As you know Sir I completed a package to possibly have an opportunity to be a Coast Guard Recruiter. In my initial attempt to have my package endorsed by the command, admin would not sign the endorsement due to preview CG-3307, that was interpreted as a violation of the Arts. 2.B.1 Discrimination. On the 3Jul15 I had my interview for the position, which i believe went pretty well. I was contacted by Mr. Ada M. Harris and he requested my endorsement get forwarded. I believed that the initial determination by admin was incorrect and researched the discrimination policy as it is interrupted for this solicitation in the discipline and conduct manual, which I forwarded to Mr. Deal and he concur and also stated that he never saw my package. So,
Using the ADIA Framework, I will analyze and explain what I will do to make my tour at Naval Recruiting District (NRD) Atlanta as successful as possible.
a. Based on DA Form 2627, dated 19 December 2007, the applicant received a CG Article 15 for failure to go to the appointed place of duty and disrespectful in Language and deportment toward a noncommissioned officer (on or about 29 October 2007). The punishment consisted of a reduction to E-1, forfeiture of $303.00, 14 days extra duty, 14 days restriction, and an oral reprimand.
Under international law, the US coast Guards cutter has the rights to board, search and seize the vessel for illegal fishing without the Russian consent. The US coast Guard IS authorized to board boats substance to the jurisdiction of the United States at anytime, anyplace on the seas and the waterway over which the US has the jurisdiction, to make inquiries, inspection, examinations, inspections, and arrests. Furthermore, this suggests that the US coast Guards do not necessarily need the warrant to conduct the search, arrests over any US waterways. They also have a full legal law enforcement power on any given land under the control of the US, as needed in the completion of any given mission. This case is similar to a case that we had done
As a midshipman in the Buccaneer Battalion, I have spent the last two years of my Naval ROTC career developing my technical skills to become a nuclear submarine officer. While seeking constant self-improvement is no simple feat, I know it is a worthy effort. Rather ironically, adversity actually proved to be an outstanding testament to my commitment to a naval career, and when I was found to have a medical condition I rose to the challenge. Since my initial diagnosis, I have undergone surgery and fully recovered, but more importantly, I have proven my unwavering commitment to commissioning as a nuclear officer. The experience was a lesson in mental fortitude and I fought to achieve a high physical and academic standard to rank competitively for the nuclear Navy.
Since the very beginning it was first established, the Coast Guard was never seen as important to the people for about 200 years. Why is it that they’ve never had notice? How come they do all the dirty work in the ocean and no one seems to care? Well the Coast Guard is the reason why the United States has been protected, so that we can go to bed at night knowing that nothing’s going to happen to us. There are many reasons to why the Coast Guard is so important to society. The U.S. Coast is a huge part of our military and follows certain goals on the ocean to protect us from harm. There are also individuals who are aware of the situations that the Coast Guards are going through and by helping they get involved with some of the minor
Navy Recruiting Command is in the process of refreshing 25% of the Navy Recruiting Command’s production recruiter peripherals. The Mobile Recruiter Initiative (MRI) kit contains the Production Recruiter’s primary tools. MRI provides for a complete mobile office while prospecting and processing over 50,000 applicants/candidates annually. Without refresh and maintenance of the MRI peripherals, Production Recruiters will lose the benefit of the MRI, resulting in loss productivity and return to paper and pencil forms, severely impacting
Hey West Point Of the Plains! CDT Payton here providing you with some impacting news. The Army has decided to end Enlistment Of Foreign recruits as of Saturday September 16th. The purpose of this action is to speed up the enlistment process within our army. On average it takes about two years to screen and process a foreign recruit through enlistment. I am providing a link below that has more information for anyone
Earning the rank of NCO in the Marine Corps is a difficult feat and it is the mentor’s job to guide his mentees on a path that would have them attain not only the next rank but also any goals they may have set out for themselves. No one can put the mentorship program in any better words than Gen John A. Lejeune himself. He once said “One must put himself in the place of those whom he would lead; he must have a full understanding of their thoughts, their attitude, their emotions, their aspirations, and their ideals; and he must embody in his/her own character the virtues which he would instill into the hearts of his/her followers.”. Which in my interpretation I believe him to be saying Not only does the Marine
It is Jan 24, 1994, I am 19 years old and heading off to boot camp for the Navy. At the time it didn’t dawn on me that I am trying to join the Navy, the same Navy that has aircrafts, boats, that all travel over water. As my first day of boot camp commenced, the instructor tells me that in order to pass boot camp I would need to pass a fitness test and a swim test. That consist of treading water for 5 min and a 50 yard swim. Then I realized my old friend, the pool awaits me. On day three, myself and the other 59 boot camp recruits march to the pool. It was one of the days I feared and dreaded. We reached the pool and it was not as I expected, there was an Olympic size pool with a 10 meter diving board. They quickly hurried us to change
The military is a subject that many look for as a form of obligation, and many think it’s our duty to serve and protect. I for one have felt that obligation and have been compelled to join the marines, but before I bluntly stick my neck out for America I wanted a veterans point of view on my decision. The person that I selected to interview was a sixty-five year old marine veteran from Texas, and I will refer to him as Walus, he is my neighbor Joey’s grandfather. Walus is a sturdy, strict yet likeable fellow once you get past his unpleasant personality. He is passionate in teaching his grandsons all he knows about everything from cooking to dismantling and assembling assault rifles.
For as long as I can remember I have always been captivated by technology, how it works and where it could go. Even when I was very young I was messing around with old computer parts my step dad would have lying around. I believe my fascination stemmed from old sci-fi games and books I had when I was younger but that interest stuck with me since an early age. During my days in elementary school my goal was simply to become an engineer of some kind when I got older, and following my time in high school my initial inspiration on technology still held true but I was able to narrow down my career interests through research and what sparked my imagination the most. Both artificial intelligence and virtual reality have been my favorite subjects ever
Enlisting has been a huge stressor for me while trying to complete high school. The first step is commitment, as it is a life changing decision. This became a stressful event since last year I realized what am I going to do to get into college. I thought about scholarships but I’m not the best at writing. I’m still going to apply but I wanted an easier, stress-free situation when it comes to paying for school. While completing this process, I have been practicing five ways to manage stress which are exercise, social support, a positive attitude, and meditation, and taking a break from the stressor.
The extreme commute imposed on reservists is detrimental to both the member and the unit. Upon first entering into the Coast Guard Reserves, members are placed at units that are within a reasonable commuting distance. By working and drilling close to their homes, reservists are able to easily commute and actively participate in reserve drills and activities while still maintaining their busy schedules in their personal lives. When the Coast Guard imposes a mandatory Permanent Change of Station of members when they advance, most times to locations outside of their reasonable commuting distance, and at the members’ financial expense, it creates unnecessary impacts for both the member and the Coast Guard.
My tour in recruiting was ending, and DA decided to send me to the 12th Aviation Group at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. We put the house on the market for $115,000 and sold it almost immediately. The Army required a refresher course anytime one was coming from a non-aviation assignment. That would be at Fort Rucker, Alabama, but we dropped by Fort Bragg first to find a place to live. We got with a realtor and told him we wanted to look at new houses where the doctors and lawyers lived and perhaps on a golf course. He took us to a new development area called Gates 4 southwest of Fayetteville and about 30 minutes from work. It was a gated golf course community. We found a speculation built two story colonial just dried in so we picked all
In the world we live in today, experiences shape and mold a person. Our unique passions, our different cultures, and our individual experiences create a beautiful and distinct story that is purely our own. For me, this experience has been the constant presence of the United States Coast Guard in my life. My father has been serving in the Coast Guard for twenty years, and because of this experience, I will never be able to answer the seemingly simple question “Where are you from?”. However, I feel so grateful for this lifelong experience, for it has taught me to be patient and open minded, responsible, adaptive, and excited for change and has deepened my love for travel and adventure.
