Week 11: UC Davis @ Eastern Washington It has been 243 years for the United States Marine Corps as they celebrate their birthday today.
Leadership lessons from General James "Mad Dog" Mattis.
Of note, General Mattis was born in Pullman, WA and raised in Richland only two short hours Southwest of Cheney. The "Warrior Monk" enlisted in the USMC in 1969, was commissioned a second lieutenant after graduating from Central Washington University with a degree in history. CWU is hanging on to Division II football...playing Humboldt State, Western Oregon and Azusa Pacific each twice a year during the regular season.
No kids and never married, General Mattis has devoted his entire life to the study of war.
I have a feeling some of those lessons would come in handy today in Cheney.
