Personal Narrative: A Career As A Military Family Life Counselor
Mrs. Monica Wilcox stated that as a Military Family Life Counselor, all her training were online, therefore, she had to be discipline to finish her training in a timely manner. As a Military Family Life Counselor at the Child Development Center on the military installation, she usually has no co-workers because there is usually one Military Family Life Counselor at each facility. Therefore, she commonly will not have the support from co-workers as most work places do. She said that it can get challenging not having a co-worker that she could talked to face to face She mentioned that she was excited when they sent another Military Family Life Counselor to the facility that she is currently assigned to because they get to discussion current

    Personal Narrative: Death Of A Vietnam Soldier

    Blending as one leaves the feeling of hiding inside the coal dark stone. “I’m stone. I’m flesh.” (line 5) I am as strong as the granite I am viewing but I am still just a man; flesh, blood and bone. My wounds will weep even as I try to hold back my sorrow. The sharp replication of my soul is slanted between the dark evils of war and the light of today where I am still within the battle. I have two paths, two choices, stay with the darkness of the stone or turn away and free myself from the battle inside. It is up to me to act, to make the variance.…

    Personal Narrative: My First Vietnam War

    I am a “boot” adjusting to my new life in kilo company, and corporal has recently returned from a nasty deployment in iraq. He says that he is my father and that he knows what’s best. he kicks sand at me while i am timed to see how fast i can pick up all the yellow cigarette butts he dumped on the floor to “fix” my attention to detail and remind me of my ignorance, as he yells, “you are going to war soon, and I won’t be there to babysit you!” During the deployment workups in the states, we spent weeks patrolling, looking for something that we knew wasn’t real. Digging into defensive positions and waiting the night out for an enemy we knew would never come. Spending rainy nights in muddy holes, fearing what our leaders might do to us if we fell asleep. Firing machine guns, shooting rifles and launching grenades at little green targets…. All of it was just training ops.…

    Personal Narrative: American Legion Family

    Have you ever been in the position of leaving your entire family behind? Well, I have an opportunity to make that choice this coming summer. I have a choice between staying here in the United States and playing baseball for an American Legion Team, The Outlaws, or leaving the US and playing for an Ambassador Baseball Team in the Dominican Republic. This decision is tough considering no one in my family can come along. Also in the sixteen years of my life, I have never been away from my family for an extended amount of time. Mainly, I feel there are three big factors in my decision. These factors are meeting new people with a different background, learning a new language and adapting to a new culture.…

    Personal Narrative: My First Vietnam War

    When you are someone’s support system you take on multiple roles that indirectly deteriorate your self preservation. Being a listener or a shoulder to cry on, requires sacrifices that, in the moment, you do not even recognize as imposing. Voluntarily and willingly being there for someone begins with the unwavering doubt that you and your own problems cannot and will not prevail over your person’s immediate crisis. Depending on the duration of your duty, a somewhat selfish thought of inconvenience is bound to surface. But, that wave of retraction is almost always combatted by a riptide of dedication and loyalty that brings you back to sea, where all you can do is tread. In turn, the suppression of self regarding issues regularly comes with a layer of obligation and a sting of bitterness.…

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To Vietnam

    First off, trip to Vietnam was truly a blessing. I did not expect so much of the trip until the first day I arrived Vietnam. On my first day, I got an opportunity to meet many great people who were selfless; those who cared more about others rather than themselves. It took approximately 14hours in total to arrive at hotel. Even though the plane ride was only about 5hours, since it was a group trip, it took extra time to ensure everyone is in right place. Despite the exhaustion and drowsiness, no one complained but encouraged others. I was already touched by grace of God before we even began our mission trip. On the second day, I volunteered for the medical service. There were two activities including the medical service, and house painting…

    Military Spouses and the Challenges of Military Life

    Today’s military is a military of families. About half of active-duty members are married as they enter their fifth year of service, and about three-fourths are married as they enter their tenth year of service. Therefore, in supporting the service member, manpower policy must often also support the member’s family. Family considerations are apparent in policies on housing, health care, child care, dependents’ schools, and compensation for separation from family members. Many military spouses work in the labor force and contribute to their family’s material well-being, yet at the same time they must accommodate the demands the military makes of the member in the form of training, drills, inspections, education, exercises, peacetime operations, and hostile deployment. Also, the member is periodically reassigned, and permanent change-of station (PCS) moves generally require the working wife to leave one job and find another.

    It was about seven in the evening and I got a call from my friend, letting me know she and her grandmother had made it home. Her grandmother is in her 60’s, so there wasn’t much texting going between us. I’d been trying to catch up with her all day to interview her, but I guess she had a very busy weekend. I finally arrived to the house just ready to get the interview over with.…

    Personal Narrative: Implementing Change Through Military Social Work

    Life has a peculiar way of leading you to your passion(maybe change wording). I discovered this passion in an unlikely place: an airfield hangar on a military installation. I was working for a military specific program, providing non-medical counseling to service members and their families. My professional experience up to this point had consisted primarily of working with at-risk youth. I was walking in unchartered territory, but as a military spouse, I had learned to be flexible when it came to finding work. I had been on the job for 4 weeks when I received a call from the base chaplain that a young airman had died by suicide. The chaplain requested my colleagues and I to be present to provide support and resources to anyone who needed it as the news was released that one of their fellow airman had died. As the chaplain and squadron commander released the news, I watched as looks of sadness, panic, shock and disbelief spread among the men and women standing in that airfield hangar. I dutifully did as requested; I made my way through the airfield hangar, talking to the airmen, providing support, listening to stories of their friend who was gone too soon, trying to help them make sense of something that just didn’t make sense. Standing there among these men and…

    Military Personal Statement Examples

    I have had a keen interest in the Department of the State for 12 years. I am a big proponent of diplomacy and it has been a dream to represent the United States in working with people around the world to help spread our interests abroad and work toward a spirit of cooperation and mutual understanding. During my time as an active duty member of the United States Air Force (USAF), I became aware of positions to serve at embassies around the world. I applied for a few positions at embassies in Sudan and Uganda, but the USAF needed me to perform other missions, so I was not selected for embassy duty. As I neared retirement, I continued to pursue my interest in joining the Department of the State team by taking the Foreign Service Officer test…
