the corp. would claim when they served aboard ship, they should follow the rule of the navy, and when they served the army, follow the regulations of the army, and in 1832, they are a proposerly separate service inside the navy. >> host: how did the mission change in 1832? >> guest: it didn't change much then. they were something of jack of all trades doing other jobs as well. most often receiverring as landing parties when the navy would send sailors and ma reaps ashore on punitive expeditions, marines always would participate in that. in the start of the 20th century, they took on colonial infantry in haiti, philippines, and then just before world war ii, they started creating amphibious landing forces, landing against defended islands. >> host: what was the marine corp.'s reputation throughout history? >> guest: not very good.?? quite honestly, everybody thinks about the corp. today as the?? most elite of the major armed?? services, and that's been?? validated by numerous polls over t

but the corps realized it could not really let this happen. the economies of baton rouge and new orleans depend on the river for its fresh water, for its commerce, its transportation. industries all up and down the river use the fresh water in their processing. in its continuing search for the shortest route to the sea, the mississippi has found a comrade. at one time a mere trickle compared to the mississippi, the atchafalaya is now a mighty predator, the mississippi-- a willing prey. the fight to control the mississippi has escalated from a battle into a war. approximately 150 miles north of new orleans, these two rivers have come perilously close together, linked by an abandoned loop of the mississippi called old river. the atchafalaya offers the mississippi a route to the gulf that is 175 miles shorter than its present course. the corps of engineers realized there was a potential problem with the atchafalaya capturing the mississippi back in the 1950s. a gentleman by the name of fisk, who was a geologist, did a report for the corps of engi

for many years, national corp. always is a dynamic factor -- cooperation is always a dynamic factor. and the economic and trade relations is also under way because of this dynamic factor. we believe that through all the -- this is becoming more important. china and the chinese government attaches great importance to national corp. and to state corporation and city corp. -- cooperation between the two countries. this time, i am leading a delegation consisting of 100 people. my main purpose or one of my main purposes is to promote the financial, economic and trade relations at the national level. we hope our visit or my visit this time will promote the cooperation between the industry -- ministry of commerce, the state and government of california, and the municipal government of san francisco. this time, the delegation at lead -- i lead, the people are from different places in china. they come from the ministry of commerce, from the local government, from different provinces, they come from the chamber of commerce,

we greatly respect navy, marine corps and guard safety policy. cal fire has an aviation policy as well. we work cooperatively with the agencies here at the table to ensure when we are engaged in an aerial fire fighting event we are working within each other's policies. we have trained in a work around, we can do close air support with navy and marine corps aircraft, with the current system we have. would we like to improve upon it? absolutely. we have gone very high up in the organization to try and look at getting the r210 radio modified to the point where it can work on our vhf spectrums, that's one of our challenges we need to move forward with. but overall we're confident when we do call upon dod assets to integrate with civilian aircraft, the training regimen we put forth will keep aircrews safe and also have them be effective. there was a lot of questions from a political level as well as a public level. you've got aircraft sitting at north island, just launch them, get them in the fight. it was hard to explain to them that that's a very de

with the marine corps training on top of that, you know, it's the same thing in the marine corps. they just pounded him you even more. how did i not die that day? i don't know. i can't even begin to tell you. i do not know how i didn't die that day. every day that we have to live on is a bonus day. if you go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning, that's a bonus. we always worry about tomorrow when we just get through today. thank you. >> assad. >> you know, i don't ever want them to look back at me and say, oh, you made me do this, i don't want the guilt on my hands is something that happens to them. saying hey, i push you into this. i will give them the fact that they need to know so they can make their own decisions. that is all we can do. you can never make anyone's mind up for them. if you don't go to college, i do recommend going into the military. and i'm going to say the marines, of course, because i'm biased. [laughter] >> yes, ma'am? >> no, i don't. she said i'm not wearing my mail today. do i ever were? no, i do not. the only time i where it is when i am required

and then with the marine corps training on top of it, and the same thing in the marine corps.y father taught me all the way up to the marine corps, and then they just point it into you even more. how did i not die that day? i don't know. but i didn't, and there's a reason. and every day that we have to live on is a bonus day. if you go to sleep tonight and you wake up in the morning, that's a bonus day. and we as humans are getting to a point to where we feel like we're entitled, we're entitled stuff, we're entitled to tomorrow. well, guess what? we're not entitled to anything, and that's the thing we've got the remember. every day's a bonus day. why worry about the unknown? we all worry so much about tomorrow when why don't we just get through today? so, but there was a lot of luck too. it was so many combinations, but thank you. yes, ma'am. >> [inaudible] >> do whatever they want. you know, it's their own decision because i don't ever want them to look back at me and say, well, you know, you made me do this. i don't want the guilt on my hands if something bad happens to them

some enlisted in the marine corps. on june 18th, 2006, which i want to let you know is a date that i will never forget, i shipped off to paris island and this is where i would spend my 18th birthday. happy birthday, right? but it's not really as bad as the next three birthdays because my 19th birthday i was in sniper school hell week. my 20th birthday i was in hell week of sniper school mountain training in bridgeport, california. so i had a lot of good birthdays piffling parris island, i was shipped off to north carolina where it completed the infantry training. after that, i went off to hawaii where i would be stationed the next four years. and this is where i also attended sniper school. so, after attending sniper school i quickly shipped off to iraq. and in iraq i didn't get to complete my tour because i was bitten on my right hand by a vicious slider and i actually suffered severe nerve damage plan to let everyone in the room know that the enemy will stop at nothing. they even train the spiders to bite us.

(narrator) world war ii saw the advent of professional combat camera. for the first time audiences regularly viewed combat footage in the weekly movie newsreels. my first combat was tarowa in the pacific. (norm hatch) it was probably the first time there was a photo effort to provide the marine corps with training information on what actually happens in combat. sergeant hatch went in with the first wave on the landing at tarowa armed with a pistol and camera. brought back a film of the fighting on that island that looks like it was taken to a front-line gunfight. (norm hatch) i was lucky enough to get the only film of the enemy fighting against u.s. forces taken during the whole war. here's one of them. here's a squad of them.

we'll continue to focus on growing citi corp.'businesses, particularly those where we have a unique presence in the world's fastest growing markets. we'll remain focus the on shedding the remaining assets in and minimizing any negative financial impact in citi holdings. that is and will remain a priority of ours and in particular of mine, as you know i had responsibility for managing holdings until this year. critical to the ongoing execution of our strategy across both citi corp. and citi holdings, we'll remain extraordinarily focused on our efficiency ratios and overall expense levels. citi is an extraordinary organization with tremendously talented people, a unique global presence, and a historic franchise that we will continue to honor. our strategy is unique and well positioned for where we see the world going. i look forward to taking on the challenge of continuing what vikram started. with that, mike and i are happy to answer any questions. >> at this time, if you would like to ask a question, press star followed by the num

we work closely with cal guard, navy and marine corps aviation. we do that with squadron training. still have khal lefrpg wills, i'm not going to lie to you. we have issues where tactical to air communication is difficult. cal guard, we purchased the radios for national guard aircraft and they installed them in their aircraft so we have robust communications with california national guard, with navy and marine corps it's still a work in progress. we have a work around with that with respect to tactical communications and we use coordinating helicopters to handle air to ground tactical situations and that is relayed to the aircraft that are in trail. it's not perfect but it's a work around and it keeps everybody in the fight. >> prior to 20011 2011 the navy fire fighting capability was concentrated in one squadron. in 2011 it began to expand to other helicopter squadrons. one consequence of that would be multiple squadrons providing aircraft to cal fire to support the fire fighting effort and one somewhat simple but very effective solution was the use of defense connect on line, the
