Retained Personnel

Veterans are a group of people that write a blank check totaling their life to the government. They fight to defend our country and every American citizen. Then when their service is done they come home to be unnerved and underappreciated. Veterans are: mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, and friends. The main thing we should do is make them known to others, so they know that we are there for them and let them know their service is more than appreciated, and we…

The United States Armed Forces and veterans have sacrificed their entire lives to protect those of civilians, and because of that they deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and care. Unfortunately, many veterans never fully recover from their military careers, and are left either partially or completely disabled due to physical and/or mental injury. This leaves them unable to work and provide for themselves and their families. An even smaller portion of these veterans were left disabled…

People in the military go through some traumatising situations during their service. They see some bad events and are put in some bad positions. From experiencing these traumatic things it is understandable that veterans may suffer from mental illnesses like, PTSD, depression, anxiety and physical disabilities as an effect of the war. One of the most common and worse mental illnesses veterans suffer from is post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a disorder characterized by failure to…

With so much wrong in America today, I believe that it can only get better. Because many veterans struggle when they return from war, they will be provided with a variety of programs to help them deal with life after war. Shootings and other gun accidents will go down immensely, especially school shootings. People will not be living on the streets and go to bed hungry. Cars will be made cheaper and more efficient. I foresee changes like these in America’s future. When soldiers come back to…

Through the years when veterans return home they are either treated as heros or outcasts. These men and women often have trouble finding jobs and some even need some form of treatment. With the lack of veteran programs most of these people do not get the proper aid they need when they return. A large number of them have trouble finding jobs to pay for the medical attention they desperately need. Veterans are discriminated against by the lack of programs to support them. Currently there are very…

Everyday soldiers get deployed, leaving the peaceful life. They don't know that when they get back everything will change. They don't know that they won't be taken care of because of their sacrifices. They don't know that they will come back from the war empty handed, with no money, with no career, and with depression. And worst of all they don't know that they will likely end up in the streets with no legitimate home. All because they didn't know that the government wouldn't try harder to give…

Veterans play an important role in society today and the history of not only America as a whole, but the people who live in it. They have earned us our freedom and our rights, and even continue to help even after leaving the battlefield, whether by actively playing a role in their community or going on living the lives they earned for America. Having no veterans would signify no victorious battles or even fights to begin with. The veterans that America celebrates show that America stood and…

Closure in Lycidas What is the right response to death? How and to what extent should we mourn the ones we love? When John Milton's college friend, Edward King, drowned off of the Welsh coast 1, Milton wrote Lycidas in memoriam. A pastoral elegy, the poem represents King as the lost shepherd Lycidas and uses agricultural imagery to portray loss. The majority of the poem is spent highlighting the irrevocability and completeness of death, that is until lines 165-168: "Weep no more, woeful…

Student Affairs Administration Examination: Question 1 In the last 10 years, a number of reports have been issued by the preeminent student affairs associations, specifically the American College Personnel Association and the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. These seem to be in a pursuit to frame the future direction of the student affairs profession. Reports such as the Student Learning Imperative (SLI) (ACPA, 1996) and Principles of Good Practice (ACPA/ NASPA, 1997)…

training recommendations are concerned, I feel that you need to take some Joint Personnel Recovery Agency Courses (JPRA), specifically, Personnel Recovery 300 and 301 (PR 300 and 301). You will need these courses as you begin to work more on the operational side of our career field and these courses will help you out tremendously on your upcoming deployment. These particular courses will shed light on many aspects of personnel recovery and will help to complement your preferred roles of…
