Marines aTloaT make up an inTegral parT oT The ship's company, and share in all The duTies and privileges oT The crew. Soldiers oT The Sea represenT The Marine Corps aboard ship as They have since The days oT John Paul Jones. The primary duTy oT The Marine DeTachmenT is To insure Q DETACHMENT A primary duTy AT sea as well as ashore The ship's securiTy. In This way The deTachrn,enT closely re- sembles a guard company ashore, wiTh The Commanding OTTicer corresponding To a guard Company Commander. The sergeanT and corporal oT The guard are direcTly re- sponsible Tor The operaTion oT The guard oT The day and The posTing, inspecTing, and relieving oT all senTries and orderlies, These include: CapTain's orderly: ExecuTive OTTi- cer's orderly, communicaTion orderly: brig senTry and brow senTry. Orderlies are selecTed Tor Their appearance, miliTary bearing, TrusTworThiness and dependabiliTy. They are in The presence oT disTinguished persons aT all Times, espe- cially in porT. Any error on Their parT can prove embarrass- ing To The ship, and The Naval Service, They are in a posi- Tion To make an impression on guesTs, and iT is imporTanT ThaT This impression be Tavorable. Much oT a Marine's day is spenT sudying and learing The deTails oT his basic weapons. T-le is consTanTly given insTruc- Tions on These weapons, inTanTry TacTics, and Tield maneu- vers. This Training gives The Marines addiTional preparaTion Tor Their landing parTy iobs. They pass These Techniques on To The sailors in The landing parTy, Thus improving The eT- TecTiveness oT The uniT. Hours oT spiT and shine -oT squaring away all per- sonal gear-become a parT oT The daily rouTine oT a Ma- rine aT sea. OT course, DeTachmenT Marines geT in Their share oT griping, buT liberTy is The besT anTidoTe Tor grip- ing, and The BALTIMORE Marines are eager To Talce The cure.
