When I was seven years of age, my brother received a card in the mail with pictures of men and women in military uniforms standing proud. My mom, out of fear for her only son’s life, ripped the calling card in two and tossed it in the trash, hoping that her son would never lay eyes upon it. I picked up the card from the trash can and I knew right then that that’s what I was meant to do.

I picked up the card from the trash can and I knew right then that that’s what I was meant to do. Being a member of the United States Army is my calling and, after discovering through the U.S. Army website, I would like to contribute my abilities to the U.S. Army as a Criminal Investigation Special Agent.
Growing up, I have worked on my abilities in preparation for the military. During stressful situations, I place two figures on any artery that is close to my skin to monitor and control my heartbeat. This technique has come in handy when in fearful situations. In my free time, I have well-reversed myself in deciphering body language. This is a helpful tool in telling whether an individual is being deceitful or in predicting their intentions. Along with these survival skills, I know a few martial art techniques. For two years, I was trained in Taekwondo in the Guangdong providence in China.

Twenty-six years ago I a 17-year-old boy joined the United States Army. I served my country faithfully for 22 years, two months and four days; I served in the Transportation Corps. My time in the army was a special period in my life. I gain a lot of life experiences as well as professional ones; the military shaped and molded me into the husband, father son, and brother that I am today. During my service, I grew up and learned several life lessons that would serve me well in and out of the army. To get a real understand on how the military shaped me into the person, I am today; I must first give you some insight into the person I was before I left for basic training. I graduated high school in 1991 just four months’ shy of my 18th birthday;
Already while reading this book I felt closer and more understanding of the, because I too left college in the fear that if I didn’t join now, I would never have another chance to serve my country.
A career as a special agent right after college graduation investigating arson, explosives, firearms alcohol and tobacco, may sound far-fetched, but a presentation to students on Sept. 27 from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, ATF for short, was there to prove otherwise.
F.B.I agents actually make a lot of money. They make about “28.97 per hour or about 60,270 a year” (BLS.gov) This amount may increase if you wish to go higher up and be a special agent. This amount is pretty good, due to the fact that it is enough to make a nice working home possible. It also means that the money spent on college will be easy to repay. Plus the salary for an F.B.I agent is actually “higher than average” (BLS.Gov). Which means that this career must be doing well if it can afford to pay these workers that much. Again this would leave money for a steady home and even a little for luxuries. F.B.I jobs are also “expected to grow in demand” (chron.com). So this will mean even more people will be wanted for this job, which means
The beliefs, values, and customs that are associated with the armed forces has cultivated into a unique culture within the military community (Hall, 2016, p. 41). In essence, a sub-culture has been established that is distinctly different from the culture of the United States. Thus, those that enter military service resign themselves to the fact that the military lifestyle is a departure from the civilian lifestyle and therefore, will differ from society as a whole. The military itself is rigidly structured, an aspect that essential not just to the military’s purpose, but to its continued existence. Thus, personnel, and by extension their families, are required to not only adhere to the many rules and regulations, but embrace them as well (Hall, 2016). Honor is a central tenet within the armed services and is ingrained within the culture (Hall, 2016). As such, the military mission has created a culture that champions having “the right stuff”, so to speak, and encourages the suppression of feelings and emotions (Hall, 2016, p. 11). Moreover, this warrior society embraces secrecy, stoicism, and denial, as these concepts are viewed as essential ingredients to the success of the self,
I sat down with Randy Hoover, a veteran and retired state trooper now conducting private security for a retirement village in Tennessee. I’ve known Randy from going to the same church and having him as my youth counselor while I was in High School. I didn’t really fully know Randy until I sat down with him and asked him about his career. He has always been a mentor to me and always made sure life was good to me. Having been given the opportunity, I sat down with Randy to see what the average day of a trooper is truly like. Since being involved in law enforcement is my current career interest I found him to be the perfect candidate. After talking with him, I came to the conclusion that the life of a law enforcer is very different
“Just can’t be an FBI agent without being cautions and thinking thing through”. That just part of the training. The foundation of the FBI all started in July 26, 1908. J. Edgar Hoover, Charles Joseph, and Theodore Roosevelt was the founders. Becoming an FBI officer you got to know what field you would like to be in .
“The agency relationship is defined as ‘the fiduciary relationship which results from the manifestation of consent by one person to another that the other shall act in his behalf and subject to his contract, and consent by the other so to act.’ Agents obligations relating to their players are defind not only by contact, but by the fiduciary characteristics of the relationship.” The agent owes his/her player a lot of things in their basic care to their player. These things include the fiduciary duty of undivided loyalty and the duty to act in good faith at all times. The player is going to entrust this agent with all of their fortune, reputation, and legal rights and responsibilities. Along with all of these duties the agent is going to have to abide by what the player wants and carry out what their desire are. This is a responsibility of the agent and it must only do what is desired by and for the player and must not carry out its own business affairs. “The agent must obey all of his/her players’ lawful instruction no matter how arbitrary or capricious any of those instructions seem to the agent or anyone else. However, if the player instructs the agent to perform something illegal, like bribe someone, the agent does not have to comply.”
The author experienced the culture shock all new recruits receive during their initial basic training. James’s physical conditioning prior to enlisting into the Army proved to be a valuable asset, due to the physically demanding rigors associated with military training. The author’s physical presence and life experiences equated to admiration from the younger recruits. Affectionate memories were made teaching the younger recruits exercises and submission holds during down time from training. It was at this point in the author’s life that he knew he wanted a profession in which he could help others. Upon completion of Basic Training, and Advanced Individual training, James saw his parents again, whom he had not seen in several years. The author was pleased to see his ever loving mother who was radiating in pride of her son’s life journey thus far. The author’s father stated that it was about time his son had done something worth meaning. During James’s adolescence this comment may have
Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., wrote: “The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country.” With the all volunteer military, more and more americans are being disconnected with their peers, and fewer are choosing to serve. The divide between these two americans is wider than ever before. When Veterans try to share their experiences, many people might not be able to offer empathy. Tim O’Brian in “How to Tell a True War Story” constantly reiterates that war stories could be shared in perspective of the fire fights and theatrics, but a more effective one sheds light on the soldier’s ability to make sense
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a federally-funded agency that was founded in 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. The FBI, formerly know as the Bureau of Investigation (1909-1935) recruited men with previous law enforcement experience to become a part of this exclusive team that aimed to solve law violations such as bankruptcy, naturalization, antitrust, peonage, and land fraud. The Mann Act of 1910, which made transporting women over state lines for “immoral” purposes a crime, led to the first major expansion of jurisdiction for the bureau. During WWI, the FBI took over the responsibility for the Espionage, Selective Service and Sabotage Acts. With it’s head quarters in Washington, D.C., the FBI today has over 56 field offices throughout the United States and Puerto Rico and an estimated 35,000 working agents.
I gradually slowed from a run to a walk before coming to a complete stop. I started to listen to my heart instead of my mind as it was corrupted by a fear so profound that it made my blood run cold every time the thought arrived in my head. I never should have left my platoon. It was a mistake. They had always been there for me even when I didn’t think I needed them, but now when they needed me I let them all down. I knew I was weak and that’s why I had run away but it wasn’t my fault that I was here. It wasn’t my decision but the government and its conscription policy. What did the government know about fighting in a war? Why don’t they allow any of their children fight instead of someone else’s? I turned around and started heading back deeper into the jungle that I had come from.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the United States main federal law enforcement agency. It is operated under the United States Department of Justice and is a member of the United States National Intelligence Community. The National Bureau of Criminal Identification was founded 1896 in order to identify criminals across the nation. This organization was combined with numerous other agencies and changed names multiple times. In 1935 this organization was given its final name, The Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI employs some 33,000 people which around 13,000 are Special Agents. (FBI) In this paper I will be discussing different aspects of being a Special Agent.
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.
Martial art has been my second discipline right after my parents’. Living under the rule, which emphasizes respect for others, I learned how to bow before how to read. My basic strength was always better than anyone in the classroom.
