Thesis: The United States military consists of five different branches: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corp, and Coast Guard.
Organizational Pattern: Topical
Audience Analysis: I will be addressing college students between the ages of 18-24. This age group is still deciding on what they want to do for the rest of their life, and many do not enjoy school so the military is the next best step for them.

D. I spent five and a half years in the United States Marine Corp, and I had some of the best times of my life.
E. I’m going to explain to you all five of the branches mission responsibilities, camouflage uniforms (utilities), commanders, and a fun fact.
