Dear whoever may discover this in the near future; on the unforgiving battle front I fear that the mindset of the unimaginable rejection of death will eventually break me hence this writing; a check of reality. One may spends countless hours dedicating praying and wishing of the forgiveness of a greater entity, regardless of your contributions to the humanity which now can be deemed nugatory , confronting a living hell had almost became routinary. The muffled scream of “medic!” competes with the continuous battle cry of artilleries and rifle rounds, perfuse my bloodstream with adrenaline. Fabricating a false sense of urgency, deep down in my heart I’ve came to acceptance that my responsibility was not to offers medical assistances but rather …show more content…
I was embarrassed , embarrassed of my incompetence and current unemployed status. And there it was, at the time what appears to be a poster of endless opportunities, I observed as if it was displayed on a podium, the text echoed in my head as I read thoroughly. “ Join your Country's army, God save the king.” Optimistically like countless others I visualized a golden opportunity, marching in unison, standing at ease right in front of king George the fife himself, my success was reassured due to my medicine background. That was my first mistake, I conceptualized a false reality of what I could be. Some time passed, I was eager to hear the approval of my long anticipated deployment, September 15 1916 at North Central Somme. I beg my mother farewell and promised to return with a fortune. Upon arrival I experienced an epiphany that is reality, the air stench of feces and black powder, quagmires scared the lackluster barren mud fields that stretched over the horizon and beyond, echos of agonizing pain lingered with each ground shaking explosion. This was
Is it right that Donald Trump bans Transgenders that have the capability to fight and train like everyone else? Serving for the military is a great opportunity that has been taken away from Transgenders, that deserve that opportunity, and here’s three reasons that Transgenders should be able to serve. Three reasons why Transgenders should stay in the military are they shouldn’t be kicked out and deployed out of the military despise their gender. The military will lose approximately 15,000 active troops that were doing an amazing job at serving our country. Finally, because the Donald Trump claims that the medical cost is too much, but training and getting troops up to readiness standards will cost more money.
I am very persistent. Once I set my mind to something, I strive for it until I achieve it or it has proved impossible for me to obtain my goal. It was once my goal to join the Army. Although I was overweight, I worked until I made the correct weight limit and kept trying to join until they told me I couldn't join because I had eczema as a child. I believe that I should always try my hardest and do my best as much as possible in every situation.
Ideal- The Marines Embody more of my personal views and ideals then the other branches of the armed services.
There are lots of ways to further your education. Most everyone instantly thinks about college as the next step in their education after high school. Some people just simply aren’t ready for college yet, or do not think that it is their thing. The next thing people consider is to join the workforce out of highschool. That is not always the best idea because you do not get any education by doing so. A better way to further your education would be to join the military. The military can give you education in things that no college is able to, help with expenses (including helping pay for college while you serve), and has an interesting daily lifestyle that is unique and different than college would be. The job I want to do in the military is to
The reason why I want to attend the U.S. Service Academies is not only the goldmine of opportunity I will receive of an educational standpoint including benefits, but also the enrichment of character and self-development, into becoming one of the nation's most exemplary citizens through attending a military academy.
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.
Every day, there are American citizens who risk their lives for the sake of their country's safety. Men and women who believe that justice, peace, and equality should be served. However, within their beliefs, some choose to exclude transgender individuals who have the same rights and freedoms. The American society considers the world to be progressively changing and growing, however, seem to forget that in order for the military to survive the 21st century, diversity is crucial. Although the medical costs may raise the overall healthcare median per year, transgender individuals should have the right to serve in the U.S. armed forces because any human being who meets the physical qualifications and has a willing attitude should have the right to serve.
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
Less than one percent of all Americans are enlisted in the military. An even smaller percentage of high school students are enlisted. Students are thought to be incompetent, and not mature enough to decide on enlisting in the military. However, students should be allowed to join the military. The military offers many benefits students can use to help their future. The protection of our country is not overlooked for recruits; they are awarded many personal benefits as well. Tuition assistance, job training, and many benefits that help prepare recruits for occupations while enlisted. Not only are students getting great benefits, but they are also in a small group of professional workers.
Joining the military was astonishing in very many aspects in my life and it truly molded me into who I am today. I will genuinely say that the most important people in my life are my mother and father. I am not a parent myself but I have had years to only imagine how tough parenting can be; especially when raising three stubborn boys. My mother and father are very open minded and kind hearted to everyone regardless of who they are. I will be honest here and say that I may not have been as grateful as I should have been when I was a younger kid, but that’s just life. When you are younger, everything is very simple and do not realize the little things in life. I had no other worries except for, “What’s for dinner?”. The military made me realize how much I appreciated and very much needed my loved ones. Travelling far away to Marine Corps Recruiting Depot, San Diego California and starting my very own journey was one of the toughest decisions at that time to make for myself.
My recent deployment in the British army has proven to be a mistake. The glory and pride that is associated with those taking part in The Great War is most definitely false. On the second day of my stationing in what will soon be called the Battle of Somme, any hint of determination or hope has been swallowed furiously by the horrors of war. This is because of the events that took place on the first day of the battle. With the Germans relentless pounding of artillery, it is so far estimated that we’ve lost further than ten thousand men, with far more being injured. For this, I can’t be sure of my survival over the next day, much less the remaining length of the battle.
Over the last few years, a new trend has begun to spring up between the military and academia, older members seeking degrees. In years past, military personnel would either attain their degrees early in their careers or not at all. With the approval of the new Post 9/11 GI Bill as well as a surge in employers requiring a degree to be considered for any job of worth; it has become overwhelming attractive for the vintage warfighter to head back to school.
I joined the Air Force because I knew going to nursing school would cost a lot of money and I wanted to get help paying for it, without all the loans. After a few years of being stationed overseas, I’m finally back in the states. Being back in the states gives me a lot of opportunities to pursue my degree in nursing. Last year I entered Metropolitan Community College Certified Nursing Assistant program and received my certificate as a nursing assistant. I am now still full time active duty in the Air Force as a cop and working at Elite Professionals Home Care on my days off. I want to help make a difference in the world and I will continue to spread the love and passion I have for helping others. I love what I do as a nursing assistant and
I chose to go into the military for several reasons that are good for me and also the people in my life. In the long run it will help both me and other people involved in my life become successful. What I mean by this is one, I’m not meant for college and two, Owen wanted to go to college with me but now since I am not going he can go to Harvard or Yale and do good.
Rick Warren once said “Military service, they don't call it service for nothing. You are actually serving your country. And it is a worthy and valid vocation”. Talking about the military service is very important and serious topic as it is considered as a strategic national security issue. Around the world there are many countries debating and have many ways of how the military service should be. Each political regime has its way to deal with this issue. Some countries make the military service an obligatory thing like: South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, and Egypt. And some countries make it an optional thing or in another words an voluntary military service like: the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. The question here is what is the best way to deal with the military service? Should it be a mandatory or an optional thing? If obligatory what is the pros of it? This topic is a very debatable. However in my opinion the military service should be mandatory to defend the country from any external danger and to protect the borders. Some have many concerns about making it obligatory and they have the reasons to say that.
