    I have a strong desire to become an officer in the United States Navy. To achieve this goal I wish to be accepted into Officer Candidate School where I will later graduate with a commission as an Ensign. I believe myself to be of both strong mind and body, and I accredit this to my commitment to my school, my work, and my training.

    There are many benefits to a country by women and men joining our government military. While there is a benefit I think the decision should be voluntary. Serving is not for everyone. I would never think a draft is a good thing, because it isn't right to involve a person to go to war .I can understand asking people who are for a war and in line with their government to go to war. I can't see anything spot-on in sending people who are of different political beliefs than their government, or people who are against war, to fight in any war.…

    It was a very unique experience to me, and it allowed me the gain confidence in my ability to make decisions that have very high consequences. Meticulous attention to detail allowed me to be successful not only in the numerous uniform, record, and equipment inspections one faces in the military, but in practice allowed me to notice even the smallest irregularities in roadways, terrain, and environment that kept my fellow Marines out of harm’s way.
