00:00.588 --> 00:02.147
(hard rock music)

00:02.147 --> 00:03.961
(gunshots)

00:05.299 --> 00:06.849
- Welcome to the Corps report.

00:06.849 --> 00:08.224
I'm Corporal Clayton Filipowicz.

00:08.224 --> 00:09.806
- And I'm Corporal Ally Beiswanger.

00:09.806 --> 00:12.224
Let's kick it off with a breaking story.

00:12.224 --> 00:14.457
Infantry Marines are now able to take part

00:14.457 --> 00:16.198
in a new squad leader development program.

00:16.198 --> 00:18.070
- [Filipowicz] The program was designed to put the most

00:18.070 --> 00:20.871
qualified Marines on track to become infantry squad leaders

00:20.871 --> 00:23.309
with their own MOS of 0365.

00:23.309 --> 00:25.990
The Marines selected for the program will attend training

00:25.990 --> 00:27.973
and be assigned an infantry squad leader billet.

00:28.899 --> 00:30.572
- [Beiswanger] Infantry corporals and sergeants

00:30.572 --> 00:32.712
with three to five years time in service and five years

00:32.712 --> 00:35.452
of obligated service remaining on their contract are eligible.

00:35.883 --> 00:37.114
- If you're watching on YouTube,

00:37.114 --> 00:38.838
click the link in the video description to learn more.

00:38.838 --> 00:41.702
- Effective January 1st, 2015,

00:41.702 --> 00:44.021
service members are prohibited from allotting pay

00:44.021 --> 00:46.433
to buy, lease, or rent personal property.

00:46.433 --> 00:48.128
- The Department of Defense created the rule

00:48.128 --> 00:50.666
in an effort to protect service 
members from dishonest companies.

00:50.666 --> 00:53.452
So although existing allotments won't be affected,

00:53.452 --> 00:55.527
service members won't be able to make new allotments

00:55.527 --> 00:56.813
for a number of purchases.

00:56.813 --> 00:58.867
- He means those Marines out there who think

00:58.867 --> 01:01.766
it's a good idea to pay 40% interest on a Mustang

01:01.766 --> 01:05.434
will no longer be able to allot pay for their sweet cars and Xbox's.

01:05.434 --> 01:07.937
- (groaning) But I got such a good deal!

01:07.937 --> 01:10.989
Fifteen more payments and I've got myself a Nintendo-64.

01:10.989 --> 01:12.927
- (laughs) Are you serious?

01:12.927 --> 01:15.718
Household goods, rent, and electronics

01:15.718 --> 01:17.009
are also off limits for allotments.

01:17.009 --> 01:18.332

01:20.863 --> 01:22.691
- The holidays are right around the corner,

01:22.691 --> 01:24.483
so you know what that means.

01:24.483 --> 01:26.078
Toys for Tots.
- Peppermint mochas.

01:27.041 --> 01:27.707
- What?

01:27.707 --> 01:29.310
- (clears throat) I meant your thing.

01:29.879 --> 01:31.908
For those of you who want to spread holiday cheer,

01:31.908 --> 01:34.171
the Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots program

01:34.171 --> 01:36.164
is collecting new, unwrapped toys for

01:36.164 --> 01:37.845
less fortunate children in the community.

01:37.845 --> 01:39.963
- Donate to a Toys for Tots event near you

01:39.963 --> 01:42.448
or visit toysfortots.org for more information.

01:42.448 --> 01:44.674
- We'll be taking off for the rest of the year,

01:44.674 --> 01:46.259
but we'll be back January 15th.

01:46.259 --> 01:48.696
Stay safe over the holidays, and remember,
