CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Approximately 55 lance corporals with 1st Marine Logistics Group participated in a Lance Corporal Seminar here, May 25-27
The 3-day course was designed to help further the knowledge of young Marines, who are preparing to take the next step towards becoming a non-commissioned officer.
Some of the topics discussed during the seminar included suicide prevention, mentoring subordinate Marines, equal opportunity, decision-making, the request mast process and the Commandant's Planning Guidance.
"The purpose of this course is for the [lance corporals] to familiarize themselves in the professional military education environment," said Gunnery Sgt. Darrick Lowery, company gunnery sergeant, Combat Logistics Regiment 17, 1st MLG, who served as director of the seminar. "This also [provides] them with more tools for the next rank, not only for themselves but for their junior Marines."
The seminar began each day with physical training at 5:30 a.m. The class instructors taught the students different ways to form and conduct a PT session such as warm-up techniques and various assisted exercises.
Throughout the course, the students also learned about different aspects and qualities expected from a Marine Corps leader, emphasizing the leadership principles and traits.
"I think it's a good idea to start this type of leadership training at that level," said Lowery, 37, from Troy, Ala. "Back when I was a lance corporal I didn't have this type of course to teach me."
