Eagles

Section #1 – Operation Eagle Claw After reading this Real World Self-Leadership Case I feel there is a few things that could have went differently. “During the evacuation, a collision between two of the aircraft caused an explosion and fire that claimed the lives of eight U.S. servicemen” (Neck, Manz, & Houghton, 2017). Even though a tragic accident happened “in my personal opinion” does not have anything to do with the plan of the mission. When they had planned out this mission they did not…

As I received the final approval for my project required to become an Eagle Scout, I knew I was undertaking a task that would be much greater than anything I’ve completed in the past. This would be the pinnacle of my scouting career. One can find Gleason Cemetery burrowed in a little alcove on the side of a brush lined road near Molalla, Oregon. Seldom visited, the families of those buried are either deceased or don’t care enough to pay any respects to their late ancestors. My father gave me the…

Bald Eagle Times #58 Music in WWII To the faithful readers of the Bald Eagles Times: In contrast to the other recently published articles, this is not your typical war story. In fact, it is not even directly related to the war. It is actually a story of the evolution of music leading up to and even throughout the war. Music, it is safe to say, is what kept the nation together. It gave us a fallback which we could all enjoy, regardless of our situation in life, race, or economical status. In…

begins to mimic California’s dry weather. Now, because of a mistake that no one can undo, a scenic part of my home state is engulfed in flames and people are debating the appropriate punishment for those who started the fire. The heartbreak of the Eagle Creek fire: Editorial is an editorial written by The Oregonian/OregonLive Editorial Board. The Oregonian is the daily paper for Portland Oregon, my hometown.

In the poem by Joy Harjo called “Eagle Poem,” she talks about prayer and life and how they revolve around Mother Nature. She says that while being one with nature we feel we are in a place we haven’t imagined. There are plenty of things we would love to do in that calming place. “Eagle Poem” sticks to one extended metaphor throughout the entire poem. Alongside the use of the extended metaphor, Harjo uses other literary devices such as similes, repetition, and imagery to convey her message. The…

“Na…The chief knew we were going to need some help after the quake so he sent 4 of his best guys to us. They were already on their way right before our uninvited guests showed up. Our chopper guy reported to him after the first quake and I think Chief Eagle Feather felt we needed the help when he was told about Boulder man… Kyle nods his head, recalling the events of Boulder man… ”I really need to watch what I say around people don’t I, Kyle ask?.” Kyle had a moment of silence as he complicated…

This shows me the whole transition from childhood to adulthood. Going through Scouting has been a huge event in my life for several reasons, one being that I would always be learning how to…

experimental history of various drilling and hydraulic fracture methodologies that have been successfully transferred to other shale plays (Grieser et al. 2006; Samuelson et al. 2012; Browning et al. 2013). Following success of Barnett Shale, the Eagle Ford Shale emerged as an unconventional gas play in 2008 but rapidly and robustly evolved to an oil play, owing to price advantages of liquids, relative to gas. Economics of shale gas and oil…

It is a culmination of the effort I expended from the time I was a tiger cub to the moment my mother pinned it on my breast. It’s my Eagle Scout medal, and it’s my greatest achievement. My most formative experience was the year I spent as senior patrol leader, and it was crucial to my achievement of this medal. I was a mere sophomore, who was tasked with turning around a declining troop, sometimes having to make some difficult decisions. This experience shaped me into the young man I am today…

One of my most meaningful service experiences was my Eagle Scout project. One of the requirements for obtaining the rank of Eagle is that the Scout must complete a service project that benefits the community; my project was to fundraise, organize, and oversee construction of a new pavilion at the Fowler Center for Outdoor Learning, a special needs camp, near Mayville, MI. The Fowler Center is a non-profit organization and a year round camp for kids with special needs. One of their programs,…
