Incumbent General Glenn M. Walters since August 2, 2016
Formation
April 29, 1911
First holder
Eli K. Cole
The Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps (ACMC) is the second highest-ranking officer in the United States Marine Corps, and serves as a deputy for the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC). Before 1946, the title was known as Assistant to the Commandant.
The Assistant Commandant is nominated for appointment by the President and must be confirmed via majority vote by the Senate. In the event that the Commandant is absent or is unable to perform his duties, the Assistant Commandant assumes the duties and responsibilities of the Commandant. For this reason, the Assistant Commandant is appointed to a rank equal to the sitting Commandant; since 1971, each Assistant Commandant has been, by statute, a four-star general, making it the most common rank held among Marines serving this position. Additionally, he may perform other duties that the CMC assigns to him.[1] Historically, the Assistant Comandant has served for two to three years. In recent decades, the Assistant Commandant has frequently been a Marine aviator. James F. Amos is the first aviator to serve as Assistant Commandant and then be promoted to Commandant.
The 34th and current Assistant Commandant is Glenn M. Walters,[2] who took office on 4 August 2016, when John M. Paxton Jr. retired. The first Marine to hold the billet as "Assistant to the Commandant" was Eli K. Cole (Allen H. Turnage being the last), while Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr. was the first to hold it as the "Assistant Commandant". Then–Lieutenant General Glenn M. Walters was nominated on 7 June 2016 to succeed Paxton as Assistant Commandant; at the time, he was serving as Deputy Commandant for Programs and Resources.[3]

Assistants to the Commandant of the Marine Corps[edit]
Before the official title of "Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps" was adopted in 1946, the title of the position was known as the "Assistant to the Commandant" and before 1918, known only as "Duty in the Office of the Commandant". No records exist before the outbreak of World War I about this position, possibly because the Commandant likely had only administrative staff and no deputy.[4]
The first Assistant to the Commandant was Lieutenant Colonel (from 1914 Colonel) Eli K. Cole, who assumed the position on April 29, 1911. From April 29, 1911 to October 16, 1946, 19 men were assigned to assist the commandant, including five who later became Commandant: John A. Lejeune, Wendell C. Neville, Ben H. Fuller, John H. Russell Jr., and Alexander A. Vandegrift.[4]

Assistant Commandants of the Marine Corps[edit]
In 1946, Congress established the position of "Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps" and since then, 31 men have held the position. Major General Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr. was the first to hold the billet and went on to become Commandant, as well as six others: Randolph M. Pate, Leonard F. Chapman Jr., Robert H. Barrow, Paul X. Kelley, James F. Amos and Joseph Dunford.[4]
As with the Commandant, the Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps is appointed by the President based on advice and consent of the Senate and, once appointed, will be promoted to the grade of general. The duties of the Assistant Commandant include such authority and duties as the Commandant – and with the approval of the Secretary of the Navy – may delegate to or prescribe for him. Orders issued by the Assistant Commandant in performing such duties have the same effect as those issued by the Commandant. When there is a vacancy in the office of Commandant of the Marine Corps, or during the absence or disability of the Commandant, the Assistant Commandant shall perform the duties of the Commandant until a successor is appointed or the absence or disability ceases.[1]

How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point? While looking into the better indicator of how miserable it feels outside, either dew point or relative humidity, I came across this statement: The optimum combination for human comfort is a dewpoint of about 60 F and a RH of between 50 and 70% (this would put the temperature at about 75 F). Source: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/190/ This led me to this calculator that will calculate the temperature given relative humidity and dew point - for example a dew point of 70 degrees F and a relative humidity of 90% results in a temperature of 73.11 degrees F. The web site for this calculator says the values are based on the August-Roche-Magnus approximation and gives the following equation to calculate temperature: $T =243.04 Large fracfrac17.625 TD243.04+TD-lnleft(fracRH100right)17.625+lnleft(fracRH100right)- frac17.625 TD243.04+TD$ Given the equation I'm still having a hard time figuring out...
I have a recursive function to validate tree graph and need a return condition I have a tree graph. Each node has attribute 'amount'. The rule governing the attribute value of root is this, The root 'amount' value is the sum of the 'amount' attribute of each of it's children. This continues to the last node with children. In other words this tree's attributes are unlike a sum tree, because the root node is not the sum of each node in the tree. Here is a toy example as graph G: nodedict = 'apples': 'amount': 5.0, 'bananas': 'amount': 10.0, 'tomato': 'amount': 50.0, 'total_fruits': 'amount': 15.0, 'total_vegetables': 'amount': 9.0, 'carrot': 'amount': 3.0, 'squash': 'amount': 6.0, 'total_fruits_and_vegetables': 'amount': 74.0 edgelist = [('total_fruits', 'apples'), ('total_fruits', 'bananas...
