Due to sequestration and other budget cuts, numbers of staff non-commisioned officers have dropped in the Marine Corps. The number of Marines might go from 184,000 to 174,000 Marines by the end of 2017, according to Pentagon personnel statistics. The Marine Corps offers resources to keep SNCO’s in the fight such as career planners, career counselors and the SNCO Academy. With the ever increasing competitiveness to achieve the next rank, it is important to document Letters of Appreciation, Certificates of Commendations and Navy Achievement Medals early in your career, according to Sgt. Maj. Jonathan Henry, the director of the Okinawa SNCO Academy. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Devon Tindle/Released)
