Why I Want to Join the US Infantry

My whole childhood I always wanted to be in the military. I would watch war movies, play G.I. Joe, and talk to my Grandfather about things he had done in three wars. When I became a senior in High School I couldn’t wait to talk to the recruiters. I talked to them all and bucked the family trend (My Grandfather and cousins were all in the Navy) and joined the Army. The day I swore in my life was to be forever changed and for the better.

If you were asked to walk 18 miles outside of Philadelphia, in the winter time with disease and death all around , would you say yes? To say yes meant you were committing to a team, to fight , and win the war.There would be hard times but to win the war at the end would be a big success. George Washington commanded his army to go on this journey. To say no to this you would be safe, but you would not gain wisdom and strength. I would want to leave with the soldiers because I could help the sick and injured while being a part of a team to fight for the country's rights.

Completing the highest level (TLC) this summer, I have done a lot of self reflection on how much I’ve changed since the first time I walked into Davis Hall. SLTP has challenged me to become the person I want to be and should be.

I am writing about the occupation known as Special Forces. I am very interested in this occupation because I love military careers, and I love the feeling of adventure. The reason i want to be a special forces team member, is because my papa fought in Vietnam in the U.S. Air Force but was sent back home when my Grammy was having my mom. My brother was in the U.S. Army when he was driving a humvee down a route when the humvee in front of him was blown up. I have wanted to be in the Military since i was about 6, I have always loved the military with a passion, but I don’t necessarily know why, I just feel its in my blood.

First, I would like to take the time to thank you for the opportunity to apply for a position in JSOC. It is a tremendous honor even to be considered.

My choice to join the Army may not have seemed to be the best choice 16 years ago as I had a promising basketball career. I could have gone a professional if I continued to play.

If for some reason, I could not attend any college I will pursue a career in the army as an assisting medical staff.

I believe that we have a lot of public health workers, but we do not have enough in the armed forces, so if I have to work as public health, I choose the

When I am older I want to join the Airforce because when I was four my oldest brother left to go to the Airforce. I have always been very active and that is an important skill in the Airforce.
