Academy

The United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence Noncommissioned Officers Academy (NCOA) is an organization founded with standards, and staffed highly skilled NCOs. The NCOA is composed of dedicated personnel with many strengths, but its NCOs are human and therefore the organization is not perfect. The greatest strength of the Academy is the constant effort to improve training, which ironically leads to one of its greatest weakness. That weakness is communication throughout the execution…

learning about the Air Force Academy and the admission process. It was truly a challenge being there, and I loved every minute of it! My visit to the Air Force Academy reinforced my want to attend a service academy. I want to continue being pushed beyond the limits I set for myself. I dream of joining fellow cadets who all…

Attending the United States Military Academy, to serve active duty as an Army Officer has always been a dream of mine. From sophomore year of high school, my research of our countries service academies began. Junior year came around and my journey started after seeing what I would gain through a service academy. Our nations military is in constant need of highly intelligent, talented individuals willing to lead and serve as commissioned officers. They give the leadership and guidance needed to…

My interest in the Naval Academy and the fleet began as just another college option. I have not had any family member serve in the Navy and was rather indifferent to military service, other than my admiration for the men and women who serve. As I continued to explore my options, the Naval Academy remained on the backburner until I visited for the summer STEM program two years ago. As soon as I first walked on post, I instantly knew I loved it--the beautiful old architecture, the shimmering blue…

footsteps. Service academies challenge their cadets physically, morally, and mentally. They challenge cadets to attempt to achieve rigorous academics while also balancing physical training and other obligations. These requirements are essential in creating leadership and responsibility in the lives of the young men and women who attend the academy. I have always enjoyed challenging myself, whether it be in school, sports or other activities which is why I feel the military academy is one of the…

Health Academy has become my favorite academic subject. Health Academy is a pathway that teaches you the many opportunities of the health field; from nurses, radiologist, veterinarian, to many more. I’ve had gained many opportunities from taking this class for two years, especially a great amount of community service. One of the opportunity that i got to learn a large amount of material in a short amount was getting to shadow radiology at a local hospital, John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital, for…

will be burned. In order to obtain a violence free community, a drug academy must be built. Convincing the churches to come together and build this drug academy will not only help fund the academy, but also fulfil God’s divined rights. This will be done by showing them that God’s will is for a community to be safe from all harm and danger. The offering money that each church receive every Sunday will be used to fund the academy. Most churches use offering money to fix up the church and pay…

Why the Naval Academy? I can unequivocally say that graduating from the Naval Academy has been my dream, goal, motivation for as long as I can remember. I’ve done the research; worked with my High School Administration and Guidance office to plan my High School career around being excepted to the Naval Academies Nuclear Engineering Program. In doing so, I've held multiple leadership positions throughout High School; classroom (ranked in the top 10 percent of my graduating class), clubs…

At the Naval Academy, the Honor Concept is good always and everywhere. The Academy is a microcosm of the larger world; however, this microcosm shields us from many greater evils that exist, even if only in rare, exceptional cases, in the real world. I cannot think of a situation at the Academy in which lying, cheating, or stealing would be permissible. In my opinion, lying, cheating, and stealing are only acceptable in life or death situations. Certainly, many of us will break this at one point…

possibility of regaining their range of motion. Prior to my first year of high school, every student was required to choose an academy (An academy is a 4 year course that specializes in a specific field of study such as Fine Arts, Health Science, STEM and Public Services). As a majority of Asian parents had recommended, I was highly suggested to join the Health Science academy. At that time I believed that joining the medical field could benefit others in a greater way than…
