NCO Smart Book

N O T E S N O T E S

Leader of Marines, Congratulations on your recent selection to Corporal of Marines. As you know, the Marine Corps promote Marines on the confi dence in their potential, not as a reward for past performance. Along with your accession to the Non-Commissioned Offi cer ranks comes an added responsibility. You have been charged with holding yourself to a higher standard and have been entrusted with the personal mentorship and professional development of our Corps. You must set the example for all Marines, senior and subordinate alike. Your conduct, both on and off duty, must be above reproach. You must adhere to the strict standards set by so many who have gone before you, you must do this for the future of our Corps, for those who will follow you. No formal or informal school can teach you everything that you will need to know to face the countless challenges that you will encounter during your journey as a Non-Commissioned Offi cer. This NCO Smart Book is intended to provide you with a quick reference guide that compliments what you have already learned through your own experiences and the tutelage of those who have mentored you. Today’s world is an uncertain place and our constant vigilance is necessary to ensure the safety of our nation. The battles we are fi ghting today and the Corporals and Sergeants leading our young Marines will ultimately decide the battles we will fi ght tomorrow. Because we never know when our nation will call, we must be ready today. I trust that you will be. Congratulations again and my best wishes for continued success as a leader of Marines! Semper Fidelis, Commanding General U. S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacifi c

N C O S M A R T B O O KN O T E S

Leader of Marines, I would also like to congratulate you on your promotion to the Non-Commissioned Offi cer ranks. As a newly promoted Corporal you are expected to seek self -improvement through education, become a mentor to younger Marines and conduct periods of instruction.

As an NCO, I charge you to educate yourself through a myriad of ways; resident and non-resident PME, MCI courses, off duty education, and the Commandant’s reading list. These tools along with staying familiar with recently published Orders, MarAdmin and ALMARS will help you direct your Marines in the right direction.

With regards to knowledge, I expect all NCOs’ to be able to give a period of instruction to your Marines, to form the unit for PT, and conduct the Daily sixteen (16). In similar vein, nothing more easily showcases your confi dence than a strong command presence and command voice confi dently leading your Marines in Close Order Drill. Lastly, you are the only service given the privilege to carry the NCO sword. This prestige is only accorded to the Non Commissioned Offi cers of the United States Marine Corps.

In addition to self-improvement and conducting period of instructions, I believe mentorship is potentially the largest armament to being an effective NCO than any other quality! I charge you to know where and how your Marines live; be it by way of an inspection of their BEQ rooms, or living quarters on or off base. Know when it is time to get your Marine help with alcohol or domestic issues. Know when it is time to hold your Marines accountable for their actions! Perhaps the toughest challenge for a newly promoted NCO is to be a friend one day, and the “leader” the next. The Corps is counting on you and promoted you to do the right thing.

Be the standard bearer for Customs, Courtesies, and Traditions understanding fully all that have served before you! Refer to Your NCO Creed daily. The next few pages are excerpts from several documents that I think you will fi nd useful as a “quick reference guide” to assist in all your important myriad of duties. Congratulations again and my very best wishes for your continued success as a Non-commissioned Offi cers!

Semper Fidelis,

Sergeant MajorU. S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacifi c

NCO Creed

I am the backbone of the United States Marine Corps, I am a Marine Non-Commissioned Offi cer. I serve as part of the vital link between my commander (and all offi cers) and enlisted Marines. I will never forget who I am or what I represent. I will challenge myself to the limit and be ever attentive to duty. I am now, more than ever, committed to excellence in all that I do, so that I can set the proper example for other Marines. I will demand of myself all the energy, knowledge and skills I possess, so that I can instill confi dence in those I teach. I will constantly strive to perfect my own skills and to become a good leader. Above all I will be truthful in all I say or do. My integrity shall be impeccable as my appearance. I will be honest with myself, with those under my charge and with my superiors. I pledge to do my best to incorporate all the leadership traits into my character. For such is the heritage I have received from that long, illustrious line of professionals who have worn the blood stripe so proudly before me. I must give the very best I have for my Marines, my Corps and my Country for though today I instruct and supervise in peace, tomorrow, I may lead in war.

The probability levels estimated for each hazard may be based on the mission, COAs being developed and analyzed, or frequency of a similar event. Figure 2-2 provides a summary of the fi ve degrees of probability. The letters in parentheses following each degree (A through E) provide a symbol for depicting probability. For example, the letter A represents frequent probability.

Substep BSubstep B addresses the severity of each hazard. It is expressed interms of—• Degree of injury or illness.• Loss of or damage to equipment or property.• Environmental damage.• Other mission-impairing factors such as lost combat power.

The right of all Navy and Marine Corps members to directly communicate grievances to, or seek assistance from, their Commanding Offi cers is established in U.S. Navy Regulations (Articles 0820c and 1151.1) and the Marine Corps Manual (par 805). This right is exercised through the formal process of Request Mast.

OPNAVINST 3120.32C, Standard Organization and Regulations of the U.S. Navy

What is Request Mast?

Request Mast includes both the right of the member to personally talk to the commander, normally in person, and the requirement that the commander consider the matter and personally respond to the member requesting mast.

Request Mast provides a member the opportunity to communicate not only with his or her immediate commanding offi cer, but also with any superior commander in the chain of command up to and including the member’s immediate commanding offi cer. Request Mast also provides commanders with fi rsthand knowledge of the morale and general welfare of the command.

Who can request mast?

All Navy and Marine Corps members should fi rst make every effort to address the offending behavior directly with the party responsible, verbally or in writing. You can also discuss the matter with your immediate supervisor and request assistance. If you are unable to resolve the issue informally, you have the right to Request Mast.

23

Can a commanding offi cer deny a Request Mast application?

A commanding offi cer may deny a Request Mast application if there is another specifi c avenue of redress available to the member. The commanding offi cer should explain to the member why he/she denied the Request Mast application and, if appropriate, explain the procedure the member should follow to resolve the issue.

The commanding offi cer may also require the member to go through the Chain of Command prior to approving Mast.

What are some issues that are not appropriate for Request Mast?

Generally, a military member can speak to the Commanding Offi cer about any subject; however, the member can not use request mast for the following reasons:

• Request Mast should not be used as a means of attacking the proceedings, punishment, or fi ndings and sentence resulting from a disciplinary action brought under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

• Request Mast may not be used to harass, avoid duty, or intentionally interfere with the commander’s ability to carry out the functions and mission of the command.

• Request Mast cannot be used if the member is being processed for involuntary separation or if the subject of the complaint is an ongoing Article 138, UCMJ, or Article 1150, Navy Regulations.

How do I submit a Request Mast application?

Complete the Request Mast Application form (NAVMC 11296) and submit it through the chain of command to the Commanding Offi cer. Ask your legal offi ce for assistance in obtaining a copy of the form.

Article 31(B), UCMJ, and Miranda/Tempia Rights

Instructions to the Interviewer…

This form shall be completed when anyone investigating an alleged offense(s) considers it desirable or necessary to interview an individual subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice who is:

a.Suspected of an offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, state, or other federal law; or,

b.In custody (freedom of movement is limited in some signifi cant way).

This warning is more extensive than the individual warnings required under either Article 31(b), UCMJ or the Miranda and Tempia line of court decisions. In a case in which both rights apply (a. & b. above), however, this form should be given to a military member by a military investigator or anyone acting on behalf of the military. This warning should be used at the preliminary investigation stage because no determination has been made as to the appropriate disposition of the alleged offense(s). This form may also be used in interviewing civilian suspects even though the warnings are more extensive than are required.

Other Warnings That May Be Required…

1.Under 10 U.S.C. § 1219, a military member must be advised that he or she is not required to make any statement relating to the origin, incurrence, or aggravation of a disease or injury. See, section 2-F, Administrative Investigations Manual, COMDTINST M5830.1 (series).
