Military Career Analysis

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.

Mark henan: We have any military veterans in the audience today? At ease all that “rucus”, what do you think this is? college? Greetings to chairman Davis. President Jackson. Members of the board and trustees. Family ,friends, and my fellow graduates. May I share, may I share, my story in an essay format. After high school I went to college for one term and quit. Joined the army and 20 years later I found myself in the final stages to deploy to Iraq. Unfortunately, I was injured. My team with whom I had a bond forged in steel went to Iraq without me, but not everyone retuned. They sacrificed their dream so that we could dream big. And today I speak for those who no longer have a voice. As the story goes my injuries left me immobile and I couldn’t

No matter how bothersome it was when my parents got on my back for not saying “Yes ma'am” or “No sir,” I now realize they were teaching me responsibility, integrity, respect, and leadership.When I pinned my mother's rank of Master Sergeant to her shoulder it instilled a sense of pride in my family. We earned that insignia alongside her through all of our sacrifices over the years. My inclination towards engineering and flying is reflective of the dedication and pride my family has set before me. Between my mother who would arrive home late due to her six-hour commute and my cousin who depended on my family while his parents served in Afghanistan, I learned what it meant to be selfless. These members of my family, these role models, show me every day what it means to put service before self. These are the footsteps I aspire to follow

To be a Profession of Arms is a subject that hits close to home and not a subject I take lightly. Serving close to ten years in the Army, it is something I could not be taught but was something I had to live and experience. I’m always asked by close friends and relatives why do I do what I do? What is so appealing about the Military that makes me want to keep reenlisting? I try to explain to them the best I can but I have grown to realize that nothing I say to them is going to make them understand why I love the Army. It’s a life style. Something that has to be lived in order to completely grasp what is so appealing. I embrace the suck and when it’s over I smile and laugh because those are memories I will always keep with me. In this paper I will touch base on what it means to be a Profession, the Balancing Role of the Professions Leaders, The Army Professional Culture, and the HR Sergeants Role in the Army Profession.

“ You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth- and the amusing thing about it is that they are” (148) Father Kevin Kearney, 1st Marine Division Chaplain Korean War gives his opinion on how well developed and trained the United states Marines truly are. Marines are held to the highest standards of society, each Marine knows in his/her heart they are the the best of the best and no one is superior to them. The U.S. Marines are “ The Few, The Proud”, because not just anybody can become a Marine, it takes guts, courage and motivation. Each Marine is rewired in the brain to be the ideal warrior and to have the brotherhood of the Marine Corps instilled

In part, I found myself due to the Xavier’s United States Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, JROTC, program where I was pushed to my physical, mental, and emotional limit through leadership positions and opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise. The JROTC program has made me a more devout citizen, given me a purpose after school, the courage to lead by example, and allowed me to become the Executive Officer of the Drill team. I will never forget the joyful terror and adrenaline that went through my body the first time I stared into the barrel of the rifle hurling towards me, in the hopes of catching it. It is only matched in seeing the pride and satisfaction of a young freshman who achieves his goal of catching one, taking me back to four years ago when I did the same. But with every success, there were a plethora of failures and times where it seemed as if my failures defined me. However, every failure and achievement escapes my mind each day when I call the command, “DRILL TEAM, ATTENTION”, and see everyone's eyes staring into mine for

According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook members of the U.S military, service maintains the U.S. national defense. The military is made up of enlisted and officer careers. They work with hi-tech machinery to help in the field. People in the military wear uniforms that show their ranks by badges. This job is so important because without the military people would be in danger and lives might not be saved.

I have wanted to go into the military since i was very young. Most children say that they want to be a firefighter or a doctor, but i said that i wanted to be in the military. I remeber looking at pictures and learning about military officers and i felt called to be one of those men. My decision and dreams never changed, as most childrens do when they realize the work required. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, my desire of a miltary life never wavered. Both of my parents' fathers served in the military, one n the Air Force and one in the Army. They told me stories of their days in the military, bragging of their different branhes and I took what they said and choose a school that woud lead to a career in neither of their branches.

I joined the Marine Corps looking for a challenge. I wanted to open doors for a new career and longed to have a positive impact on the world around me. Looking back five years later, I realize I found all that I originally sought, but I’ve also found something profoundly satisfying and meaningful that I never knew I was missing.

My first visit to the Naval Academy was on family trip while in grammar school. On this and subsequent visits, the young men and women who chose to devote their lives to country and service greatly impressed me. As a high school student, I had the good fortune to experience Academy life via my acceptance to the competitive Summer STEM program, my invitation to Candidate Visit Weekend, and my participation in the Elite Throws Sports Camp. Through these first-hand experiences, I grew in awareness and commitment to an Academy education as an opportunity to enable me to serve my country. Moreover, I am honored to be a member of a gold star family, via my uncle Senior Master Sergeant Peter Bondi, recently deceased on active duty, and to have had a grandfather who served in the National Guard. Eulogies delivered for my Uncle Peter reflected a life of service and were a source of inspiration that fueled my resolve to serve.

For as long I can remember, I have always wanted to be a soldier of the US Army. As I grew up, I heard stories from my family members about their life in the military. I had completely idolized my cousin while growing up, and when she enlisted it only strengthened my resolve to do the same. You could say serving in the military is in my blood, family, and future.

I would be eligible for this occupation because I love to be active, and I was in cross country. I am able to run long distances without taking a break. My relatives were in the army like my great grandpa who participated in both of the World Wars. My grandpa used to be in the Vietnam War; he talks about it a lot in his spare time. My family has been in the military, but some of my past relatives have.The US Airborne provides excitement, education,opportunity,and competitive wages.

For the first time since I was a teenager, I was choosing what my career would be outside of the military. When I chose to separate from the military after serving for eight years, I started to consider what my next career move would be. I started to look at jobs that I would enjoy doing. Once I started to research what kind of jobs I wanted to do, I started to consider what the job requirements were. Most of the jobs required at least a degree and most of them required a Bachelors degree. I then began to realize that I only had my military experience and military leadership, as I did not take advantage of all my military education. I then began to realize that my only option was to go back to the job that I had prior to joining the military.
