Integrity- Integrity is the basing of ones actions on an internally consistent framework of principles. Depth of principles and adherence of each level to the next are key factors. One is said to have integrity to the extent that everything one does is derived from the same core set values. While each other and with the persons actions that determine the person’s integrity. Integrity is the act of doing the right thing when no body’s is watching. For example, if Lcpl Smith is at the PX and the cashier gives him more money back then he should have got and Lcpl Smith corrects the cashier and gives them back the money, Lcpl Smith just should integrity. An example of not having integrity would be if Lcpl Smith on his way to work knew there was a way around all the traffic but instead of taking that faster way, he went through all the traffic just so he wouldn’t have to go right to work and told his Cpl that he got stuck in traffic.
Trust- Trust is the make or break between a relationship with someone and something. If you trust someone you have confidence that the person will do anything you tell him to do or what he says he will do. Trust doesn’t just happen; you must build trust with anything or anyone you encounter. How you build trust is never fail at something someone tells you to do. You can also lose trust with something or someone. For example, if lcpl Smith’s Cpl told him he wanted Lcpl Smith to PT after work because Lcpl Smith is having a hard time while on platoon runs and after 2 weeks Lcpl Smith still hasn’t gotten any better the Cpl knows that Lcpl Smith failed him then lost trust with his Marine. Another example would be when a kid is learning to ride a bike and keeps falling off the bike the kid will lose trust in himself that he can learn to ride his bike.
How integrity and trust affects the Military- without integrity the military would not be where it is now. Integrity is the key element in Military
