Brig. Gen. Matthew Glavy reads an excerpt from Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication 1-Warfighting to the Marines graduating from the Squadron Intelligence Training Certificate Course aboard Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., Oct. 21, 2016. The course was designed for intelligence Marines to give them a more in-depth look at how to operate in their job field aboard air stations in the Marine Corps. “Your job is not always about doing things right; it’s also about doing the right thing,” said Glavy. “You can do something to the best of your ability, but is it ultimately in the best interest of achieving our goals? That is why this course is in place; to ensure that we do the right things, for the right reasons.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mackenzie Gibson/Released) - Brig. Gen.
