Lost Wallet
Lost Wallet
If you have never lost or misplaced something valuable to you, let me tell you it is not very fun. It is very stressful and can ruin your entire day. I would also suggest not doing such a thing because your family will never forget how funny you looked freaking out over the whole thing. In my case, it was my most precious possession at the time, my wallet, or purse for some, is a precious item in which most people carry things more essential than money towards everyday life. Some are made of Velcro, they can be snap buttons, or they can simply fold up (hence the term “billfold”). Mine was a Fossil leather brown tri-fold that I got as a Christmas gift from my grandparents more that five years ago. I’ve had that square leathery keep safe all my life, and I wasn’t planning on losing or throwing it away, ever. If some people were to lose that portable safe, they may be offset for the rest of that day. The person without that wallet could be cranky or depressed for a while. Maybe something of great sentimental value was in that wallet. This person could stay hold these feelings for a long time, until they find their belongings by which case they are filled with joy. I myself, personally, keep anything I may have interest in knowing where it is, in my trusty, four-sided, tough wallet. I am also very good about always having my wallet and never losing it...until recently.
In my wallet, I store dire personal items such as my license and some pictures. When you open the pocketbook up, you immediately see a picture of myself, which is one my driver’s license. In the picture I am wearing a Notre Dame sweatshirt, and my hair is way too long. No, I was not going for the “JB” haircut look I had it way before all the “Bieber Fever” fan base came to be thank you very much. The pictures are of my dearly beloved family – mom, dad, brother and sister, grandma and grandpa; the people who mean the most to me on this earth. Among other things, I have my

    So I was stuck with my parents old ragged Samsung Galaxy S3. The next week we went to Colorado for a family vacation to Keystone Colorado. We went skiing for 6 hours straight and my whole family was tired. When we returned to the condo we ate lunch and the smell of hamburgers and frijoles was in the air.

    Since losing my military identificstion card I have learned that nothing good can come of losing my military id. Theres several major issues to losing a military identification card, one of the biggest problems is the security threat it brings about. Since this card is no longer in my possession who knows who could have gotten ahold of it, if it were to come into the hands of the wrong person, said person would be able to have access to almost any military installation, they would have access to any government computer or network, having access to that would give them an opportunity to steal any information relating to anything that couldn’t threaten national security. Having my military identification card would also give them access to all my personal information, medical information, and anything else they would need to commit identity theft against me. Losing my military ID also poses a problem in my everyday work routine. Since I no longer have my military ID it’s a huge hassle just to get to work and than to also get back home since I have to go through base security in order to go to either place. I also can no longer gain access to any computer at work, so I am no longer able to complete any online training courses, any kind of work that would require computer access, and I can not access amy of my mypay information.…

There are many reasons why you should maintain your sensitive items, one being operations security. You donut want the enemy of the United States army to get a hold of these items and use them against you, your unit, or the people you protect. The second reason being personal safety, you dont want other people in or out the military to get a hold of your personal information and use it to abuse your name and credit. Another reason why you need to always maintain your sensitive items is accountability, at all times in the military you are accountable of your sensitive items you must maintain these items all times.

    The purpose of this essay is to provide knowledge to people who are serving in the military of why it is very important to have accountability of sensitive items. One of the main sensitive item that I think is very important to keep accountability for is the military identification card. There are many reasons on why military personnel and civilian employees should keep accountability and know where their military identification is placed at all times. Really, the truth is that a person should have their Identification card on them in their uniform, wallet, or where ever they feel comfortable on keeping it. That is defiantly something that I did fail to do for PT yesterday morning. Instead of having my Identification card on my arm in my arm band, it was sitting on top of a locker. Therefore, resulting for me to miss out on about 20 minutes of PT. With all the kind of stuff that is going on in the world today, there is no telling what might happen if a military identification or any kind of identification is placed into hands of a…

    “The things they carried” is a story about couple Vietnam veterans who carried different items with them with their reasons why. We all believe in one thing or another. It is all about what you thinks works for you and how it works. Personally I have been carrying a coin that I have on me at all times. The coin has been in my family for over two hundred years. My great grandfather got the coin from a customer when he started his export business in late 1850’s in Kabul, Afghanistan. It was the first money that he made when he was in business. About 250 years later and I still have the coin and I will pass it on to my son. Because the first son born to the eldest son gets to keep it. I have been very lucky and honored to get the coin and get lucky. Yes it sounds a little crazy but if you really believe that it will work and will bring you luck and success it definitely works.…

    My grandfather, a veteran of the US Military, was a husband and father of 6 sons. Our family has never been rich nor wealthy, but my Grandfather was a hard worker and made many treasures for my Grandmother. When I was just a little girl my Grandma told me the story of how I came to be named Tiffany, my Grandfather insisted because he was very ill that he named the last grandchild he will get to meet. Then she brought out a beautiful chest, not a big chest but a petite one you could put on a shelf or dresser and gave it to me, said she knew he would want me to have it. It was hand made by my Grandfather for my Grandmother for their first anniversary. I cherish the chest, not because it is fancy or expensive, it is a memory of my Grandfather and Grandmother’s love. The box represents our family bond and how no matter rich or poor there is something beautiful if you just open your mind and create it. Beauty isn’t only found in diamonds and pearls, it’s in family, love, and…

    Losing You Id Card

    • 615 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I won't say that losing your ID card is completely out of your control, but even losing it twice can happen obviously. Things happen, we've all lost something before, hell I had lost $100 cash before. When I woke up the next day and couldn't find it, I was so pissed, but it happened and there was nothing I could do about it, just had to take it as a loss. I’m only human, and this will not be the last mistake I ever make. However, I won’t make the same mistake over and over again. I am certain that the corrective training I am doing sucks just enough if not more to make me want to ensure to maintain firm awareness of the location of my ID card at all times from now on, which I'm sure was the intention of this corrective training or essay writing. Don't get me wrong a lot of bad things have the potential to occur if my ID were to fall into the wrong hands, but for the most part it's not too big of a deal. Also what I am doing is not punishment, punishment is Uniformed Code of Military Justice, that's something totally different and effects my well being and carrer a lot more in the long run so I should be fully greatful and fully blessed that I didn’t get a uninformed code of military justice article 15. Corrective training is just that, TRAINING. Mistakes are okay, so long as people don't repeat the same ones and they learn from them. The U.S. army values soldiers that are accountable for their actions. Being accountable means being dependable-arriving to work and appointments on time, meeting deadlines, being in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing at the right time, and making sure you have your i.d. card at all times. Morning formation is the most important formation of the day. It is made to get accountability of everyone and put out any information that there needs to be dealt with. Without having accountability there is no knowing of where everybody is or what's going on. I have realized that is an important asset always showing up on time…
