no matter the cost in terms of personal success or popularity." (Sorely, 1989)

organizational values to have an effect on the behavior of our Marines.

understand the impact they have on the operation of the unit causes a disconnection

their units have low individual expectations.

they are looking to others to confirm accepted behaviors. Without a proper mentor,
a Marine may choose a negative role model simply because of a dominant
personality.

opinion of both the command and the leadership. If Marines are continually
exposed to such an environment, their standards will begin to suffer as their
expectations and sense of accomplishment dwindle.
INSUFFICIENT DISCIPLINE - ANSWER Discipline is degraded when
commands relax standards, whether traditional customs or published regulations.
All Marines are responsible for and capable of enforcing good discipline.
