To myself, service to country is one the greatest feeling you could ever imagine. I know this feeling from my 4 years of service in the Marine Corps. When I got out in 2012, I went to school, got a job and joined the rest of the world. You notice a different between a civilian and someone in the military. You have a since of pride and selflessness about you that you will not find anywhere else. Since I have been out, I have worked full time in a dairy manufacturing company while going to school…

Drum corps is an activity that I feel very strongly about, as well as the group of people that form the community, joining and doing it has been one of the best…

My sophomore year of high school, I was accepted into the Saber’s Marching Pride Flag corps. At my high school, all freshmen are required to play their instruments because the music is the most important part of the show. Also, it requires the kids to focus on marching basics, drill reading, and learning how to roll step, different from the flag corps where they jazz walk. I have performed with flag corps for the last three years which were named: Groovy Baby, Muevas Sus Huesos, Seven years.…

In recent years, some historic upheavals include the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the removal of gender-restrictions on military occupational specialties.

I left the city around 9:00am and got to Glenmont around 12:45pm. When I arrived on the center of Glenmont Job Corps everything looked…

prestigious mile stone in their life, which it is for some, I saw mine as becoming a member of a 241 year old fraternity of great leaders, warriors, and hero’s. I chose to join the United States Marine Corps. I saw no better place to learn true leadership and life skills than the military, specifically the Marine Corps. There are few professions in life where one is forced to make critical decisions under intense, dangerous, and life changing circumstances. This fraternity, as I call it, has…
