    Coastal Medical Center was founded after World War II using the Hill-Burton Act and by raising funds locally. From a modest beginning with 100 beds and a limited number of services offered, the medical center has grown significantly with 450 beds and now offers a full range of services.

    SNC did not brief enemy actions and remaining explosive charges on the bridge as well as provided a vague enemy situation that did not mention the direction of movement. SNC provided a mission statement that provided the who, what, when, where, why, and included the main effort. SNC gave a detailed scheme of maneuver that was well planned and specifically tasked out down to his individual fire team members. SNC began to slow down as he progressed forward as he did not effectively utilize his fire team to traverse the wall and became stagnant. SNC was able to develop a plan that employed each fire team member according to his abilities but became stuck again as they started scaling the wall due to improper oversite of the directed plan.…

The church siphoned our resources to the brink of poverty, but we were happy all the same. Through the eyes of a jaded 5-year-old, everything was but a perfect utopia, neither a problem nor a care in the world.…
