One of the main reasons for my personal growth is due to my experience as a military child. Growing up military has taught me many values as a person. I believe tween and teen years are when children begin to grow as their own human being. I was an active duty military dependent for the first fourteen years of my life. This lifestyle taught me many things, for example: how to have an open mind, adapt to new circumstances and make new friends. Everybody that knows anything about the military lifestyle knows military families move often. This means you will be forced to meet new people; hence, making new friends. Being “forced” to make new friends causes you to be more open-minded. Many of the people you meet at one base you keep in touch even
The time away from your family is very difficult. Military life is very hard sometimes it requires long hours, and you could find yourself in dangerous places around the world.
In this report I will be going over the importance of training and education within the military, and how they both play very important roles to not only leaders, but the service members within our ranks. The military is constantly training and, we train as we fight. However, before soldiers train, they must be well educated in all areas in which they will be training. Proper education is the key to proper training. I will also discuss the importance of becoming better educated while serving in the military, as it will make transitioning back into the
I did not want to make new friends, considering the position all of us are in. We were put into this position to get one main job done. However, the inevitable happened, and I became close to some of my fellow soldiers. We talked about a lot of topics, including our interests and our past. It almost seemed normal, as if we were not in the middle of a war, where one of us could die at any instance. Talking to my friends about anything but war takes me back to a time when I was a child, sitting next to my friends in a lunch room,
Growing up as a military child and living all over the world, I was afforded many
The purpose of this paper is to thoroughly describe how CPT Justin Fitch’s attributes and competencies contributed to the Army community. It will also depict my personal growth and development as a Soldier I received from CPT Fitch. Additionally, this paper will clearly describe the legacy that I would like to leave on the Army community that was a direct result from my direct interactions with CPT Justin Fitch.
First and foremost, it taught me how to socialize. Many of my peers live in one place their whole life and never worry about making friends, because they’ve had the same ones for as long as they can remember. As a military child however, I never had that luxury. I moved to four different schools in Texas by the time I moved to Ramstein, and each one was harder than the last to adjust to. I never felt like I fit in. No matter where I went, I was the same quiet new kid. This changed completely at my new high school.
My experience with military based relocation has been very minimal. My family moved from Cherry Point down to Beaufort, SC and after three years we moved back to Cherry Point. While living in South Carolina I made lots of new friends, but I did miss many of my old friends. At first, it was uncomfortable to talk with new people, but something that was definitely helpful was that there were kids who have gone through the same experiences like me. Once I found people who have gone through what I was feeling- the initial shyness, the awkward first weeks, and the desire to gain a sense of normal again- it made the initial weeks much easier to deal with. By joining this group I was able to get through the initial weeks and was able to gain a
After the completion of my high school career, I obtained a job at Radio Shack.I worked as a sales associate for approximately one year, after which I joined the U.S. Army. I left for Army Basic Combat Training on September 2012 and graduated in December of that same year. I was assigned to Joint Base Lewis McCord in Washington state for the past three years. While at Lewis McCord I took some college classes at the local community college. I plan to continue my education by obtaining a bachelors degree and excelling in my Military
Rather than acknowledge his errors during the game, the basketball player showed a lack of humility and blamed his teammates for the loss.
Growing up in a military family taught me valuable life lessons. My father served in the Navy for twenty-five years, following in the footsteps of his father and older brother. All held different positions within the Navy during their lifelong careers, but each was able to impart the wisdom he accumulated through a career in the military. I learned the honor and importance of not only serving my country, but giving back to the community and being of service to those around me.
The military is an exciting profession; it has given me the opportunity to station in 4 states and also served oversea, in three different countries. Currently station in Maryland, then deploy to Kosovo in support of KFOR22 NATO mission, I do not know where my next duty assignment would be after the completion of this existing assignment. In addition, I have few years left in active service before retirement, which does not allow me to have the option on deciding what to do after the completion of this course. Moreover, this is my second year and still far away from a graduation.
I am a military brat. With that, there are a few aspects that have fostered me into someone who I believe to have high merit. For one, moving every three years isn't a walk in the park, but I learned to adapt. I am a people person, which originated from constantly meeting new people with each and every move. Meeting tons of new people created a trend, people with similar personalities, likes, dislikes. It became easy to put people into categories and to figure them out to the point where fitting into any social group wasn't a problem. The military has made me confident in who I am, it has forced me to come out of my shell, and it has taught me to overcome difficult times and keep pushing forward.
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.
Growing up, as per most military families, we were constantly on the move. I learned to make friends quickly as well as readjust to new school systems and climates
This Podcast is about the of the creators of the INFORMS Analystics. Norman is the creator of the model and Aaron is a driving force of the model. Analytic maturity model is a way to provide a focus to an organization and allows the organization to understand how their data is being analyzed and using their analytics. Even the Military is using this tool, they use it by providing key intelligence by providing them with priority of what they need to be doing helping frame the battlefield as well as helping them analyze the risk which measures to take how to use their resources. Operationally the military uses this model by assessing key information and assessing standards and methods they use and measure how they are using them against competitors.
