Mike Mecuuce Friendship Report
Today I'd like to introduce to you a man who started life outside of high school with an abrupt change of pace. Mike Mecuuce was first married in 1986 to his wife and is currently still with her 21 years later. That very same year he also entered the US Navy in 1986 where he spent a lot of time away from home in such areas as Florida, Georgia, New York, and South Carolina, where he worked with submarines for nine years and learned a whole new way of life, and experiences. One experience ended with him head first into a car bumper after having an altercation with the Royal Marines. Meanwhile back at home, as his children grew older he decided it was time to leave the military so he wouldn't miss the opportunity to enjoy watching his two girls

    Once an Eagle memo

    The opposing character traits of Sam Damon and Courtney Massengale may be found within the same person in today’s military. There is a distinction to be made between military service during time of war and military service as a career. When one makes the military a career, one must be mindful of and take care to attend to career progression. There are times when taking care of one’s career, at least administratively, is necessary. As we all have heard, no one cares about your career like you do. The trouble arises when taking care of one’s career becomes the priority. If a Soldier pursues the mission as did Damon, their career progression will essentially happen on its own, i.e. do what you’re supposed to do and do it the best you can. There are pitfalls and unavoidable life circumstances that we all face, just as Damon did, but with a resilient attitude and approach life is manageable, even when in crisis.…

    Oliver Wendell Holmes once proclaimed, "we do not read novels for improvement or instruction." CRITICAL LENS. The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel as well as Keeping Faith by Frank and John Schaeffer

    The transformation into a United States Marine, and the tribulations the father and son encountered along the way, is documented brilliantly by one another, John and Frank Schaeffer, in Keeping Faith. This remarkable, award winning novel depicts the experiences of a Marine, the growth of both father and son, and their individual assessments of what it means to serve. Many families have read Keeping Faith, as a source of strength and guidance when entangled in a similar situation. While others like myself, have read the novel to gain insight and a better notion of what it may be like to join the military, and the effects it could have on both my family and I. Merely are compositions similar to, Keeping Faith and The Case for Christ read…

    War is a terrible thing. It destroys lives and can forever change the landscape of the mind and soul. Harold Krebs from Ernest Hemingway’s story “Soldier’s Home” and Norman Bowker from Tim O’Brian’s story “Speaking of Courage” both show that coming home from a military lifestyle and reintegrating themselves into a civilian lifestyle can be both difficult and emotionally draining to one’s self esteem and psyche.…

    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.…

    Military Spouses and the Challenges of Military Life

    MILITARY SPOUSES AND THE CHALLENGES OF MILITARY Abstract Army life is unique to say the least. The subculture, with its own language, rules, acronyms and ways, is foreign to the general population. The Global war on Terrorism has brought more awareness and certainly more curiosity about Army life.

    Biblography

    I can relate so much to this article and what the writer says about “No matter what choice we make whether it be a good or a bad we need to learn from it and take responsibility for our part”. For example when it got close to me getting out of the Marine Core I didn’t take full advantage of the class’s the military offers for Marines when they get out. Theses classes could have helped me get into a job as soon as I got out, so that my family wouldn’t suffer a financial hardship. Now because of my bad decision not only did my life style have to dramatically change so did my families. As hard as it was for myself and my family we pulled together and made it through the tough times. Because I learned from my bad decision I now help out fellow Marines who are talking about getting out, I let them know to take full advantage of class’s the military offers and to try and start saving a little money so when you get out you have a cushion.…

    Admiral William H. Mcraven's Arguement Speech

    At University of Texas at Austin, Admiral William H. McRaven delivered his commencement speech to the class of 2014 in which he discloses the secrets of not only how to succeed in life, but also to make the world a better place. An alumni of the college himself, he begins by reminiscing his own graduation and empathizes with the soon-to-be graduates, figuratively coming down from his high military position to demonstrate that even he, a high ranked official, a revered American hero, is just like them. He fondly and comically remembers he had partied the night before and had a throbbing headache the day of graduation, and that he had a serious girlfriend at the time that later became his wife. The relatability of his anecdote allows him to…
