Conform With Military Standards
I was forced to conform with the military standards. My first few years was challenging for me because I was used to getting in trouble back in school. I had to adapt to the military life style and change my ways in order to be successful. This was a lot hard to do than you may think. I never receive any paper work in the military but I came close a lot of time. I do believe that if I was in another unit I probably wouldn't made it far in my Air Force career. I have been in over 8 years now and I'm on my way to having a successful career.

    My decision to join the military in general I believe subconsciously started when my older brother returned from Army basic training. While my brother was a pretty smart guy he had never really been to apply himself nor did he have the drive to, but whatever had happened to him during army basic training had made a change in him; a change for the best. He came back and the transformation was evident in every single one of his actions and thoughts. He had a drive to accomplish all of his goals dreams and aspiration, not only that he had the discipline necessary to stay on his new found path. I went on to college in the fall fallowing his return from basic training not sure if these new traits and strength I saw in him would continue or disappear. When I returned home that fall after my first semester and talked to him and I saw the changes had stayed with him and grown even further. With all that he had used the tools he had been given to accomplish so much in already so little of time. All that stayed in my head, but it did not become relevant to me until my sophomore year of college. I realized that while I was…

    Standards are necessary within an organization to promote discipline, production, and efficiency. Recently, the Sergeant Major of the Army visited the Sergeants Major Academy and the focus of his presentation was really about Army Standards. The Sergeant Major’s message got me thinking about Army standards and the inconsistent application of these standards throughout the Army, specifically the ethical dilemmas that arise due to this inconsistency. If an organization’s standards are applied inconsistently, that organization’s culture changes and allows room for unethical application of those standards. In the Army we see this inconsistent application of standards in the areas of height and weight standards, the APFT, the tattoo policy, application of punishment through the UCMJ, and in unit reporting.…

    Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage are the seven basic values of the army. JROTC helped me grow as a person and let me interact with people that I would have never interacted with before. I developed social skills and a good work ethic during my time in the JROTC. Over 50% of students in high school were in the program. I helped over a 100 students with basic army movements and discipline skills. A lot of students didn’t care much if they were good at what I was teaching them. That didn’t stop me from forcing them to repeat basic army movements for an hour each day. I taught them repetition and discipline. The more and more people I helped, the more people saw me as dependable. My instructor gave me more responsibilities and tasks to do as he saw me improving. JROTC helped me meet the friends that I still have to this day. If I did not join the program I wouldn’t have become who I am today. I used to be an introvert and kept to myself at all times. I rarely finished assignments or even started working on them. I never participated in any extracurricular activities. I was just a super lazy…

    The military has impacted my life in a weird way. I had a dream of becoming a Navy Seal for the longest, but my mother ironically told me “ you will not be in the military” and told me all of these reasons like you have asthma so you cant go. That never stopped me, I still wanted to be a seal. I studied everything about the Navy Seals to their habits all the way to their workouts. Studying the lifestyle of a Navy Seal has impacted me because it made me a better man during my time in high school. One of the most helpful things I got from a Navy Seal interview was wake up at 4AM. I can say waking up at 4 AM was hard but it made total sense. We only have 24 hours in a day and most the day is occupied by work or school and after that we have activities.…

    Programs are reinforced by the work of needs assessments. It is essential to preform needs assessments in order to enhance the program and meet the needs of a targeted population. Conducting a needs assessment for a program will allow researchers to put in the time, effort, and resources where needed, to emphasize the programs assets. Needs assessments will provide programs with better outcomes and services to all populations (Astramovich, 2011). Needs assessments are conducted in four stages, which include identifying goals, identifying population being assessed, collect needs data assessment, and analysis and interpretation of data (Astramovich, 2011).

    Military Ethics

    War has always been, and will always be, a necessary action perpetrated by the human race. There are many different reasons for war: rage, passion, greed, defense, and religion to name a few. When differences cannot be solved or compromised through mediation with an opposing party and anger burns with a fiery passion, war is the last remaining option. Obviously, the purpose of any war is to win. How are wars won? Perhaps if we were to ask a member of the Defense Department during the early stages of the war in Iraq, his answer might be, “To win this war we must force the enemy into submission by means of ethical warfare.” If we were to ask a marine in the Second World War what he was told by his commanding officer he would reply, “To close with the enemy and destroy him.” (Fussell, 763).…

    Army Values-Integrity

    • 498 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Integrity is one of the most talked about and most abused of the Seven Army Values. First we must define integrity it is doing the right thing consistently. That means that we must do the legally and morally correct thing every time. Just because something is hard or unpleasant does not mean that we can look the other way. Doing the right thing is not a matter of deciding do I help my fellow soldier and let him slide on an Army regulation or do I uphold the regulation. It means doing both they are both equally important. Sometimes helping a soldier means that you must enforce the regulations and in some cases that can mean discharging them from the Army at other times it means fighting for the soldier and getting them the help that they need to succeed in the Army.…
