JOSH MURRAY II MEF (FWD) AL ASAD AIR BASE, Iraq – Throughout the Marine Corps, tens of thousands of enlisted Marines carry the title of noncommissioned offi cer. The title holds great signifi cance with regard to leadership development and military occupational specialty profi ciency. For many NCOs, the title marks a big step in an enlisted career, in which emphasis is placed on leadership abilities and professional development of junior Marines. From NCO to staff NCO, the title comes with unique and for- midable challenges, but some Marines strive for more. Staff Sgt. Amanda Jones, intelligence chief, Sgt. Jo- seph Morrison, personal computer intermediate repair technician, and Sgt. Brandon Fritts, an ejection safety equipment mechanic, all with Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 3, have successfully completed the re- quirements and have been accepted to the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program. When they return from their current deployment aboard Al Asad Air Base, Iraq, they embark this new journey. “I knew if I re-enlisted, I would start thinking about making it a career, and becoming an offi cer was the best decision I could have made,” said Morrison. “I started thinking about where I see myself in the future and what I want out of the Marine Corps.

SIMONE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Daniel J. Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).
