When a Sgt. Major of the Marine Corps speaks - people listen. So it was when the Marines' top enlisted man, Sgt. Maj. Carlton Kent, sat down with Marine Corps Times to weigh in on some of the day's important issues. Kent is a 32-year veteran of the Marines who served in Iraq in 2004.

Kent sat down for an interview with the paper and spoke on issues ranging from the GI Bill to HBO's new miniseries Generation Kill, which focuses on recon Marines during the initial invasion of Iraq. Here is a snapshot of some of what Kent said:

• The goal is still to have 14 months of dwell time for every seven months of deployment
• Two of the Corp's biggest priorities remain combat and the state of the Marine family
• New programs coming soon include the Combat Fitness Test and changes to the Body Composition Program
• The Corps needs to give NCOs as much responsibility in garrison as they have in combat
• He didn't like Generation Kill; it didn't portray the Marine Corps he knew
• On the new GI Bill, he takes a wait-and-see approach
• Despite a spat of recent motorcycle accidents, the Corps can't ban Marines from buying bikes

In speaking about the marine family, Kent gave a nod to military spouses everywhere and the important role they play, when he said: "Our families are as important as ever. They're supporting the Marine, they're going through quite a bit and they're sacrificing so much. So, the commandant has refocused millions of dollars back into family support." Go here for the full interview.

One important educational resource for military spouses is military distance learning courses and military spouse scholarships. It's hoped that by offering more aid for military spouses that the consequences will ultimately be more jobs for military spouses.
