On March 21st, 2003, Maj. Jay T. Aubin, 36, a prior enlisted Marine aviator was killed in a helicopter crash in Kuwait during combat preparations for Operation Iraqi Freedom. He and his crew were transporting and training with eight British Royal Marine Commandos at the time of the crash. He was survived by his wife and two children, a son and a daughter. In 1993, I met him when he was an Officer Candidate at USMC Officer Candidate School at Quantico, Va as he was going through the PLC Combined program. Put in a peer leadership position as the Candidate Platoon Commander, he stepped up when he saw something wrong (To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce) and displayed great moral courage in reporting it and looking out for his fellow candidates.

10. St. Juste, Elguera,L., and Monroe are going to be doing sentry duty. Lenard and Ramos are going to walk past them and they are going to solute because they are higher rank and position in the cain of command.
11. The room is gonna be dark. Everyone except ramos lenard and lucas are gonna stand post. Lucas is gonna try to enter the room but is denied because he doesn't have the proper authority. Lenard and Ramos is gonna then try to enter and they are allowed to because they have the proper authority.
Team Ramos: I liked your concept of acting out your examples of real world examples, it was outstanding. IT was entertaining and educational, however it would have been even more effective if you rehearsed it more. I also realize one of your team mates was gone, but the group still has to persevere. Great concept, I actually think we need to video a well rehearsed example of the General Orders to the Sentry. It would improve cadet learning, especially the first year cadets.

6) If you were baby sitting an actual baby and friend of yours said he would watch it so you can go to a party. if you say yes, you must tell your "friend" all instructions, the baby's parents or your parents told you to follow, the parents would in this case would be the commanding officers.
7) It's just like if your working and can't be on facebook chatting with your friends becuase work is work. when your working, here are things you can can do and can't. there's a time and place for everything. if your working, you can't be making personal phone calls when your doing your work.
8) This means that when a fire or fight breaks out there's always going to be someone there to sound the alarm, like of an example of inmates fighting in jail.
9) You must contact the leadr in charge of the postin case there is a mis-understanding.
10) Respect/salute flags and countries, as well as officers those in display and thos not in display.
11) If you are home alone and your mom tells you to not open the door for anybody but her. Allow no one to pass unless your mom says it's ok. The morale is if someone is not allowed to pass or they don't have a reason to be there. Do not let them pass.

Delete5. Quit my post only when properly relieved.
Toll booth ex: booth worker., are you gonna leave that post.. Nope! Stay until you are relieved no matter how late.
4. To repeat all calls from post more distant from the guardhouse (or quarterdeck) than my own.
Emergency Ex:
If someone has a doctors appointment the parent calls and the secretary writes it down and then they call you down to the office. It's a chain effect.
3. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.
Neighborly duty: when you see something suspicious and you are a neighbor.. You make sure you report it to the police.. Even if its a misunderstanding.
Security: Mr.Shuler .. When they see something they have walkie talkies to report it to each other or Mr. hurwitz.
2. Walk my post in a military manner, keeping always in the alert, and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing:
Ex: store..
When you work at a store and you have to open dressing rooms , etc. you make sure you check the dressing room and everything after the person leaves so you can take sight of anything suspicious... And observe any activity ... Call out an remember who was in that dressing room.
If you're a sales associate you are obligated to maintain your professional composure on the job and actively seek for customers in need whether it be through sight or hearing them call for you.
1. Take charge of this post and all government property in view.
Lockdown drill:
When chief had to keep us in the room and make sure everyone was there with us.... He took charge as made sure the room was secure and by locking the door.. Took charge of all government property or us the students :)
