All of the militaries time and money being out towards sexual assault are being used on repetitive training that is obviously not working because the numbers of sexual assaults going the wrong direction every year.

struggled in the past to perceive the correct tone and organization in my writing. That was my main focus from my first paper, the synthesis essay, to my last paper, the RBAA essay.

My RBAA essay, “The Issue of Sexual Assault in the Military,”…

One person comes to mind when I think of someone that has the most power and influence in my unit where I work. Master Sergeant Alves is one of the full time military members in my unit. In most military units the commander is…

In my time since joining I have learned a lot and met many people from all walks…

things do take place while at basic training, they are meant for a much greater purpose: to form strong individuals that excel in teamwork and are willing to push their personal limits as far as they can reach. Basic training is divided among three phases: red phase, white phase, and blue phase. During the red phase, when the recruits arrive they will go through general orientation, receive haircuts and be issued a military uniform. When that is done they will begin “Basic Tactical Training,…
