MARION MILITARY INSTITUTE 2020-2021 Cadet Manual MARION MILITARY INSTITUTE 2020-2021 Cadet Manual 1 Cadet Name (Last name, first name, middle initial): _____________________________ Cadet Number: ______________________________ Company: ______________________________ Platoon: ______________________________ Squad: ______________________________ 2 A Message from the Office of the Commandant of Cadets Dear Cadets: Congratulations on your decision to become a member of the Marion Military Institute (MMI) Corps of Cadets. This year is especially important as MMI just celebrated its 175th anniversary. You are now part of a long-line of history and accomplishment. Our military model is over 130 years old and has proven effective and resilient. We count over 200 flag officers in all services along with countless notable alumni in all fields of human endeavor which proves our model. Life in the Corps is both challenging and fun, all of which is intended to stimulate and advance your physical and intellectual capabilities as well as your critical thinking and decision-making abilities. What you get out of your time here at MMI is directly related to the amount of effort you put into it. The faculty and staff are dedicated professionals who are driven to provide you every opportunity to succeed and reach your potential. MMI is a leadership college, and the Corps of Cadets serves as an instrument to implement, assess, and reinforce the education and training critical to your personal and professional maturation. During your time here at MMI each of you will play a critical role within the Corps as both follower and leader. A successful leader is also a good follower, and both followership and leadership requires the attributes of patience, understanding, respect, self-discipline and above all, integrity. These attributes are imbued in MMI’s motto of Truth, Honor and Service and reinforced through an honor code and honor system intended to advance the leadership and character development of all cadets. The MMI Honor Code states: I will not lie, cheat, or steal. MMI’s Honor Code is not intended to serve as a coercive tool for peer leaders, faculty, staff, or anyone associated with the College. The Code is something to be embraced as a mechanism to guide thoughts, actions, and honorable living. We want you to live in the “spirit of the code”. Many of you, especially when you advance as peer leaders, will face personal or professional dilemmas that may challenge your decision-making process. If you follow the Honor Code, regardless of the possible short-term repercussions, you will be successful here and in the future. The Cadet Manual outlines rules, regulations, and policies intended to guide your decision- making process and reinforce MMI as a values-based organization. It is imperative that you read and understand the information contained within this document. If you have any questions or concerns, please notify your chain of command or your TAC officer. Once again, congratulations on your choice to join the MMI’s historic Corps of Cadets. Truth, Honor, Service – We hail the Corps! Colonel Edwin W. Passmore, USA (ret) 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS A Message from the Office of the Commandant of Cadets ............................................................ 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: the Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945
    CRUCIBLES OF VIRTUE AND VICE: THE ACCULTURATION OF TRANSATLANTIC ARMY OFFICERS, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 John F. Morris All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: The Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Throughout the long nineteenth century, the European Great Powers and, after 1865, the United States competed for global dominance, and they regularly used their armies to do so. While many historians have commented on the culture of these armies’ officer corps, few have looked to the acculturation process itself that occurred at secondary schools and academies for future officers, and even fewer have compared different formative systems. In this study, I home in on three distinct models of officer acculturation—the British public schools, the monarchical cadet schools in Imperial Germany, Austria, and Russia, and the US Military Academy—which instilled the shared and recursive sets of values and behaviors that constituted European and American officer cultures. Specifically, I examine not the curricula, policies, and structures of the schools but the subterranean practices, rituals, and codes therein. What were they, how and why did they develop and change over time, which values did they transmit and which behaviors did they perpetuate, how do these relate to nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century social and cultural phenomena, and what sort of ethos did they produce among transatlantic army officers? Drawing on a wide array of sources in three languages, including archival material, official publications, letters and memoirs, and contemporary nonfiction and fiction, I have painted a highly detailed picture of subterranean life at the institutions in this study.

Mid-year transcripts are NOT SENT automatically!!! Maryland Career and Technology Education (CTE) Programs (Information from MSDE: http://www.marylandpublicschools.org/programs/Pages/CTE/CTEprograms.aspx) According to Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), Career and Technology Education (CTE) prepares both youth and adults for a wide range of careers. These careers require varying levels of education- from high school and postsecondary certificates, to apprenticeships, or two- and four-year college degrees. Students add value to their overall education by completing CTE programs of study that provide opportunities to earn industry- recognized credentials and college credit while still in high school. Maryland's Career Technology Education (CTE) programs fall under clusters, groupings of interrelated occupations that represent the full range of career opportunities in key economic sectors of Maryland’s economy. College and school administrators, counselors, and faculty members are using the career cluster system to develop programs that extend from high school to two-and four-year colleges/universities, apprenticeship programs and the workplace. Maryland’s CTE Career Clusters (Information about Career Clusters: www.marylandpublicschools.org/programs/Pages/CTE-Programs-of- Study/Clusters/index.aspx) Maryland’s career clusters are driven by what students need to know and do in order to graduate fully prepared for further education and careers in the 21st century global economy.

  • On Character and Creativity: Philosophical Reflections on Moral Education in the United States Military
    On Character and Creativity: Philosophical Reflections on Moral Education in the United States Military Harry H. Jones IV Memphis, Tennessee M.A., University of Virginia, 2010 B.S., United States Military Academy, 1998 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty Of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy University of Virginia May 2016 © Copyright by Harry Howard Jones IV All Rights Reserved May 2016 For Laura, Haddie, Harrison, Gresham, Mary Goodwin, and Kate iv Abstract My dissertation seeks to bring recent work in ethics and creativity to bear in new and interesting ways on the Army’s moral education efforts. The U.S. Army aims to develop leaders who can exercise excellent moral judgment, often in extreme situations, and who have the ability to solve new, complex problems as well as old problems in innovative ways. One question I aim to answer is, “How might the U.S. Army develop leaders who are deeply moral and exceptionally creative?” In order to do that well, the Army needs substantive conceptions of both character and creativity. I argue for a conception of character that places emphasis on the skill-like nature of virtue and, subsequently, a conception of creativity as, itself, a skill. The exercise of a skill is sensitive to a variety of external factors present in any given situation. The exercise of virtue is sensitive to situational factors as well, but moral education in the Army gives insufficient attention to this. While character development is about much more than merely about doing the “right thing,” one important aim is to equip agents to exercise good judgment.
