The end is near Signs, books, and movies predict it. What do the
scriptures say about end-times? How can we decipher the clues
written about wild beasts, vague symbols, false teachers, and
mysterious timelines? In the beginning, God created the universe.
2000 years ago He handed the deed of the earth to His Son. In the
End, Jesus will return to reign over the world as King of Kings and
Lord of Lords. What happens in between? This book digs into the Old
and New Testament and demystifies the apocalyptic writing in the
book of Revelation. Hundreds of sources and thousands of scriptures
are quoted to explain the end-time prophecies and when they occur.
Tables and photos simplify the information to stimulate thinking
and reasoning. Perhaps you have nibbled at Revelation and other
prophecy books in the past but came away with more questions than
answers. Would you like to sink your teeth into the meat of
scripture and understand its meaning? If so, this book is for you
Generals Lewis Walt, Raymond Davis, and Lieutenant General Victor
Krulak had highly successful Marine Corps careers beginning with
their commissioning in the 1930s. The purpose of this monograph is
to examine their development as young officers from
pre-commissioning until they assumed battalion command and to
identify common trends potentially applicable to the Marine Corps
officer procurement and development system today. The methodology
for this study included a review of the officers' Official Marine
Corps personal records, interviews, and a document search at the
United States Marine Corps' Archives, History Division and the
Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. The research examines the
pre-commissioning education, activities and experiences of each
officer prior to joining the Marine Corps, their wide and varied
experiences as young officers in the operational forces, and the
impact of mentorship on the officers' early careers. The officers
commissioned in the 1930s benefited from several characteristics
that are different from today's newly commissioned officers. First,
they had a wide range of experiences prior to commissioning,
including military experience in the Reserve Officer Training Corps
or the National Guard. Second, their first tours in the operating
forces provided them with a multitude of opportunities to lead
Marines both in the United States and abroad. Finally, due to the
small size of the officer corps, and the nature of the service, a
very active, yet informal mentoring network not only guided the
young officers, but also provided them opportunities. This
monograph contains three specific recommendations for the Marine
Corps in the development of junior officers. First, the Marine
Corps needs to improve the formal aspects of developing junior
officers through a refocus and re-emphasis of the Supplemental MOS
program and an implementation of a pathway for young officers to
observe units in action prior to them assuming their first

expose young officers to the responsibilities and duties from
marines who are veterans of the current environment. Third,
increase the senior officers' and staff non-commissioned officers'
education and awareness of the importance of mentoring to the
development of junior officers and encourage the development of
meaningful mentoring relationships between the junior and senior
officers.
