Changes to reading list offer new options Lance Cpl. Jackeline Perez Rivera
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.- Some of the books on the Commandant’s reading list are fictional accounts, some summon true tales and histories of battles past, and others read as textbooks, teaching of leadership, doctrine of war and the culture and philosophy of the war fighter. They differ in theme and length, but all the books in the list hold important lessons for every Marine. The Commandant’s reading list is a staple in the Marine Corps since 1988 and its format and some of its content changed in January. Books on the list were listed by rank in years past. Now, in addition to ranks, books are listed by categories such as leadership, aviation, counterinsurgency, and culture studies, along with a section called the Commandant’s Choice, an all-hands category. Maj. Marc R. Daigler, the executive officer of Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installations East, said the change allows Marines to learn about issues and concerns relevant to the Marine Corps’ current operational environment. “The reading program is important because it allows Ma-
rines to grow and develop their knowledge regarding matters of warfare and culture,” said Daigler. “We owe it to ourselves, to the Marines we lead and to our nation to be knowledgeable about the world in which we have to operate. We also owe it to ourselves to learn as much as possible about those who came before us in history - we can learn from their successes and mistakes.” Books on the list offer more than doctrine, they can also be entertaining as well as insightful. “‘Starship Troopers’ by Robert A. Heinlein is an excellent and entertaining story, which also makes some very salient points about service to one’s country and one’s society,” said Daigler, adding it is his favorite book on the reading list. “It is also a good story of the protagonist’s professional development from a recruit, to a junior soldier, to an NCO, and eventually to an officer. The book’s author served in the Navy for a few years, and one can tell he knows how the military works.” Books like Starship Troopers do not look at the past when they offer Marines tales of combat, but instead to the future, where characters must battle arachnid creatures on faraway planets while wearing powered armor. One book on the list, recommended for privates through
Library offers e-readers Lance Cpl. Cameron Payne ROTOVUE Staff
Since the ‘tablet boom’ in 2009, the concept of being able to have a hand-held computer that could perform all of the tasks of a laptop, has been an ever evolving and improving endeavor. Following along with the new technology trend, the on-base library located on Marine Corps Air Station New River, received funding to begin a new program to allow for Marines aboard the air station to check out e-readers loaded with all of the books on the Commandant’s reading list. “Marine Corps Air Station New River Station Library began circulating Nook Color e-reader devices in January of 2012,” said Linda Bryan, library director. “We have pretty much any book our readers have requested.” This includes “50 Shades of Grey” for those who are reading and immediately think of the series. The procedures for a Marine to check out one of the Nook devices is as easy as bringing a military ID and receiving a library card. The Marine or family member has 21 days to enjoy the tablet before returning it to the library. The library on the air station is the first in the Marine Corps to have the e-readers available for check out, and as
the program expands and continues to do well, other bases across the department of defense want to get in on the ereader action. “We received calls all across the Department of Defense, including Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point,” said Bryan. The person who checks out an e-reader is not allowed to alter or download any new software to the tablets in order to keep the gadgets from becoming vulnerable to malicious malware. Marines who lose or damage the equipment signed out to them will have to replace it and at over 300 dollars it’s not cheap to replace the e-readers, so Marines are encouraged to take great care when handing them, said library technician Lori Bradford. The e-readers also offer a large collection of children’s stories for parents and their children to expand interest in reading. Bryan said they only expect for the program to grow as the word spreads and popularity of the e-readers continues to increase. “We are a small library so we need to say current,” said Bryan. “Since we have experience with the program, I can only see us getting more and more equipment and growing to offer more to everyone on base.
corporals, offers guidance to the answer of an age-old Marine Corps question, “What would Chesty Puller do?” The biography of Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell “Chesty” Puller, “Marine! Life of Chesty Puller,” shows Marines aspects of Puller’s life, important decisions he made and how his service left a permanent positive mark in the Corps’ past, present and future. “I gained something from each and every book I read from the list,” said Daigler. “By reading and learning about the experiences of others, it helps me to gain knowledge I may not be able to get through my own personal experience. Reading the books enhances a Marine’s knowledge and understanding of our profession and of our world. By expanding our knowledge, we put more tools in our mental toolbox with which to handle the situations we may face in the future. We also come to a better understanding of ourselves and our role in world events.” The books on the list have much to offer Marines whether they look into the past or the future, or give explanations into the language and tempo of today’s Marine Corps.

continued from WEAPON pg. 7 the Office of the California Attorney General. Using trigger locks or placing a chain lock through the action can render the gun useless and also help deter thieves. As for mass shootings at schools and other public locations, security guards at every school can save lives by ending a spree on their own terms without waiting for killer to end it, according to LaPierre. “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” said LaPierre. One example is the San Antonio Theater shooting days after the Sandy Hook shooting, where an off-duty police officer working as security shot and stopped the shooter before anyone
was killed, according to media. Some school districts, including Harrold Independent School District in Texas, allow teachers to bring guns to the classroom, according to HISD Superintendant David Thweatt. With proper care of responsible gun owners and a responsible government that guards our children’s schools and other places a spree killer might erupt, we can see a less bloody country without taking away the firearms of law-abiding citizens.
