My Visit To Japan And The Marine Corps
Japan has always been a culture that I have been interested in when I was little. I remember watching various educational channels dreaming of an opportunity to explore and experience the culture. My dreams came true when I joined the Marine Corps. During my military career, I visited Japan four times. Eve time I visited Japan, I made sure to engage the culture as much as possible. I have traveled more of Japan than my home state: California. The cities and regions I have visiting in Japan are Okinawa, Hiroshima, Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Nara, and Miyajima. My favorite food in Japan is okonomiyaki, and I have learned that this food is only served in Hiroshima and Osaka. If I were given an opportunity, I would defiantly visit Japan to

    Marine Corps History

    On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that "two battalions of Marines be raised" for service as landing forces with the fleet. This established the Continental Marines and marked the birth of the United States Marine Corps. Serving on land and at sea, early Marines distinguished themselves in a number of important operations, including their first amphibious raid on foreign soil in the Bahamas in March 1776, under the command of the Corps' first commandant, Capt. Samuel Nicholas. The 1783 Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War and as the last of the Navy's ships were sold, the Continental Navy and Marines disbanded.…

    Japanese-American Wwii

    During WWII, Japanese-Americans were discriminated against solely because of their Japanese ancestry. Although mistreated, despised, and even imprisoned, the Japanese-Americans overcame tremendous hardships and approximately 33,000 Japanese-Americans, both men and women, served valiantly in our Armed Forces, and nearly 800 of those having made the ultimate sacrifice. While there are numerous anecdotes, I will focus this paper on those Japanese-Americans who were part of the University of Hawaii (UH) Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Program, those who formed the Varsity Victory Volunteers (VVV), and those who formed Hawaii 's very own 100th Infantry Battalion and the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT).…

    Pearl Harbor: Keeping History Alive

    “Yesterday, December 17, 1941--A date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan” (Roosevelt). These were the words spoken by the thirty-second president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The quote was part of a speech which was spoken the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The attack was located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The plan for the Japanese was to start the war with a surprise attack on the United States Pacific Fleet. At about 8:00 AM, Japanese planes began their attack on Pearl Harbor. Less than two hours later, Japan had ruined the United States Pacific Fleets battleship force. The attack on Pearl Harbor not only affected American History but influenced the creation of different types of American literature including: eyewitness accounts, books, and poems.…

    The Marine Corps 'Keepers Of Traditions'

    The Marine Corps fighting force is well known all around the world. Each and every Marine wears the eagle globe and anchor on their uniform with pride and dignity. Throughout the decades the Marine Corps not only developed great warriors but also quality citizens.

Among traditions like; mess nights, Marine Corps birthday, uniform inspections, and field day, the close order drill tradition lacks practice at our units the most. Our units should continue to practice drill to build confidence, sustain high military standard and discipline, and to carry on our tradition.…

    Pearl Harbor Boot Camp Analysis

    Five years later after the T.J incident, I decided to move to the luxurious base of Pearl Harbor in Oahu, Hawaii ("Where Is Pearl Harbor Located?") in 1938. I was living in a small apartment right outside of the base. The only reason I moved there is to pursue my dream of becoming a pilot in the Navy. I decided to sign myself up for a boot camp that was being held at the Naval Academy. I was very satisfied to see that there was not a lot of people signed up for the camp. However, I knew that I still had to be in the best shape of my life. A week passed and I was ready for the wear and tear of the boot camp. Finally, the day came to start boot camp. The first day of boot camp was way different than what I expected. Actually, it was very easy…

    The Marine Corps

    The perspectives I have of Latin America were developed over 18 years of immersion as a local. Social awareness, familiarity of speech, understanding of issues that matter in the region vs. issues important outside of the region are second nature to me. I was born and raised in Colombia, and finished high school in Panama. The political environment of Colombia and Panama shaped my cultural awareness and political understanding of these two countries’ overall climate as well as neighboring countries in the region. My understanding of Latin America is complemented by 23 years in the United States, including 21 years of service as a Marine. The Marine Corps has a culture all its own, which I understand well through 7 years of enlisted and 14 years of commissioned service.…
