Pentagon Brass: Marine Corps Times Does Not Conform To The New Marine Corps Message

Marine Corps Times First Casualty In Headquarters' War To 'Professionalize' -- Marine Corps Times

Independent newspaper does not conform to new Marine Corps message, brass says

Marine Corps leaders have ordered the independent Marine Corps Times newspaper removed from its prominent newsstand location at base exchange stores worldwide and placed instead in areas away from checkout lines, where it is harder to find and fewer copies are available.

The move raises troubling questions about motive and closely follows a directive prohibiting commanders from using budget funds to buy Marine Corps Times and a number of other publications.

Marine Corps Times is widely recognized for its comprehensive coverage of the Corps, focusing on everything from career tracks, to pay and benefits, family and spouse issues, and employment after leaving the military.

My Comment: This is not right.

  1. In a country at war with outside and itself forces the military goes suit and is at war with its own. The society has been formulated against itself for political agenda throwing self preservation aside. This is very sad to all especially to the military who's life are at risk always.

  2. The boat surveyor’s Dubairole in its investigation and reporting.
    Because my principal experience as a surveyor over the years has been
    as an underwriters’ surveyor, my comments in this paper are
    understandably slanted towards insurance claims but many of the
    principles will not be lost on surveyors appointed by other principals.
    The role of independent marine surveyors
    It is well established that a surveyor’s principal role is to establish
    the facts as they relate to nature, cause and extent (three words
    with which I am sure you are all very familiar) when instructed to
    carry out a damage or loss survey but, of the three, we are
    principally concerned in this paper with cause/causation.
    However, before becoming immersed in discussion on this
    fundamental role I am going to remind you briefly that a surveyor
    has at least two other important functions.
    A marine insurance policy will often contain a clause specifically
    alerting the assured to their responsibilities to take appropriate
    steps to mitigate a loss and to claim on third parties.
    The assured is required to do both of these as a condition of
    acceptance of any claim under the policy but in any event, under
    English law, it a common law requirement for a claimant to
    mitigate a loss, as it is under the law of many other countries.
    Mitigation of loss
    Hull and machinery Surveyors, from their wide experience of marine claims in one form
    or another, are often in a very good position to advise a claimant on
    both their need to mitigate a loss, and also in many cases on the
    best method of doing so.
    However, surveyors must bear in mind that it is not their role to
    actually involve themselves with the appropriate action unless
    otherwise instructed by their principals.
