Soldiers in the 35P Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) face many challenges as the progress through their language school and Advanced Individual Training (AIT). They spend six to 18 months focusing all their attention on learning a second language at an accelerated pace and when they have accomplished that daunting task they are sent to Goodfellow Air Force Base to learn the technical aspect of their MOS, usually another three or four months of training. By the time a 35P Soldier arrives at their first duty assignment they have two or more years of service. They have received extensive training in language and technical aspects of their job, but they have received little, if any, tactical training pertaining to their jobs. For those Soldiers assigned to a FORSCOM unit, the lack of tactical training has posed a problem for tactical unit commanders and they demand a fix.…
Additionally, keeping things fun and rewarding the dog is important to keep the dog from losing interest from any activity. Also, motivating the dog makes all of the hazardous work seem like a game and not something dangerous that will scare the dog away. Rewarding the dog will want it keep training and following orders (puppy institute). Lastly, K-9 dog training never stops. Training is still essential to the dog because the officer and dog must be ready to help in any type of situation that could occur, which has shown amazing results when a K-9 Unit dog saves its officer's life, finds a bomb, or hunts down a suspect with its specialized knowledge and skills (puppy…
According to PETA, “some dogfighters train dogs by forcing them to tread water in pools; run on a treadmill while a caged rabbit, cat, chicken, or other terrified animal is dangled in front of them; or hang on with their jaws while dangling from a chain baited with meat”. some of them include: being forced to tread water, being put on a treadmill with a rabbit, chicken, or cat is dangled in front of them, or hanging on with their jaws while there is meat dangling on the chain. Other tactics to help their dog win are to inject them with steroids, and cut off their ears so other dogs cannot hold on. Another way to encourage aggression is to starve the dogs, keep them penned or chained on a really heavy chain. These dogs have no human contact other than when they are being trained.…

The dogs would use their sense of smell to scope out soldiers, and then lead its handler to the position. This implementation saved the lives of wounded soldiers with a timely response, and the lives of countless soldiers who did not have to wander the land searching. By 1915, German Army dogs had been credited with the saving of over 4,000 wounded men.6 Communication was also a large concern that dogs dealt with during the war. The most dangerous task dogs had was as messengers. Their small stature compared to a…

This passion for animals has not only maintained itself as I have grown and gained new experience and knowledge, but it has evolved immensely. When I was eleven, I began training in the sport of dog agility, where a handler and their dog run through a complex obstacle course. Being a young and nimble grade schooler, I quickly adapted to the sport and its challenges. Although my first dog, Dixie, had many training challenges, our abilities to work through them made us successful. My struggles with her training, accompanied by many tears, carefully shaped me into a better trainer and handler both in and out of competition.…
They help blind people navigate, they help people who have seizures to relieve them and help them get over it faster, and animals help veterans with their countless other problems. The many veterans who have lots of aftermath problems will get an animal that are specifically trained to cater to their needs. It has been proven among the veterans that do have animals that their stress and suicide rates are incredibly lower. Also, while most times the animals are dogs, sometimes cats and other animals are trained to help these people just in case the person taking in the animal is allergic to dogs. “I couldn’t show affection, couldn’t hug my kids” says Soliz (Collins), before taking in a dog, which now he says helps him throughout everyday, whether it be at home or in public.…
Good Evening, it's been a busy week here I finally have a few moments to put some thoughts into an email. A few things about me, I am married to my lovely wife Jennifer and we have two kids in the houses (I also have two kids in Missouri with former spouse). I am finishing up my military career with 20 years as an Unmanned Aircraft Operator with very little IT experience to my name except for troubling video cables or getting power generation running again. I am usually very good with troubleshooting and have a passion to study why something does that do what it does. I am 37 (38 in April) years old and want to have my second career after the military in the IT field.…
Originally, military training was compulsory for male undergraduates, and Berkeley housed an armory for that purpose. In 1917, Berkeley's ROTC program was established, and its School of Military Aeronautics trained future pilots, including Jimmy Doolittle, who graduated with a B.A. in 1922. Both Robert McNamara and Frederick C. Weyand graduated from UC Berkeley's ROTC program, earning B.A. degrees in 1937 and 1938, respectively. In 1926, future fleet admiral Chester W. Nimitz established the first Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps unit at Berkeley. During World War II, the military increased its presence on campus to recruit more officers, and by 1944, more than 1,000 Berkeley students were enrolled in the V-12 Navy College Training Program…
The process of training Soldiers and preparing leaders is a process that takes place every day in an effort to develop and train the best possible unit. This process is broken down into three categories including Unit Training Management, Training Units and Developing Leaders, and how to conduct a Training Meeting. When this process comes together to form a final project, it signifies the Soldiers readiness to be deployed to the Combat Readiness Center. When focusing on Unit Training Management, the commander is the person that controls the tempo and sets the precedence on what he wants his Soldiers to train on based on what guidance he is given from above. This process includes planning training, preparing for said training, and executing…
