Letter To The Army: A Short Story

Then we had to put our stuff down to go to service to sing and dance and there was a comedian too. Then we went around Great Wolf Lodge just looking at stuff on sale then it was 10:45 so we started leaving to the rooms and started eating Doritos and Mountain Dew then we slept but some people were watching YouTube.

This platoon is a family and as a family we should work as such no questions asked when something needs to be completed as an nco I need to complete the mission first at all times to get it accomplished in a timely manner and ensure that it is completed to standard from LT to pvt everyone should police themselves to accomplice the task at hand if ssg parou needs something completed by Thursday it is because someone above him needs it as well and we should never put our team member or leadership in a position where they are embarrassed or talked down to because an nco couldn’t complete their tack at hand and as an nco there should be no excuse to why you can complete a simple task that is why I am an nco to lead by example.

If there is a best part there must be a worse, and there was. First let me start with bear bags, in the wilderness there is a threat of bears so to avoid being mauled we would have to throw all of our smellable objects (basically everything) up onto a line strung high between 2 trees, the process was about 20 minutes long and a total drag. Next terrible thing was dishes, and that took forever. After all said and done it was time to cram into my tiny 2 man tent shared with andrew caplinger and pass out. The days went on with pretty much the same routine, walk, snack, outpost, walk some more, camp duties, sleep. It was around the 4th day that I really started to get sick of it all, our guide had left us so we were on our own which made everything a little harder. It was very rough on the body going to bed at 10-11 and waking up at the crack of dawn to go walk all day with a 60 pound pack on my back, but mama didn't raise no bitch so trudged on. Things got better when we made it to a camp where we would stay for 2 nights and only have to cook for 1, but the best thing about that camp was we saw the first girl we had seen in

Many people are concerned about the U.S. military because of how many risks come with joining it. However, the U.S. military also explains the benefits that one could receive. Joining the military is a decision that should not be taken lightly. One must understand all aspects of the military. In order for a voter to be fully informed about joining the US military, one must consider both the risks, like mental illnesses and commitment and benefits, like education, and experience.

A voice rings out, “Private First Class Dickenson report to the Captain’s office now.” Oh My God, what the hell did I do? Here I am half way through basic and haven’t been called to the Captain’s office before. Am I getting kicked out? What is going on; I am trying to figure out everything and anything this could be

We left for our destination as soon as possible and arrived when the sun was barely visible over the hills. We quickly hopped out of the car, while being as quiet and stealthy as possible. I was in charge of getting the guns and ammo, while my dad set up the stand behind some tall brush. It took us roughly five minutes to get settled in. The next step in our operation was to just wait.

Eddy was my best friend, my brother, my other half. Eddy was 16 years old when he died a heroic death. His last moments were spent fighting for his freedom, even though at times his own country was the enemy. He is survived by his father, his brother, and his mother. His father being Japanese, was not supportive of his decision to join the army but he soon grew supportive. When Eddy was thinking about quitting the army, his father said “you go...back army… No make shame for this family. Fight for your country. Die, even, but did in honor.”

In browsing through this section I was bewildered by their miserable living conditions, not to mention their limited and inadequate supplies which they were required to carry everywhere they traveled. In addition to this, the fact that the soldiers had to endure months without changing clothes or without access to basic hygienic functions was beyond belief. Much of this pales in comparison to the cold, muddy, and flooded terrain which they were forced to navigate, live, sleep, and fight in. Ultimately, I was filled with utter sadness when I learned about how terrified the soldiers were, how they all lived in constant fear never knowing what would happen to them, and the fact that their will to live was slowly diminishing with each day the war dragged

Seriously. Grif is just this lazy jerkass who does nothing but eat and sleep and figure out increasingly creative ways to avoid having to do actual work...until he's properly motivated. Until he actually gives a shit. For one reason or another. And then he holds. He's a damn good soldier when he has to be and he hates himself for it. He's a DAMN good family man when he has to be and he resents his family for it. Because he's never gotten anything from the army. He sure as fuck never got anything from his family (mom and sister) but. he loves as hard as he hates and will do what he needs to do when the time comes and all without getting a bit of thanks or recognition because no matter how much he ends up contributing he's so good at maintining

They find iron cots, canned peaches, tomatoes, ham, corned beef and water. They probably had no gun or they probably

“Alright, just take a deep breath.” said Sergeant Barnes trying to show patience. “I think we got both of them. The two that your team was working with. And, for the rest of the

Started out like normal- gathered the MV and Baboon carts. Corrine is on MV today and I am with Philip. There was a little meeting this morning about what was going on. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the conversation.

Newspaper- Army Daily is a newspaper targeted specifically for people in the military supported by USAA. A lot of veterans are older in age, and therefore read the newspaper, as opposed to younger army members. USAA advertises in this newspaper to keep their target market up-to-date with new and upcoming discounts or promotions. USAA should definitely promote their ads in the Ledger Enquirer, since that is a local newspaper and many military personnel are familiar with it.

What is a profession? First and foremost let’s look at how we can define a profession from a general point. A profession is an occupation requiring specialized knowledge and often long and intensive academic preparation. Profession doesn’t mean only to be perfectly prepared on the basis of theoretical aspects, but to meet the strict criteria as well. A good professional should be a leader and leadership means solving problems. Leaders can be assessed according to the amount of resolved problems. Everybody has a tendency to be successful, in trying this; a successful leader has to be confident in his decisions. It follows from that, that generally we can consider the leader as an expert, a matured personality, somebody who meets the high
