Basic Training Graduation Ceremony
Graduating basic training and becoming a United States Army soldier is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Less than one percent of the population of the United States understands and knows exactly how it feels to reach this milestone in life. When I reached this point of my life I was full of a sense pride, relief, and accomplishment. I knew that I had just officially joined something much bigger than myself. The memory of my basic training graduation ceremony will forever be burned into my memory. The date was December 7th, 2012. This day was one of the toughest I had to endure. This day started early in the morning when we woke up and began packing up our gear from our field exercise. The weather was a crisp 50 degrees and the

    50 Year Vietnam Memorial Analysis

    I know I’m very excited about it. As I’m getting my cap ready, decorating it and making plans with my friends; I’m reminded by my grandfather who, the day after his graduation, went to Vietnam, that not everyone gets this celebration. He didn’t get a graduation party; he didn’t get a bonfire with his friends. He walked off his graduation stage onto a plane headed for war. And how lucky are we that he did. That he and 2.5 million others did. These people didn’t get parties. They instead got flying bullets and little support from home. So please, in this time of joy for those of you graduating or celebrating a family member or friend’s graduation, do not forget of the Americans who, instead of celebrating, died on the battlefield. And instead of celebrating today as a day to barbeque and drink, remember that today, is a day of…

Serving in the military allows one to develop a sense of integrity and direction that reflects the American spirit. You, dear reader, may have family and/or friends who actively serve or have served as US military personnel. Maybe you are or have been an active member yourself. If so, your service is admired.…

    Service Academies: A Social Analysis

    My ardent aspiration to attend one of the service academies began in the quiet way that dreams do – as a simple idea. I had always considered military service as a career path, and the academies combined that interest with a pseudo-typical four years of college and the opportunity to graduate as an officer. Upon attending the Naval Academy Summer Seminar, though, I realized that, more than anything else, what sets the service academies distinctly apart from all other schools is the strong sense of unity forged by the exceedingly difficult trials which students endure together. Not a college exists that tests the students in the way the service academies do – both intellectually and physically.…

    America was founded on, and has been continuously defined by, extraordinary leaders. Without the tireless guidance and dedication of generations of these men and women, our country would never have grown into the renowned nation it is today.

    Becoming A Member Of The United States Military

    The United States Military has always been an influential and important part of my life growing up as child. My grandfather was a Marine who fought in the battle of Okinawa during World War II and he has always instilled a deep sense of pride and respect for my country in me. As a child, I dreamt that one day I would have the honor and the opportunity of becoming a member of the United States military and make him proud. Today, I serve in the United States Army as a Non-Commissioned Officer and I have had the pleasure of leading and mentoring junior enlisted soldiers, as well as my peers, for the past ten years. I believe my experience, professionalism, and leadership will be helpful in serving my country as a United States Army Officer.…

    Personal Narrative: A Career As An Immigrant

    At first glance, in 2005, I was assigned to the United States Army Technical Escort Unit. The unit was undergoing a transformation. My 1SG came to me and asked if I preferred Special Duty as a Drill Sergeant, Recruiter or an Instructor. I felt that I did not qualify as a Recruiter by being a single parent. I did not feel that I had the personality to be a Drill Sergeant, so I chose Instructor. The transition process was instantaneous. I envisioned from the moment I made the decision; I was in Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.…
