    Every year we celebrate Veterans Day on November 11th. Veterans Day is a day where we honor the men and women, dead or alive who served in the military. There are four different branches of the military; Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines, and each branch plays a unique role in our country.

    It has been a big step for me, leaving my job of five years in the Australian Army to come try something like the Foundation studies program, something that a few years ago, I’d never dreamed of doing. After school got accepted into University but was not sure if I would enjoy it, and was not confident that I would choose a University course that I would enjoy for four years. I wanted to do science but not sure of which branch of science I wanted to go into, so I decided that I would join the Army. Joining the Army, to me, was the best decision of my life, it enabled me to get out and see Australia and have some life experiences that I would not get anywhere else. Since being in the Army I have developed a passion for psychology and the Foundation studies program is a pathway that can take me there.…

    We Must Fight When I joined the military, like many other newbies, I had no idea what to expect. I had always had a keen interest in everything war related and it seemed like a god way to run away from the responsibility of college classes. In the beginning, it was all very over whelming and information was thrust upon you in a fast and seemingly unorganized manner. I’ll be honest, at 18 years old, when I called my mom for the first time, I was in tears.…
