44_BL_033021 Motion for National Administrative Procedures Change 6 February 2021 Submitted by: S. C. O’Hara Commandant, John A. Lejeune Det. 332 References: 2019 National Bylaws as amended through this date. 2019 National Bylaws Chapter 5 Section 515. Categories of Membership Background for change The National Bylaws and Administrative Procedures currently allow for Regular Membership for FMF Corpsmen and Navy Chaplains who meet the service criteria for Regular Membership contained in Bylaws Paragraph 515 a. (2) or (3), and for Associate Membership for those who do not meet these qualifications. While the intent of this is plain, to welcome into our membership those non-Marine personnel who serve alongside us with such dedication, the language used omits some non-Marine personnel who do meet that intent. Objective of change Remove the restrictions of the original language describing qualified Navy personnel. For example, Medical Officers are not “Corpsmen” and do not strictly fall under the provision of Paragraph 515 a. (2); Religious Program Specialists are not “Chaplains” and so do not fall under the provision of Paragraph 515 a. (3). There are additional Navy and other service personnel which serve in Marine units (for example, Navy Master Divers) who qualify for their Service’s FMF Warfare Qualification or equivalent, yet who are blocked from Regular Membership by our current Bylaws language. Current Language: 2019 National Bylaws Chapter 5 Section 515. Categories of Membership Section 515. Categories of Membership a. Regular Membership. Only the following may be regular members of the MCL: (1) Marines who are serving or have served honorably* in the United States Marine Corps or the United States Marine Corps Reserve; (2) U.S. -

It was a battle in which were included half a dozen bloody smaller battles, it was a battle where con- ditions were such that there was almost the closeness of conflicts in medieval times, and where regiments and brigades of raw recruits showed in desperate struggle with each other what American courage is. -

XXI JULY, 1946 NO.3 THE WESTERN SERVICES OF STEPHEN WATTS KEARNY, 1815-18.48 By *MENDELL LEE TAYLOR TEPHEN WATTS KEARNY, the fifteenth child of Phillip and S. Susannah Kearny, was born at Newark, New Jersey, August 30, 1794. He lived in New Jersey until he matricu lated in Columbia University in 1809. While here the na tional crisis of 1812 brought his natural aptitudes to the forefront. When a call· for volunteers was made for the War of 1812, Kearny enlisted, even though he was only a few weeks away from a Bachelor of Arts degree. In the early part of the war he was captured at the battle of Queenstown. But an exchange of prisoners soon brought him to Boston. Later, for gallantry at Queenstown, he received a captaincy on April 1, 1813. After the Treaty of Ghent the army staff was cut' as much as possible. -

Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy has authorized the CMC to establish Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (MCJROTC) units throughout the United States. PURPOSE OF MCJROTC The purpose of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program, commonly referred to as “Junior ROTC,” is to instill a value of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment. It does not seek any particular commitment to the military. The current legal basis for Junior ROTC is Section 2031 of Title 10, United States Code. That section is implemented by the Department of Defense. -

U.S. Coast Guard Photo, Courtesy Naval History and Heritage Command By Michael Kern Program Assistant, National History Day 1 “The point was that we on the scene knew for sure that we could substitute machines for lives and that if we could plague and smother the enemy with an unbearable weight of machinery in the months to follow, hundreds of thousands of our young men whose expectancy of survival would otherwise have been small could someday walk again through their own front doors.” - Ernie Pyle, Brave Men 2 What is National History Day? National History Day is a non-profit organization which promotes history education for secondary and elementary education students. The program has grown into a national program since its humble beginnings in Cleveland, Ohio in 1974. Today over half a million students participate in National History Day each year, encouraged by thousands of dedicated teachers. Students select a historical topic related to a theme chosen each year. They conduct primary and secondary research on their chosen topic through libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, and interviews. Students analyze and interpret their sources before presenting their work in original papers, exhibits, documentaries, websites, or performances. Students enter their projects in contests held each spring at the local, state, and national level where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators. The program culminates in the Kenneth E. Behring National Contest, held on the campus of the University of Maryland at College Park each June.
