Air Cadet Narrative
I am currently involved in the 872 Kiwanis Air Cadet Squadron, a vibrant youth program with aims to improve youth leadership, promote physical fitness and active citizenship within the program. Marksmanship is a shooting program on Saturdays, which use air rifles to shoot at targets. It has been one of my hobbies in air cadet. One of the field trips I have embarked upon in air cadet is the Field Training Exercise. It is a field trip where we travel to a camping site and learn about survival, leadership, and self-discipline skills for two days. It has helped me with self-organization including packing up tents and choosing the essential items for a trip. We had leadership courses in which we organized into small groups to complete a certain

    Air Force Major Margaret Witt was an accomplished, decorated, and by all accounts outstanding flight nurse throughout 19 years in military service.[16] She received superb performance evaluations and numerous high awards and honors in recognition of her superior career achievements. The Air Force made her a literal “poster child” in 1993, when it selected her to be prominently featured in its recruiting and promotional materials as the “model” Air Force nurse.[17] Serving for most of her career in Aeromedical Evacuation Squadrons, Major Witt was responsible for providing inflight care and treatment of ill and injured servicemembers during transport aboard military aircraft.[18] She served in Europe in the 1990’s, caring for ill and wounded in Bosnia, and in the Middle East, where she served on dozens of flight missions to rescue and treat soldiers fighting in Iraq.[19]…

    I was not able to actually interview anybody for this project. My grandmother lived through WW2 but she was not old enough to remember any stories, details, or feelings. So, I decided to use Honor Flight Oral Stories website, and I was able to watch five videos. The videos I watched were of Karl and Helen Norton, Clarence “Bud” Schick, Edward Davis, Charlie Smith, and James Gau. I found the stories that these people told very interesting.…

    The day starts at 4:30 A.M. and doesn’t stop until after sunset. They are put through a daily routine of circuit training involving swimming, running and calisthenics. The instructors also give what they call “smoke sessions” which are marathon workouts that make recruits muscles burn. This training is a warm up for the pool or the “water confidence training”. More trainees fail this part of the passage than any other. Motivation week as the PJs call it is the Air Force’s version of SEAL Hell Week it’s a kinder gentler military now days. Motivation week is similar to SEAL’s Hell week as in the instructor’s abuse the trainees making them perform with little to no sleep. Constantly testing them mentally and physically. Similar to SEAL training these airmen also get ridiculed and are tested physically and emotionally. They go a step further and incorporate the EMT course in to everything a course that would be difficult on a normal basis is made harder while continuing physical training and remembering dive training, and survival training. These men in their 2 years of training become expert marksmen, mountain climbers, certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) among a list of things. The indoctrination course is just the beginning of training. Two months of running, swimming and calisthenics designed to…

    When I became a part of one of the Deer Park JROTC Cadets, I’ve never knew I would come to find happiness and enjoyment in the three years I spent growing with the other cadets. In the first year when I joined JROTC was unpredictable for me because I went from playing softball throughout my whole entire childhood into my freshman year to marching in formation as a JROTC cadet. The life lessons I learned from Chief Underwood and First Sergeant Harmon is always give my best of ability into my school work, extracurricular activities, and part-time jobs for a successful career. Because of these basic opportunities I’ve received in high school, I’ am more prepared for many obstacles in the real world compared to other kids that can’t go to school…

    The route I have taken after high school has definitely been the path less traveled. I enlisted into the United States Marine Corps after graduating high school to serve the country that welcomed me in with open arms as a refugee, and blessed me so much with freedoms and opportunities that I would have never obtained in Tibet or India. During my years in the Corps, I received the opportunity to travel the World, lead Marines, and make a difference. The Marine Corps has definitely been a steppingstone because it has rewarded me with a broader perspective of the World, military discipline and bearing, and many other intangible traits I plan to instill throughout my life. Also during my service, I gained very unconventional experiences that were…

    I am an Air Force kid. Though seemingly single- faceted, this simple fact is easily the most defining characteristic in my life. Nine moves and eight schools later (including three high schools), I can honestly say that the experiences gained by this have developed both my personality and courage beyond what I could have done in a more stable environment. Walking into the unknown, whether it be another school or trying out for yet another soccer team is no longer a point of anxiety for me, and as a result my flexibility as a person has stretched farther than it would otherwise. Another marquee characteristic in being a frequently moving Air Force child is the opportunity to experience the plethora of cultures present within the United States.…

    The purpose of our Army having paratroopers is the fact that they can be directly deployed into combat anywhere in the world within eighteen hours or less.
