Description

Equipping a Marine doesn’t
only mean gear. Marines need grit, resilience and above all else: paperwork.
Let’s be honest, paperwork is at the heart of any government or military
organization, and ensuring a Marine has their records and documentation in order
is critical to their career and mission success. Admin officers are often the
unsung heroes of a Command.

Manpower officers plan,
track, monitor, coordinate, and distribute permanent manpower assets to meet
staffing goals. They are behind the scenes ensuring Marines and Sailors are
ready to serve when the Nation calls.

On this episode, we take a
behind-the-scenes look into how a command functions with Staff Secretary for
Marine Corps Systems Command, Capt. Billy Barefoot.
