“Get off the bus! And stand on the yellow footprints!” he viciously screamed at the top of his lungs, as his veins almost burst from his forehead. The young scared men, bumping into each other with fear in their eyes, jumped off the bus so fast that they appeared as they were flying off the bus. All the young men frantically scared ran hard to line up on the yellow footprints, which were marked so perfectly on the asphalt at forty-five degree angles. With sweat seeping out of my face and heart…

In Harm’s Way, by Doug Stanton is among the top of my list for truly gripping survival stories. Tasked with a secret mission by the U.S. government; the Indianapolis was moored in the San Francisco Bay - undergoing repair work from her last scuff with the well-disciplined and ruthless Japanese Empire. Caught off guard and seeming almost corralled into the mission, Captain James Butler McVay, a competent and respected man, was ordered to sail components of the world's first operational atomic…

The year was 1843, and the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was bustling with excitement. All over the city, people were running errands, setting up shops, and carrying on with their daily lives. For soon, an important boat would enter the harbor,and it would take its passengers on a journey to the Caribbean Islands. I, David Carson, was 38 years old and employed as one of the many carpenters in the city, but I would be among one of these passengers. I was searching for some new environment in…

An explosion rocked the boat, sending unseen odds-and-ends rolling about the cabin. A girl, wearing her nightgown, clung to a support beam. As the boat steadied—or came as close as it could to steadying—the girl scrambled to gather her things. Flashes of light lit up the night sky, and more explosions mixed with the yells of the crewmen fighting off the opposing ship. The girl had just stuffed some necessities into a carpet bag when she heard loud footsteps making their way toward her cabin.…

Only a little more than half of the people who try out for the Coast Guard are physically in shape for the challenges they need to face in training. Rescue swimmers should not feel safe in the water, however they should have confidence ("Rescue Swimmer"). In fact, the Coast Guard makes it very hard for females to be in the Coast Guard because the women have to be fully capable of everything the males are doing. The Coast Guard requires everyone to be physically fit, be able to participate in…

I found that the Navy and the Coast Guard are actually not too similar but both are very unique and important, although the Navy…

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. They had finally arrived back from the snorkeling trip on the boat. It was a long journey on that ship. They set off sail from the port one week ago, when they were supposed to be out on sea for one day. They left the island one week ago to go snorkeling in the beautiful coral reefs of the Caribbean. It took them aground two hours to get the coral reef. The boat had finally arrived and everyone was so excited, it was so…

“Captain, hatch three is open.” A girl says, peering over her terminal. A tall silhouette stands before her, gripping the side railing, peering through the window out into space. “Don’t-” Before the man could speak, the girl interrupts. “Call you captain, sir?” Turning around, the man squints his eyes. “Where is everybody?” “They’re eating, Captain.” The girl gazes at the man, but only for a short second. The man known as the Captain returns to the window, sighing. Outside, he saw…
