Candidate Shankling's Case Study

Decent Essays
Candidate Shankling demonstrated an understanding of the five paragraph order. SNC initially struggled with his confidence during the brief, but was able to follow the format and make sense of the order. SNC developed a plan prior to giving his order and was able to assign tasks for security set up. SNC was able to maintain control of his fire team throughout the mission due to the position he had placed himself which allowed him to eventually recognize the need to re-position the team as needed. He hesitated for a brief second which showed that SNC might have been afraid to make a decision by asking for a volunteer to mount to plank and execute the obstacle. As soon as he encountered a point of friction, one of the planks fell in the water

    Most people believe that the outcome of elections in Texas is decided by the voters, but in our current single-member district system of electing representatives, frequently that is not the case. Often times who will win in an election is decided long before election day, usually by those who draw the district lines. For example, if the districts in texas are drawn to be 65 percent republican then the outcome will most likely result in republicans that have the majority of seats in the legislature. In a single member district system, only one member can be elected to congress for each district, that is why drawing the district lines is by far one of the most important aspects for a party to win seats. The parties assure their representatives…

    Managing to break free from the first set of waves, I pushed forth into the next set of unceasing five foot waves. With legs bent upwards and arms plunging one after the other in a Michael Phelps mentality to finish the race with swift strokes, I kept my body centered in the middle of my seven foot board just like my grandpa positioned me to do so. With a split second to pause and raise my head to look over an oncoming wave, I made out the face of my grandpa, looking back at me from his own board and grinning at the look of my determined face to get out into the line-up. Eminent to the gray-haired “townies” who create their own spindrift from whipping the tail of their boards high in the air, is a homely beach, Rockpiles.…
