Making A Difference In The Armed Force

INTRODUCTION: How many people have a Veteran in their family or know one? If yes do you help them or is it someone else’s problem. Well many people think it’s someone else problem, but the truth is it’s our problem.

Millions of men and women have served in the armed forces before me and millions more will serve after. Some have paid the ultimate sacrifice; some lost and captured, others received wounds, physically and or emotionally, and that time

I originally became interested in Naval service because of my military heritage. When I was younger, both of my grandfathers took care of me every day while my parents went to work. One of my grandfathers served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and the other served as a Merchant Marine during the Second World War and received the Purple Heart. Both of these veterans were instrumental in the early development of discipline and integrity. It is because of them that I gained a curiosity for military history. My grandfather that served as a Merchant Marine died when I was in first grade and it have always felt that it is my obligation to follow in his service to the United States by becoming an officer in the U.S. Navy. Once I started in high school, my grandfather that served in Korea began to tell me stories about his experience in the war which made me feel even further obligated to serve this great country.

By serving as a military officer, I can influence others by helping them achieve their potential and grow as an individual. Through serving as a physical therapist, I can influence others by helping them restore their function. Military personnel are some of the most disciplined individuals but even they need encouragement when something happens that requires rehabilitation. I would come alongside them as a PT and use the knowledge I acquired in school

    While I admire the work that many veterans have done, I don’t believe that I would be able to make the same sacrifices as they did. As a service to their country, they took it upon themselves to protect those unknown to them. They are a part of something greater than themselves in which they are essential to the outcome of the whole. All roles are of equal importance because without them all our rights would be unfound. There would be no freedom of speech or right to a fair trial. Our country would be without purpose if we

The main idea of this publication is to create a collective understanding of the Army Profession by providing the Service members the guidelines and definitions of it and the Army Ethic. Fail to follow or even understand the concept of rules of behavior based on ideas about what is morally good and bad have been the reason of studies, due to the consequences this could bring upon the service. This publication defines the membership and affiliation of competent individuals in character and commitment, five essential characteristics legitimize the Army as a military profession, trust, military expertise, honorable service, spirit de corps, and stewardship. Trust is vital in society at school, at work, at home, among the citizens, trust in the skills of those you depend on, and trust that the mail will be deliver to your home to give an example. American people perhaps have lost or are close to lose the trust in the highest level of government being this the direct orchestrator of the actions perform by the armed forces, after planning and rehearsals every move is directed and now that the population does not support or agreed with many of these actions government has to act to regain the support and reassurance of the masses. American people as society trust their arm forces to perform their duty to protect them and their country, support and defend the constitution society trust the strongest Army in the world due to the technology it possess and the will soldiers have

Men and Women who served for their country should be given all respect and care when they return home. Veterans come home with injuries that can affect them from living a healthy comfortable life. Their injuries can be from physical to mental injuries like PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) from combat. Veterans who come home with these injuries should be provided, by the government, health care where they can live an enjoyable life. Having veterans take an alternative rout like qualifying for medicade could help a lot of these people struggling. Many of these veterans are also homeless and need help finding jobs. Government programs could be put in place that could help find jobs for the veterans. Veterans should be able to come home and life a healthy happy life where they can contribute back to there societies. Governments should provide for the needs of the veterans to keep them healthy and supply them with jobs so they have food, clothes, and shelter.

With counseling these soldiers could learn how to have healthy relationships with their spouses and children again. They could learn valuable coping skills to help with their mental health. With counseling we could help these soldiers feel like they mean something, and that they have served their country

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 great grandmother showed me old pictures of my great-grandfather serving in the Army. She would tell incredible stories about him being in Berlin. I enjoyed hearing my great-grandmother reminiscing about all the accomplishments he achieved while he was

Someone who had influenced me a lot is my bro Damon Haas. Ever since he enlisted in the US-Army ten years ago, I knew that I was going to do the same when I was older. I was and am going to join the Military. When he enlisted and was shipped off to boot camp, I have always wanted to do the same. Damon has always been the humorous funny guy who makes the jokes about everything. He is one of the bravest people I know, Now he never told me why he join the military but for whatever reason he has never been afraid, or at least he never has showed his fear. I remember the day he left, I was sitting in the living room and I didn’t know what was happening, as I

So my brother went through some marine boot camp in California and from the years he was a part of the training, he taught me some survival stuff, how to defend yourself basic stuff. When I was in high school I remember I used to see marines come during lunch time and talk to some people. They had some free bottles and keychains little trinkets. Just to come talk about what they are doing for training. Just last year I kne4w a friend that was in Boy Scout, and he became an Eagle Scout.

There are a number of significant difficulties for today’s military - the Global War on Terrorism or what has recently been termed the “Long War;” weapon system acquisitions and personnel draw downs. The focus of this paper is on one strategic component of the military quest—Leadership. More specifically, it will center on servant leadership and its impact on the military’s vision.

We must help our veterans, there are all too many who have trouble reintegrating into the normal world to ignore. Along with getting used to regular life, many also have mental conditions. Out of 73,00 veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, nearly 34, 00 have been diagnosed with PTSD

My classmates have always been a major part of my life. They’re always Although some of us won’t get along well, in the end, we will always band together to get our work done. We’ve done this on several occasions, it seems like we do it over every day. Together as a class, we have worked together on a project called HC Hype. HC Hype is a website that our class published that contains a variety of written works, videos, and tips. To be honest, at first it seemed like a far-fetched dream to me something that would never happen. Yet we set aside our differences to make a quality product, that in my opinion, was impossible. In the end, we felt a sense of pride knowing that all our hard work finally paid off.
