The squared away individual, Specialist Hernandez, expressed an interest in vacancies “back home”. When he was asked by Recruiter Galarza where home was, Specialist Hernandez replied the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. This caught the attention of Recruiter Galarza as he asked where in the Valley he was from to which Specialist Hernandez replied, “San Benito, Texas”. After he was explained all the benefits of the career with CBP, specifically OFO, Recruiter Galarza informed Specialist Hernandez that he too was from San Benito. After a lengthy conversation, it was revealed the Specialist Hernandez and Recruiter Galarza grew up a mile apart, graduated from San Benito High School years apart, and each of their grandfathers knew each other as they both worked the farms and fields in El Ranchito, Texas along US Military Highway 281. Specialist Hernandez’s aunt also worked as a cafeteria lady at La Encatada Elementary School where Recruiter Galarza’s mother, Sara A. Galarza, was the principal
This statement caught my attention right away when reading about the program on the Warrant Officer Recruiting Website. My training in advanced special operations and past experiences while deployed have led me to be very passionate about this. I feel very strongly that unconventional warfare is extremely effective and is the best direction for our future military engagements.
I am a fitting applicant for the Legislative Page Program for many reasons. One of them being that for the last 8 years of my school career, I’ve been actively involved in my school. I help out for sales and join many different club such as; The Forest of Reading, maker space, chess club. These extra – curricular activities have greatly developed my social skills, which would benefit me for this program. I’ve tried out for many teams and clubs in the past such as; Drama club, Volleyball team and the Robotics team. I tried out for these clubs to become an active member in my school. I do well in academics and in the arts such as music. I try to learn more about anything that I’m curious about by asking my family or my teachers.
Support: Eyewitness News conducted an undercover report and found that Colonel Manning, who is in charge of recruiting for the Northeast, commented on his recruiters saying “It’s hard to believe some of the things they are telling perspective applicants”.
For the past school year, I have looked at ASB and thought about how much I would like to be a part of the positive influence they have on the school. I would always look at all of the hard work and leadership they had and realized that ASB would be perfect for me. I feel that I would be a good fit for ASB because I have collaboration and leadership skills as presented below.
Recruitment of the United States military is a vital part of maintaining an all volunteer military force. Because of recent world events and the high operations tempo of the military, Army has had some problems with its recruitment. Convincing civilians to sign up to be a solider can be a tough job when it requires being sent 7,000 miles from home to go fight in a war zone. What can recruiters do to keep
Would you be willing to drop everything right now and join the military? Thousands of men were troubled with this question in the twentieth century. The United States draft, also called conscription, was first used during the Civil War but later used in WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Napoleon was the first general to use the modern draft. In 1940 FDR signed the Training Service Act of 1940 starting the first formal draft in the United States, but in 1973 congress decided to have an all-volunteer military. President Carter decided to resume the draft in 1980 due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Today the draft is not used but the US still requires its 18-year-old
Unfortunately, impossible tasks lead some people to do unspeakable or illegal things. The National Guard has a program that helps the every-day soldier earn some money by recruiting an individual. Each person they bring in earns them $2,000.00. Recruiters and those in the Recruiting Command are ineligible for this program. This report discusses what happens when the line is crossed. From the moment the program was implemented, there were problems. It is very difficult to catch those who act unethical. Although these individuals were caught, many are not.
Since birth, a combination of experiences forged in me a unique mindset and determination making me the ideal candidate to attend the United States Military Academy West Point. Four years of education and service as an Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) cadet, together with my service as a member of a Christian mission team, when combined with my legacy as the namesake descendant of United States Army Master Sergeant George LaVance Kyzer, Missing in Action - Chosin Reservoir, Korea, provide me with an unparalleled knowledge of the duty, service, and sacrifice becoming a member of The United States Army commands. Therefore, I am the perfect candidate to represent South Carolina as a nominee to serve this country at the level
Over the last thirteen years, the agency has experimented with ways to fund and publicize (“Cost Immigration Enforcement”). In 2008, Border Patrol decided to sponsor NASCAR at races around the country like the Subway Fit 500. At each race, they would promote the job opportunities of the Border Patrol and provide application forms in hopes of finding people who would join. NASCAR also began putting up billboards that would promote Border Patrol availabilities. The Dallas Cowboys promoted Border Patrol in television commercials across the country as well. These recruitment tactics helped the force gain more agents, overall improving security (“U.S. Border Patrol”). Not only did Border Patrol use promotion tactics like TV commercials or billboards, but they also focused these tactics towards minorities or parts of the country where some might not know of the Border Patrol job options: “We’re going down into the Southeast where we haven’t traditionally had a lot of candidates. We are hitting minority groups and trying to make them more aware of who we are”(“U.S. Border Patrol”). An example of this is in Florida. Recruiters have gone into Florida to military installations in search of veterans. These veterans are said to work better and that if they are interested in the military, immigration, and involvement, then they will be the ones who will join
The morale and welfare of the men and women that serve our country is considered one of America’s primary missions. Throughout the course of American history, the U.S. government has set forth initiatives as well as mandated laws; with efforts to provide aid and support services for members of the armed services.
11). While there is no collusion within the organization to actively exclude individuals, the constraints of widely spaced flights and completely different functionalities seem engineered to create a barrier to diversity. A barrier analysis of this hardship in getting people to all come together for diversity training and events revealed that this was based on a difficulty in aligning schedules and an agreeable location. In turn, this was a result of the 8 different locations the unit occupies around base that are separated by an average of 3 miles. The reason for this separation was determined to be the variety of jobs that are held by personnel within the organization and their need to collocate near other units to enable mission success for the unit they support. Finally, the reason that so many Defenders are holding so many different jobs is the wide support mission of the unit with many intricate components. Thus, the root cause of the barrier to diversity is the complexity of the organization and structure of the unit (BCEE, 2014b, p.
