    NT1310 Unit 6 Exercise 1

    On a TWISTED PAIR CABLE I chose to install an RJ-45. This is the standard Ethernet connector for most systems used today. I would first measure out the length of cable that I would need. I would then use a wire cutter to cut the length that I need, leaving enough room for corrections and to open the wire. I would then use wire strippers to remove a small piece of the outer most jacket. I would then choose what connection I wanted to make (568A or 568B). I would then untwist the wires and put them in the correct color order that I need. Then I would flatten out the wires and in one hand hold my RJ-45 connector and then with the other hand feed the wires into the connector. This is usually pretty simple with the way the connectors are made, and they are also usually clear. After I’m sure that the wires are in the connector all the way, and in the right order, I would use a wire crimper to clamp the wires securely into the connector.…

    Marine Corps Grooming Standards

    Marine Corps grooming standards are in place to conform Marines to a singular uniform look. They keep us from being too eccentric and while in Garrison they help us to keep a professional look about us at all times. They keep us from just “looking like everyone else,” and help us to stay a cut above the rest. The hair cut regulations are stated as an even fade from 0 to no more than 3” on the top of the head as long as the hair doesn’t interfere with any uniform article. There can be no eccentric designs or anything shaved into one’s head. For females the hair must be wrapped in a tight bun in the center of the back of the head not to exceed 3 inches from the scalp and be no wider than the width of one’s head. Females can wear bangs but they can’t fall into the line of sight and can’t affect the wearing of any headgear. For both male and female bleaches tints dyes are authorized as long as they give a natural appearance. No Marine will be required to shave his chest hair but it cannot protrude from the skivvy shirt collar or while in khakis. Marines must have a clean shave with the exception of a mustache which may not extend past the corners of the lips and must remain within the margin of the upper lip. Mustache hair when fully extended my not extend past half of an inch. Marines are allowed to have sideburns but they may not extend past the top of the upper orifice of the ear and may be no longer than one eighth of an inch. Hair may not be shaped in a “horse-shoe” on the head and no Mohawks are authorized. No Marine shall be required to shave their head with the exception of at basic training. Finger nails must be kept clean and may not interfere with regular duties; they may not extend past the finger tips either.

    The Importance of Gear Accountability

    Keeping track of gear is always a must. If the time comes that you have a pause in your patrols, raids, or movements it is always a good decision to take a quick check to make sure that you have your Marine Corps issued gear as well as everything else that you or your team has brought with you on your mission. It is the job of not only yourself but also your fellow Marines to take responsibility and check not only your gear but the gear of the other Marines. In the line of duty if the enemy obtains pieces of gear from your squad it would endanger the Marines in your squad and fellow armed force members that may come after you. To add the units and individual Marines to whom this gear is issued are held accountable for maintaining them. Losing a piece of gear could have repercussions ranging from payment…
