Sept. 2019 Department of South Carolina Page 1 Department Commandant Jerry Holt [email protected] Hurricane Dorian. Another storm has come and gone, and it appears, for the most part, that South Carolina dodged the bullet. I’m not aware of any Department League members who were significantly impacted by Hurricane Dorian. If that’s not the case, please let me know. We’ve received an email from the Department of Florida with an offer to help if we need it. I’ve made the same offer to the Department of North Carolina and I’m awaiting a reply. Last year they had several Marines who suffered significant damage to their homes and many are still in the recovery process. Hopefully, this year’s storm spared more of them. Facebook. I know that many of you do not do Facebook for various reasons. However, if you are so inclined, you should “Like” the page for The Marine Corps League National Headquarters. National HQ does not pub- lish a newsletter, and the Board of Trustees is a bit skimpy on information and status of new programs or di- rections that they pass along, so this Facebook page is a good way to keep abreast of news and develop- ments. Bob Borka, our Chief Operating Officer, posts most of the official announcements and responses to questions or comments. Bob is hard-working and a straight-shooter. He’s a good source of information. [Note: If you are interested in what the National Board of Trustees are addressing, you can read minutes of their in- person meetings on the Library page of the National website. They do not post minutes of their periodic con- ference calls]. While you’re on Facebook, you may also want to join / like the page for the Yellow Footprints Detachment #1154. Bernie Eveler, Detachment Adjutant, publishes his Detachment’s Newsletter, The Sand Flea Review, each month. Obviously, most of the newsletter focuses on the happenings in their very busy Detachment, but Bernie usually includes interesting Marine-centric articles, and his sense of humor often shows through. It’s worth your time to follow the page and read the newsletter that he posts. MCL Scholarships. The preliminary list of those approved for Marine Corps League Scholarships is posted on the National Website. As I mentioned in last month’s newsletter, those who are on this list still have a final hurdle to clear. They must submit a Student Data Sheet to the Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, and they must submit an “official” confirmation of enrollment as a full-time student. The latest date for that con- firmation to be postmarked was originally September 11. However, since several schools along the East Coast were shut down because of the hurricane, they extended the last day to drop or add classes. Because of this sit- uation, the due date has been extended ----- but not for long. Most schools have now re-opened, so if you have a student on the list for the scholarship award, be sure to get that confirmation in the mail immediately. Paid Life Member Audit. Each Detachment has received a list of the Paid Life Members based on the June 30 Roster. The Marine Corps League currently has approximately 63,250 members. Out of these 63,250 mem- bers, 55% are “Paid Life Members.” The mix of Life Members to Annual Members in our Detachments is very similar, although some have a much higher percentage of Life Members. In order to receive payment from Headquarters for your Life Members, the Detachment Commandant and the Paymaster must make any correc- tions to the Audit Form; sign the form attesting to its accuracy; then mail it to the Department Paymaster. If the form is not submitted, the Detachment will not receive the annual payment for its Life Members. Department Meeting. Our next Department meeting is scheduled for October 19 at the American Legion Post, 200 Pickens Street, Columbia, SC 29205. Coffee & donuts are available ($) at 0900, and the meeting starts at 10:00am. The meeting will be followed by the Pack Growl for Devil Dogs. If you have topics or items that you would like to have addressed at the meeting, please call me or email me with your comments. ([email protected] or 973-897-9251).

    Welcome Aboard! A Handbook for Members of the Department of Georgia Marine Corps League Revision Date: 17 May 2012 1 of 44 WHAT IS THE MARINE CORPS LEAGUE? The League is the only Federally Chartered, Marine Corps related veterans organization in the country. The League was organized by then-Commandant John A. LeJeune in 1923. In 1937, Congress nationally chartered the League. It is a not-for-profit organization within the provisions of the Internal Revenue Service Code 501(c) (4), with a special group exemption letter which allows for contributions to the Marine Corps League, its Auxiliary and subsidiary units, to be tax deductible by the donor. The League is presided over by an elected Commandant and officers, with a full- time Executive Director and staff located in Virginia. The League's Objectives: Among the purposes for which the Marine Corps League was founded are: To preserve the traditions and to promote the interests of the United States Marine Corps; To band those who are now serving in the Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service together in fellowship that they may effectively promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy; To fit its members for duties of citizenship and to encourage them to serve as ably as citizens as they have served the Nation under arms; To hold sacred the history and memory of the Page 2 of 44 veterans who have given their lives to the Nation; To foster love for the principles which they have supported by blood and valor since the founding of the Republic; To maintain true allegiance to American institutions; To create a bond of comradeship between those in the service and those who have returned to civilian life; To aid voluntarily and to render assistance to all Marines and FMF Corpsmen and former Marines and FMF Corpsmen as well as to their spouses, orphans, and parents; To perpetuate the history of the U.S.

    Leadership Defined Leadership is the ability to influence, lead, or guide others so as to accomplish a mission in the manner desired by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. Purpose gives others a reason for why they should do something. Direction gives others the “knowledge” to complete the task. Motivation gives others the will to do what they are capable of doing. Leadership Primary and Secondary Objectives Primary- Accomplish the mission Secondary- Troop welfare Core Values – Honor, Courage, and Commitment Honor is the quality that guides Marines to exemplify ethical and moral behavior. Courage is a mental quality that recognizes fear of danger or criticism, but enables a leader to proceed in the face of it with calmness and firmness. Commitment means the dedication to carry out all unit tasks and to serve the values of the country, the MCJROTC, and the unit. Leadership Traits – (JJ DID TIE BUCKLE) Judgment is the ability to consider all of the factors of a problem or situation. It is then up to the leader to make a correct decision.

Initiative is the ability, or presence of mind, to take action in the absence of any clearly defined orders. Decisiveness is that quality that allows an individual to take swift and firm action. Tact is the ability to deal with others without creating offense. Integrity is being honest and upright, truthful in actions and words.
