Corps

understanding of education and learning processes through pursuit of a Master of Arts in Learning Sciences in order to effect systemic change in the Marine Corps' processes for instruction and instructor development. With 10 years as a Marine officer and three as an instructor at entry- and mid-career level schools, I became well-versed in the Marine Corps’ model to rapidly instruct and develop both junior and senior Marines. This is when my interest in education piqued and I dedicated time…

had no hope. One of those successful agencies was the CCC–Civilian Conservation Corps. Locally there is Clarkco State Park in Quitman, MS that was founded and built by the CCC. Currently there is the CCC Legacy that was founded to not let the history and purpose of the CCC die after it was disbanded in 1942. There is much to learn about the CCC, both past, present, and future. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) is one of the many alphabet soup agencies that President Franklin D.…

Peace Corps Life is definitely not easy, although many people see volunteers pictures of beautiful beach sunsets, views, scenery, and think that our life is more of a whimsical vacation than anything else, those are often fleeting moments of happiness that we cling too during the vast amounts of difficult cultural and language situations being navigated everyday. I have spent the first few months just finding my footing; where I belong in the organization, how I fit in, and sitting in on…

Narrative- On 13Feb17 at 1306 hrs. I, Deputy Halbasch, was asked to speak with Cristin Burmayer in reference to her daughter, Sara Evans, skipping school on a regular basis recently. Cristin informed me she wished for Sara to be placed at Evergreen Shelter in Bemidji as Sara once again skipped school in Walker. Cristin stated she had to depart this morning for work before Sara was to get a ride to school from her friend, Madison Zismer. Later in the morning, Cristin found out from the school…

Joining Peace Corps has been on my mind for a number of years; however, I have always been hesitant due to my own self-doubt. I questioned my ability to live away from my family for such a long length of time, and I was worried about what would this opportunity mean for the professional ladder I was trying to climb. However, life has recently taught me that although there are challenges, I do not want to live a life of regret. My family means a lot to me. I have three nephews who have…

This training has shaped me into a new man. The U.S. Marine Corps training is worse than you could ever imagine. They take you in, and they break you down, turning you into the man they want and need you to be. They're hard on us, harder than mom and dad ever were. I thought it would be easier than this, but boy oh boy was I wrong. I know that those who are training us just was us to be strong and to succeed, but it's immensely brutal. Although all of this is horrible now, I can't wait…

1) While at my first placement at the Penobscot Job Corp center, I learned three valuable lessons. The first thing that I learned was self-motivation and its overall importance in the learning process. The Penobscot Job Corp center is not the same as a traditional school. There are similarities, but overall, the students at the center have to be self-motivated learners. In the class that I observed, there are no lectures. Rather, students are expected to utilize the computers in the class and…

Today marks a very special day in Canada, the 72nd anniversary of the battle that marked the end of the biggest war in history. D-Day was long, treacherous, and seemingly unbearable battle- yet our soldiers came out victorious. Here to share what it was truly like in the trenches is blank blank. Why, from your perspective, was the D-Day campaign significant? At the time the planning and strategizing that went into preparation for D-Day was far greater then any other battle before it.…

This paper will attempt to further support the claim made by Tim Cook that rum was more than a drink, but a “medicine” for Canadian soldiers during the Great War. However, he asserts that prohibition was viewed as “patriotic” for those back in Canada. The dichotomous perspectives of rum and its necessity during the war is prevalent in the pieces by Cook and Thompson, as well as the primary documents consisting of letters sent home from soldiers that address and make mention of rum. The paper…

Many Know that the Canadian army is small but the victories and impression we have left will be forever remembered. "We have long said that when Great Britain is at war, we are at war; to-day we realize that Great Britain is at war and that Canada is at war also" – Wilfred Laurier. Our involvement in WWI was based off Britain going to war against Germany. Vimy Ridge is what turned heads during WWI, showing our militaries prowess. Canada’s amount of raw materials Canada that we exported to…
