because I do not meet the “Standards of Medical Fitness”, I was devastated. From the time that my best friend informed me that she was joining, I wanted to enlist. I took the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery in my senior year of high school and scored high enough to qualify for some of the most advanced positions that the Armed Forces had to offer, including those in the skilled technical field. In fact, the scores that I earned in the Verbal, Math, Spatial and Science and Technical…

I am seeking a nomination to the United States Air Force Academy because I believe it is the best way for me to reach my goal of becoming a leader in our nation’s armed forces. The Academy is a place where I know I will always put my best foot forward. I felt a strong pull towards the academy when I started looking at colleges in 10th grade but attending the summer seminar sealed it in my heart and mind that this is the place where I want to be this fall. I know that, by having the opportunity…

This section of the fandom has the distinction of being recognized at almost all Brony conventions for their military service and their presence at these events alters people’s perceptions about Bronies. Similar to previous sections of this project, there are a number of service members who were not comfortable at first letting others know that they were watching My Little Pony.

enlistment in general, it may be that females themselves understand what men go through and realize the qualifications it takes. On the other hand, females get benefits like males and also have a chance to extend their contract time when a prior service time runs out. Professor Melissa Embser-Herbert states that "Combat positions should be open to those who are qualified, regardless of sex. Note that the question is not whether women should be permitted to serve in combat. That's because people…

I chose Do women in combat weaken armed forces because my dad’s in the military. I want to go to the Military but there's a lot of sexist things about women, so I thought that I should write a paper about it. I want to see how many people agree with me. Women go forward for every duty, including combat. A few of the public objections raised to this decision were met with derision other than argument. To the point that strength continues to matter, some women can meet requirements and should be…

Everyone has read, at one point or another, the heart-wrenching tale of partners being separated by war and of the trials and tribulations of them persevering through such a trying time. It is a very well-known story because it is easy to imagine how one would feel without their significant other. Imagining this scenario from a child’s perspective, however, is not.
