Autobiography Of Marshall Tollie Weldon

Growing up as the son of a career Naval Officer, I have experienced a background that varies greatly from that of an applicant who has grown up in a strictly civilian family. The constant relocation, the exciting places I have lived, and the countless great, unique people I have met, have all contributed that that he unique childhood I have enjoyed. While at times my identity as a military child has made life challenging and difficult, I strongly believe that it has made me a stronger, more adaptable person because I have been molded by past experiences and I don't think that my application would be complete without this information.

Since I joined in the Navy, my goal was to make Chief Petty Officer to consider my career a successful one. At one point in my career, I was in doubt to achieve that goal due to I was a Second Class Petty Officer for eight long years. Then, in my last attempt prior to my high year tenure, I finally made First Class Petty Officer. In August 5, 2015, I left work around 0400 in the morning, because I was working night check at the time. My wife and I tried to go to sleep, but we just continue talking about “the most famous phone call”.

In September, I had the opportunity to visit the Naval Academy for a “Candidate Visit Weekend.” During my two-night visit, I was paired with a current midshipman, whom I accompanied to classes, meals, and a sports practice. Personally experiencing daily life at the Academy and meeting current midshipmen has reinforced my desire to join their ranks. The most inspiring thing about the midshipmen I met was the effort that they put into succeeding. Being a part of this culture, even for two days, has shown me that I can work just a little harder, and that I can push myself just a little further. Since returning home, I have done just that in numerous ways.

Serving the United States Military comes with many responsibilities as well as pressure and accountability. However, the military isn’t for everyone, but it offers so much for those who serve. One thing that must be known and dealt with is that this career could be a life threatening one, and there are many obstacles one must go through beforehand.

John Marshall began as a soldier who became part of George Washington?s command group. After John was discharged, he pursued his legal career with a formal education, which was quite casual at the time. He established a practice in Richmond and became very successful. Marshall was very casual yet received a reputation for being outstanding regardless of his messy look. In the late 1780?s, John was a successful member of the Richmond bar. He was known for his ability to handle cases on appeal and he was a lawyer?s lawyer. Lawyers called on him to argue their cases before high courts. He was a great interpreter of the U. S. Constitution and had a great ability to get to the heart of the

My journey to manhood has been unique, to say the least and it’s not even close to complete. I grew up in a small town in Southern Maryland and attended the local public school where I excelled in school, baseball, and football. My goals weren't lofty, until my best friend that I always looked up attended Gonzaga. I decided to visit the school and I fell in love with it immediately. From that point I had a goal to work towards and I worked harder in academics, athletics, and community service to better my chances of getting in. After getting accepted, my family and I moved to Annapolis to get closer to Gonzaga. even though we didn't know anyone in Annapolis and only one person at Gonzaga. Throughout my four years at Gonzaga I’ve made many friends and changed in many ways including getting smarter and stronger, gaining close to one hundred pounds.

I am writing the addendum to assure how suitable and perfect I am as a candidate and future Veterans Employment Representative for the One Stop Career Center in Quincy, Ma. I know there has been brought up a question with what was seen on my CORI, I am more than happy to explain this as I feel this occurrence has made me the proud man I am today. In 2012 I was discharged from active duty orders after a combat deployment to Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Coming home was an amazing feeling, however, I did not foresee any issues I would encounter upon my return. It was a very difficult for me to transition back into civilian life. I did not feel like myself, spent most of my time working and being a lone with my thoughts, for just a year before

We Are Marshall is a movie based on a real event in which 75 football players, coaches, and fans from Marshall University died in an airplane crash on November 14, 1970.

I began to pursue my military career in 1943.. I was authorized as a second lieutenant and I was positioned at Fort Riley, Kansas, and a few months later, I was engaged to Rachel Isum. Things were starting to shape up for me, but an episode caused me some grief. I relocated to Fort Hood, Texas, which was a source of racial discrimination. I boarded a bus and sat in the front, and this was a decision that did not sit well with some people. The bus driver tried to relegate me to the back, but I knew about the different discrimination laws, and this broke one of them. I also wasn’t a person who would allow injustice to be displayed. Although I hadn’t committed any crime, I was arrested. I was proven innocent, and I acquired an honorable discharge from the army in 1944.

Marshall Field was born on a farm on August 18, 1834 in Conway, MA. In his earlier years he worked on his family's farm and went to a elementary school in Conway. Once Marshall Field was 16 he became an employee at a store selling goods but retail did not come easily for Field. His first boss told him and his father that he would never be fit for retail and fired Field. He came back to the farm and worked for another couple of years but then decided to get back on his feet and try to get another job.

Having the qualifications I needed, myself and several other black soldiers applied for admission to an officer candidate school Although the guidelines for OCS had been drafted as race neutral very few were actually admitted to the OCS. As a result my application as long as my colleagues applications were delayed for several months. After many protests we were finally accepted to OCS. After finishing OCS I was commissioned as a second lieutenant in January 1943. Weeks later I was then formally engaged to Isum, the girl I had met in college. On July 6th, 1944 my military career came to an end. While waiting for results of a hospital test for a hurt ankle i was boarding an army bus with a fellow officials wife. Although these buses were supposed to be unsegregated the bus driver told me to go to the back of the bus. But i refused to do so and the military police then took me into custody. After my discharge from the military I accepted a job offer from an old friend to be an athletic director at Sam Hutson College in Austin. On the job I was able to coach the school's basketball team where I was respected as a disciplinarian coach and drew the admiration among others in the community and on the

Since January 2014, I have retired from the military/federal government position where I spent 36 plus years with 20-plus years in leadership positions. I was trained and performed duties in Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) position as Facility Manager, Carpentry/Brick Mason Specialist, Supply, Light Wheel Vehicle Mechanic, Instructor and Human Resources

I went to Basic Combat Training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina where I was molded into a United States soldier. After completion of BCT, I went on to Advanced Individual Training located at Fort Lee, Virginia where I was awarded the military occupational specialty of a Unit Supply Specialist (92Y). My first duty station was at Camp Casey, Korea, 210 Fires Brigade where I served as a supply clerk, CBRN NCOIC and commander’s driver. My next duty station was at Fort Bliss, Texas, 3rd Brigade 1st Armored division where I served as a supply NCOIC, armorer, and PBO

My cheese disappeared when I graduated high school. I knew there was a nice hunk of cheese waiting for me in the Navy, but I decided to follow the corridor to Virginia Tech’s cheese! Eventually, that cheese ran out and I enlisted in the Navy. For the past eight years I have enjoyed the everlasting cheese provided by the Navy, but since my time overseas I have sensed the cheese is running out. Just as Hem and Haw became complacent when they initially found their cheese, I was complacent with the Navy. I always figured I was going to retire with at least twenty years in the Navy, and was content with my current situation. I have had a steady paycheck, stable job, and support for my family, so there was positive justification for my complacency. Life has strange ways of making waves, and even though we may not like it we need to accept the change or be left behind to wither away. When we are accustomed to having our cheese, we must be careful not to feel entitled or victimized as Hem did. When I first sensed I might not stay in the Navy, it was an uneasy feeling. Routine and comfort have provided me with a security blanket over responsibility and change. I know nothing of the civilian world and figured I could put it off for many more years, but have come to the realization I need to prepare myself now. Thankfully, I completed my Bachelor’s degree
