The Fire Scout was commissioned by the Department of the Navy to provide them with Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition (RSTA), and Aerial-Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (A-ISR) missions to support Commanders on the ground and at sea. The Fire Scout is a unique type of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) as it has Vertical Takeoff & Landing (VTOL) capability. This alone gives ground Commanders the ability to have a larger UAS at their disposable in most situations…

Somehow this cubicle had never bothered me after 12 years on the force it was just normal to be in this cubicle for most of the day. The town of Catalina only had a population of 10,000 and not much happened for the undercover unit. We had been called out a few weeks ago to assist the state police at the Athens air show to help with controlling the (1) throng of people that came out. I don’t know how this small air show (2) elicited so many people each year. We recently had a (4) former military…

A possible theme for the book “Columbine” is always pay attention and watch for signs. In the book there is many occasions where Eric and Dylan both showed signs of planning something violent. People knew about the pipe bombs, but no one said anything to the cops. Certain people also knew about them owning guns but again nobody said anything to the cops. The cops also had ways of stopping them and had numerous evidence files that Eric was threatening to kill people but everybody ignored the…

I am playing outside in the yard with my dog Rover. Suddenly, I hear an explosive crackling noise that startled me, I turned around to see our house on fire. It seems as if I was in hell fire everywhere and a dusty cloud of black smoke occurred. I panic I can hear screaming from inside of the house. My neighbors running towards the house as I was sitting on the ground in distraught of what I just witnessed. Sitting there with my knees bent against my chest and my arms wrapped around my legs. I…

Bomb disposal is the process in which explosive devices are rendered safe and are properly disposed of. Bomb disposal teams, more commonly referred to as Bomb Squads have the job to identify, defuse and dispose of an explosive device. Bomb squads can be found in each branch of military as well as in our local and state police. Bomb disposal teams in the navy and airforce tend to work on the disposal of explosive chemicals more than they do explosive devices. The Army and Marines are trained more…

I’m currently an active duty Infantry soldier who has served in both the Iraq and Afghanistan Theater. Over the years whether it be family, friends, or even strangers I’ve been asked many times the same particular questions. What about war is hard, why are so many soldiers suffering from PTSD, and what is it like? From the first day of basic training, we are taught that our main focus is to go to war and fight for our country. Our mentally changes and we start to develop an obsession with war.…

Radiological Dispersion Device (RDD) is a combination of conventional explosives (dynamite) and radioactive components (The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 2014). A RDD is any device that causes the resolute diffusion of radioactive material without a nuclear detonation (REMM, 2016).Terrorist who have utilized RDDs have labeled them as dirty bombs (Ready, 2016). However, the United States military recognizes RDDs as Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) (Burton, 2006). The radioactive…

Sangin, Afghanistan is a graveyard for U.S troops and Allied forces. From 2009 to 2012 no other district in Afghanistan has claimed more lives of coalition forces than the Sangin district. The United States and British troops combined have lost over 162 service members while being deployed to the area. While I was deployed to Sangin in 2010, my battalion lost nine Marines in four days during the first few weeks of the deployment. By the end of our deployment, we sustained more casualties…

What is the government's role in protecting you from yourself? Restrictions such as mandatory seat belt laws, mandatory helmet laws, and certain drug laws violate personal freedoms and liberties. Our government’s role in creating laws follows the following: “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our prosperity” (U.S. Const. Preamble). The governing entities around the…

experience across the states and has scarred them for life. Every day more cars are made which makes the risk of a defect in your seat belt higher. Seat belt laws should not be compulsory because it’s an intrusion on our individual rights, people who wear seatbelts are more prone to reckless driving, and your insurance rates would not go down. The population who wear seat belts are more prone to reckless driving. Speeding, texting, changing lanes without looking or using a turn signal,…
