troops to extend to the ground level.
From the Paper
"Through an analysis of the historical military operations and the strategy employed through the focus on sea warfare there was an obvious centralization of control. The military operations were conducted either in the seas or on land. There was remote chance of the two coordinating in their maneuvers. With time this changed and the mission became more critical. The philosophy of war changed, as did its implementation. The heart of the naval capabilities in the operating environment saw a difficulty that could only be solved through innovation. The Marines were that very innovation arising through the ideology of being able to precisely engage the enemy."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, although their numbers are still disappointingly small, military women now serve with distinction in every service. It examines how women are still prohibited from direct combat and how this factor, more than any other, leaves women at a distinct disadvantage in military service, particularly in the U.S. Marine Corps. It shows how hostility and backward attitudes toward pregnancy also impede the integration of women in the Marines. It evaluates how, as the requirement for physical strength and skills has lessened as technology has modernized combat, studies show that women with correct training could perform traditional male duties in the military. It also shows how discontinuance of segregationist policies in training and work might help reduce the degree of discrimination and sexual harassment to which women are currently subjected.
From the Paper
"The Marine Corps has the smallest percentage of women largely because a higher proportion of Marines than members of the other services are serving in combat roles. Presently, ninety-two percent of all military specialties in the armed forces are open to women. Positions closed to women are in areas of direct combat which is defined as a position well forward on the battlefield where there is a high probably of physical combat. Thus, women are excluded from the infantry and Special Forces, two areas that offer higher pay and the greatest opportunity for rapid advancement. In addition, there have been recent moves to ban women from the new reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition teams."

From the Paper
"The Peace Corps education program is a beacon of light in the international community. Daily, Peace Corps volunteers overcome the challenges of culture shock, scarce instructional resources, and interpersonal relations to teach a wide range of subjects from English to new housing construction. Volunteers insist that they have learned more from their host countries than they themselves have contributed.
The Peace Corps is an agency of the U.S. government. Established in 1961, the Corps has three goals. The first is to provide trained manpower for Third World nations. The second goal is to teach foreign people about American culture, through contact with Americans. And the third goal is to afford volunteers the opportunity to learn about other cultures, again through firsthand contact. The education function of the Peace ..."

Semiotics and the American Marine Corps, 2005.
An analysis of the marine motto "The Few, The Proud, The Marines".
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper examines the semiotic messages being delivered by the American Marine Corps' "The Few, The Proud, The Marines". The paper argues that the Corps cleverly appeals to people's inward desire to be something more than themselves - and their equally potent desire to serve a great cause. More than that, the paper argues that the phrase appeals to notions of American exceptionalism.
From the Paper
"It is entirely possible that no government slogan is more freighted with meaning and connotation than the hallowed Marine slogan, "The Few, The Proud, The Marines". The following paper will examine what this slogan means and what it is saying about American culture by employing a semiotic analysis of the expression. Ultimately, what should emerge is an appreciation and understanding that the aforementioned expression taps into a popular deep-seated yearning to be one part of an elite unit readily distinguished from other groups in society; no less importantly, the popular slogan taps into equally popular notions of American exceptionalism. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of the American marines' inimitable slogan that this paper now turns. Simply put, semiotics is the study of signs - both individually and as they are grouped in "sign systems" - and how metaphorically-laden meaning is transmitted and understood through the use of signs."

The History of the NCO Corps, 2007.
This paper describes the role and background of non-commissioned officers in the US army.

Abstract
The paper defines a non-commissioned officer as a member of the armed forces, who ranks below a second lieutenant in the Army but is still in a position of leadership. The paper relates that the NCO is a crucial part of the foundation of the armed forces, as the system would not function without the works of those in the non-commissioned ranks. They make crucial decisions associated with the immediate needs of the system, especially in battle when communication with superiors can be limited. The paper concludes that the NCO Corps are now considered a professional and elite part of the US Army.
From the Paper
"The commissioned officer or as they are sometimes called enlisted officer, usually holds a degree earned outside the military as well as a certification called a commission that he or she is a management generalist and a trained leader while the noncommissioned officer has been educated or trained in his field within the military establishment. In the past the designations also usually indicated that the noncommissioned soldier was conscripted while the commissioned or enlisted officer was a volunteer. Though in more modern times, most militaries have converted to an exclusively volunteer army, making the former distinction the more applicable."

From the Paper
"This research paper describes the essential similarities and differences between a Subchapter S corporation (an "S corporation") and a partnership with the emphasis on the difference in their treatment for federal income tax purposes. It also includes a discussion of the tax treatment of pension plans and pension benefits. The principal advantage of an S corporation over a partnership is that shareholders of-an S corporation can obtain limited liability and the flow-through tax advantages of a partnership. An S corporation is, however, not the only way owners can obtain those goals. To some degree, a limited partnership can achieve them. Professional corporations can be formed by the owners of certain types of professional firms such as attorneys. And, since 1990, limited liability..."

From the Paper
"The monopolization and consolidation technique also represents cost savings for the R&D section as technology-sharing benefits arise from the consolidation of the similar businesses. News Corp also has a strong strategic fit in terms of supply chain activities, as its purchase of cable and satellite network companies have lead to an all-encompassing media empire which allows control over both the content and distribution of media flow. News Corp has furthermore enjoyed distribution-related strategic fits, as one News Corp-owned company benefits another through association. For example, News Corp was able to advertise and boost sales of its Fox News through advertising in the New York Post. This strategy also demonstrates the benefits implicit in employing a strategic fit in sales and marketing activities."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The steel drum, or steel pan, is a unique instrument commonly heard in Caribbean music today, and is one of the most recently "invented" instruments in the world, when taken in its current form. However, the roots of the instrument date as far back as the 18th century. This paper examines the roots of the steel drum, as well as the evolution of the instrument its self. Additionally, this paper examines the steel drum's impact on the Trinidad society.
From the Paper
"The steel drum claims origin on the island of Trinidad, located in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Venezuela. This island and the smaller island of Tobago, located 19 miles northeast of Trinidad, make up the single nation state of Trinidad and Tobago. To understand the evolution of the steel drum in this area, it is important to evaluate the political history of the islands, since it was that very political situation which helped the area to develop the instrument (Goddard, 1991).

Abstract
This paper examines the Pearl Drum Company, which began in Japan in April 1946, initially as a manufacturer of music stands and, eventually, as a producer of bass and snare drums and stands. It looks at how Pearl drums are created to be a product that consumers will be proud to purchase and the importance to the company that musicians want to be associated with them. It looks at how they focus strongly on producing quality products and on being perceived as one of the best companies in the industry. It also shows how they also focus on creating an image for the company that matches what musicians are looking for, an image of success, and an image closely linked with the high energy world of the music industry.
From the Paper
"The Pearl Drum Company has also been aware that the best option for promoting their products is to have significant bands using them. This has resulted in the company supporting and sponsoring various bands and musicians. When these bands are successful, the Pearl name is effectively promoted. For the average consumer, they might see the Pearl name on the drum set at a concert or on a film clip. This is an effective promotional option from Pearl, and one that costs less than actually creating advertisements. In addition, Pearl also reaches the market of musicians and drummers by this method. In the music industry, it is often known which brand of drums musicians use. The Pearl Drum Company supporting a drummer who is respected by other drummers is an effective promotional strategy."
