A Soldier's Athletic Career

This choice crossed my mind on my thirteenth birthday when my mom asked me where I was going to college at. I then told her I wasn’t going to school after high school. My dad proceeded to say, “How the hell are you going to make a living without going to college?” That’s when, just a shot out of the dark, I randomly said “I’m going to be a marine.” That’s

The most decorated and costly war in American history was World War II. Everyone understands the atomic bomb, Hitler rise to power, but many people do not know some American history during the war. The history of our sport world, it changed how people viewed and watched it. During the war many people were drafted into the war to help fight, like the fittest and strongest of athletes. Since many players were disbanded from their major sports like Jackie Robison or Del Bork, it changed how people look at this era in sports.

Since I was three years old, I knew that I wanted to go into the military, specifically the Army. I can remember attending a karate match and before the match, they asked me, “What do you want to be when you get older.” And I replied,” I want to be a soldier.” When I was applying to high schools, I ran across a school called Fork Union Military Academy. My first thought was why I

CYCLE OF THE INFANTRYMAN by LCPL BACH, GEORGE The Cycle of the Infantryman applies to fire and maneuver for a combat element. For example purposes the buddy team will be our combat element and a static enemy position (e.g. bunker) will be the target. The phases of the cycle are SHOOT, ASSESS, MOVE, AND KILL. The cycle may loop until there is no longer an enemy threat or until target position is gained. The following is a break down of each phase.

Career Goals I have told everyone growing up that I knew wanted to be a soldier in the Army one day. They all said that I wanted to be just like my dad but I have always felt it was something I just wanted to do for myself. Going on tours of training sites as a kid only fueled my passion for becoming a soldier, and serving in the Army. When I was17 years old I went to basic training on a split option program

I suppose if I did stick it out and go into the military, I would probably go into the Navy or Coast Guard to avoid the front lines. I would have a higher chance of making it through the war unscathed. Only 2570 men died in the Navy during Vietnam and only seven in the Coast Guard. On one hand, they would pay for me to go to college but on the other hand none of that matters if I don’t come back from the

An American Professional Soldier is proficient, a volunteer specialized in the Profession of Arms, attached with companions in a shared personality and ethos of sacrifice and service to the country and the Constitution, who abide by the utmost moral values and is an overseer of the future of the Army

Upon graduation from high school, I decided that I would take forth a sacrifice for my country and enlist in the United States military. The year was 2005 and the United States was in the midst of a war on multiple fronts. My service to my country lasted for approximately eight years and ended in May of 2013. I had served in two deployments overseas during our time at war and looked at life in a new way. It wasn’t until joining the Manhattan Jaguars youth football program in 2012, that football would once again become a passion in my mind.

I am going to be in the military when I get older. I will be in the marine corps. And being in the military will give me free food and money very month. My dad was in the marine corps and I thought it would be fun to go into war. My mom is in the army so I thought I could continue the tradition. My dad never ran out of money and it would be smart for me to join. If you were to join it will change your life. It will get you in shape and help you with money in the future.

In the event, any Soldier provides you information that another Soldier has stated they were sexually assaulted it is imperative to take the matter seriously as it could be detrimental to the cohesion and readiness of your team and unit. It is very important for us as leaders to know

Being able to live the Army’s ethic is becoming ever so difficult with budget and personnel cuts which is bringing down the morale of the organization. Leaders are facing challenges to balance the organization to do more work with less personnel. The first way strategic leaders are working to create balance is defining the role of strategic leaders, the sergeants major, colonels, and general officers in the four fields of expertise (listed above) and our operational future (Army White Paper, page 9). The second area we must balance is the Army’s culture and climate and its institutional practices. With the “do more with less” mindset, leaders are facing a hardship retaining the hard charging Soldiers the organization is looking for. We need to create a balance at all echelons that creates commitment, satisfaction and the well-being of our Soldiers and their families. If a Soldier wants to make the military a lifelong career, strategic leaders must set controls in place for Soldier development, evaluation, certification, and duty assignments to motivate professionals as the Army’s culture evolves.

I have wanted to go into the military since i was very young. Most children say that they want to be a firefighter or a doctor, but i said that i wanted to be in the military. I remeber looking at pictures and learning about military officers and i felt called to be one of those men. My decision and dreams never changed, as most childrens do when they realize the work required. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, my desire of a miltary life never wavered. Both of my parents' fathers served in the military, one n the Air Force and one in the Army. They told me stories of their days in the military, bragging of their different branhes and I took what they said and choose a school that woud lead to a career in neither of their branches.

In 9th grade, the first year I moved to florida, the middle school I went to was Jenkins middle school. I didn't join any clubs or any activities but there was one thing that stood out to me. I noticed these kids wearing this military like uniform. I never had the chance to ask but i made sure when i got to high school, i would figure out what it was you had to do to get that uniform. In 9th grade I found out what the program was. I learned it was called JROTC and I immediately caught interest because the kids just looked so good and I was also very much interested in the branch. Now, at that point, I did not consider the military but by the middle of the year I got my least interesting elective changed for JROTC. Even though the class was

This study examines the well-being of veterans that are involved in recreational activities outside of a hospital setting. The participants in the study were suffering from the side effects of combat trauma, PTSD, and physical injuries. A systematic review was done to identify articles that provided research on the impact of sports and physical activity in combat veterans. Eleven studies were used to complete the study. The results of the study indicated that the soldiers who participated in sports and physical activity demonstrated increased coping skills, a sense of achievement, social well-being, and an overall increase in their quality of life. The benefits of including sports and recreational activities in the combat veterans overall

For as long I can remember, I have always wanted to be a soldier of the US Army. As I grew up, I heard stories from my family members about their life in the military. I had completely idolized my cousin while growing up, and when she enlisted it only strengthened my resolve to do the same. You could say serving in the military is in my blood, family, and future.
