 The Corporal Training Course is essential to molding young Marines to be the new leaders of the Marine Corps. Corporal Brindley Alviarez understands the importance of becoming a strong leader for her junior Marines and taking this training to heart. So what we're doing right now, it's part of our training, it's becoming NCOs, non-commissioned officers in the Marine Corps, and we're required to do this training as corporals. So they come up with this incredible, intensive course for a couple of weeks where we're really instilled leadership ideas of, you know, caring about your junior Marines, but also leading by example and have that, not only that, like, stands as a leader, but also be able to give commands to support them. The training lasts two weeks and covers in-class lessons such as Marine Corps history, communication and administrative skills to assist them in their future roles as leaders. The course also involves perfecting the handling of the NCO's sword and the guide on. Sergeant Robert F. Medell explains the role of an NCO in the Marine Corps. As NCOs, they are the backbone of the Marine Corps. They have to learn how to go ahead and lead Marines and go ahead and develop the subordinates. If they don't, then they'll be lost once the Marine comes to them. So if they get this training, they'll learn to say, okay, Marines, this is what you need to do. These are the steps you need to have to get to where I am at. From Naval Air Station, Siganella, I'm Seaman Luke Askew.
