Personal Narrative: My First Day Of The United States Air Force
The coach bus door erupted openly with such an enormous force, I felt my spine blench. I was accost in the early dawn before the sun had risen to the crisp morning air; however, the morning air was not nearly as frigid as the next few moments awaiting me. This is my first day of the United States Air Force Basic Training. Tall men in uniforms and prodigious military hats suppurated around me. The men yelling obscenities. I couldn't help being affected by the barrage of verbal abuse flowing from this welcoming committee. Regardless, one question they asked stood out to me in particular,

So, I decided to use Honor Flight Oral Stories website, and I was able to watch five videos. The videos I watched were of Karl and Helen Norton, Clarence “Bud” Schick, Edward Davis, Charlie Smith, and James Gau. I found the stories that these people told very interesting.…

    It was a Thursday morning in November. I woke up, got dressed and got ready to take a taxi to 42nd Street in Manhattan with my mother.

    The bloody plane was shot down…I was sleeping dreaming about a concoction of fish and chips and my home before the war. I lived on a farm, and I had my own horse…I miss him. My dad taught me how to ride when I was four; riding would provide me relief from school and farming. Anyways, I then I awoke to a storm of fire. The plane was literally sliced in two. I think the beastly enemy shot us down. Even though they shot us clean out of the sky, I wish to thank them and show some British manners to them because this island is beautiful. It has fruit, and the sights are more beautiful than anything back home. There are even pigs on the island that we could eat. Sadly, I thought myself alone until a booming noise thundered through the jungle. I was scared; I thought it was an earthquake, although I have never experienced one before.…

    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.…

    Induction Day at the Naval Academy is the first day for all midshipmen on a sweltering June day in Annapolis. For the class of 2017, Induction day was June 27, 2013. New plebes are mulling around in a single file line pouring out of an ominous building where fresh high school graduates entered and frightened children wearing all white canvas bags dumped into the loading docks. The white stone bare aside from the crest of the academy loomed over me as I stood silently waiting for my costume change. I waited to check in wearing the worst middle-aged woman khakis and nautical striped shirt to ever be produced. My hair was cut and resembled an orange cereal bowl on my head. Seven in the morning was when I said good-bye and stepped inside the building leaving my family at the doors.…

    The date is January 3rd, 2010 and I am on a bus headed for basic training, a four-month long process. I have a million thoughts rolling through my head. I have no idea what to expect. All I know is that I’m not in Texas anymore. I look out my window and see snow everywhere and soldiers walking in formation. The bus starts to take off toward the barracks, which I will call home for the next few months. Out of nowhere, three drill sergeants stand up and start talking to us about what we’re going to be doing. Everyone always thinks drill sergeants are just people who are paid to yell and scream at new soldiers to prepare them for war, but as my drill sergeants were talking to me, they seemed very nice and relaxed. Then it all changed for the worse.…
