Soldier For Life Mission Statement

The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) is to provide a guide for Transition Overview Facilitators. This SOP suggests the idea of a collaborative relationship between the instructor and participants – a relationship that helps service members learn.

In the United States Army we are taught to live by the Seven Army Values. They are broken down to us in the acronym ‘LDRSHIP’ which is short for Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. We are all taught these 7 Army values repeatedly from day one in the United States Army. First we memorize these values. Then we are trained to live by them. All of these 7 values coincide with each other, and play an important roll in our Army lives. These 7 Army Values also play well into life outside the Army in our personal life. People sometimes do not realize the importance these values have on the way we are viewed by the people who look up to the men and woman who are privileged enough to represent the

military who understand the difficulties of readjusting to civilian life after being conditioned into service. Although some have the support of family friends, it’s not always the case for those who undergo extended service for the United States. After serving a certain amount of time for the United States, it only seems fair that veterans should be able experience an easier transition and at least be provided with easier access to care for possible psychological trauma and other behavioral needs.

Our mission is to help provide people living in Coshocton and Newark Ohio beautiful homes that they can be proud to own and can raise the families in.

Moreover, found within the Interagency Statement of Intent, is the following statement about the implementation of a “Military Life Cycle” transition model; “Transition preparation for Service members should occur over the entire span of their military careers-not just in the last few months of their military service.” While this broad and astute statement is obvious, what does that actually mean for the Service members?

When I was 14 years old I had the opportunity to go to the United States Naval Academy, and witness my Cousin Graduate. During this time I was undecided in what I wanted to do with my life, but when all the Midshipmen tossed their hats in the air I immediately knew the Naval Academy was where I need to be. The United States Naval Academy Mission Statement says, “To develop Midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty...”. As I look at the mission statement it is not just words it is a lifestyle that you must live by. The words that stick out to me are duty, honor, and of course loyalty. Duty means your obligation to put your team's task above everything else even yourself.

When I read the mission statement, I knew this is the place for me. One of the most attractive qualities of Advocate Children’s Hospital, is the mission to put a wholistic approach to care, and that this philosophy is rooted in the belief that human beings are created in the image of God. As a believer myself, the latter part of this statement not only stood out to me, but also reminded me of my initial calling to become a child life specialist – the calling to dedicate my life to help children and families to navigate life’s most challenging events. I believe a hospital that realizes and understands

In her book What Soldiers Do: Sex and the American GI in WWII France, Mary Louise Roberts looks at the intertwining of World War II and sexual expression of American GIs. Far from what the wholesome magazine of the time Stars and Stripes would print, Roberts delves into the seemingly consuming nature of the sexual interactions between GIs and mostly French women. Unresponsive to threats of disease or punishment, soldiers came to see France as the epicenter of sex and promiscuity. Though Roberts outlines other relationships soldiers had between children and other citizens of France, she emphasizes that the preconceived notion of the so-called easiness of French women plus the seemingly primitive culture and weakness of men noticed upon the GI’s arrival warped Franco-American Relations. As André Siegfried noticed, Americans were thrust into global engagement

Transitioning from the Active Component (AC) to the United States Army Reserve (USAR) is an intimidating prospect full of uncertainty and variables—but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Upon learning from a Connecticut National Guard recruiter that I was ineligible to enlist in any branch of the United States Armed Forces due to a chronic illness that will require medication indefinitely, I was devastated. However, despite this devastation, it was my desire to serve and to be a part of the military culture that became the driving force behind the decision to become a certified Military Service Members, Veterans and Their Families – Advanced Social Worker (MVF-ASW). Even though this career does not involve being on the front lines, I can still provide direct services to the children of active duty service members as they navigate the extended deployments, frequent moves and strained familial relationships. Even though this particular credential is not mandatory to work as a youth services coordinator on a military base, it is recommended because it will provide me with the specialized knowledge and understanding of military culture that can help me to be a more effective social worker in this particular field.

The Army is making great strides in becoming even more Family friendly and enhancing the quality of life benefits than in years past. As a result of these strides, programs such as the Army Family Team Building (AFTB), Army Community Service (ACS),

Strut and Nordstrom (2015) discussed the bountiful versions and musing regarding the quote “Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”. Throughout the years, I have often joked about the pathway that led me to become a nurse. Fresh out of high school, I joined the Army, with an initial two year obligation, as a means to pay for college with the plan to become a special education teacher. Consequently, my recruiter led me to enter the health care field, instead of choosing the career path as a military police officer. During basic training often the drill sergeants would yell “Don’t thank me, thank your recruiter”! Often, I have joked throughout the years I am the poster child for that endearment bellowed by the drill sergeants.

Throughout my eighteen years of life, I have experienced over ten moves, leaving behind close friends everytime, received schooling from twelve different schools, branded the “new kid” title felt shameful like Hester Prynne’s scarlet letter, and even was forced to live in a different country all while facing the already difficult years of high school, especially halfway through. However, throughout those eighteen years, I learned how to be adaptable and I know how important people are to me, I got to meet some of the most influential and inspiring people throughout every move and got to learn and travel the world to over ten countries, all before I was twenty. It is a crazy life, but identifying as a proud military brat is the only life I know. It is an identification that teaches numerous life lessons that you cannot just read about, makes a person stronger and provides one of the greatest service
