the Armed Forces progressively since World War II. Deseret Storm was a starting point in realizing that women could be an asset, not a detriment, to demanding military positions. Still, any combat related job within each branch had a rule of no females. That all changed in December 2015 when the United States Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter stated that all roles in the military were now open to women. This allows women to try out and be a part of the elite positions within the Armed Forces, a…

Within my organization, there are several examples in which Humble Inquiry could be put to good use. Barriers set up for by social humility and military structure can make it difficult to get tasks accomplished. If we could all learn the art of asking versus telling, these barriers would be less prevalent and we could accomplish our tasks in a less dramatic way. As a military member, it is defined for us how we should treat our superiors. It is customary to always address the officers as…

Resilience can be defined as positive adaption in the face of adversity (Easterbrooks, Ginsbury, & Lerner, 2013).

do not meet the “Standards of Medical Fitness”, I was devastated. From the time that my best friend informed me that she was joining, I wanted to enlist. I took the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery in my senior year of high school and scored high enough to qualify for some of the most advanced positions that the Armed Forces had to offer, including those in the skilled technical field. In fact, the scores that I earned in the Verbal, Math, Spatial and Science and Technical domains were…

Tanaka underscores that he is not endeavoring to find out what the Japanese soldiers did but he starts by talking about the similarity in the abuse and crime that were committed by allied armed forces right after the war. From one perspective, for instance, Japanese warriors had an 'individual decision ' in connection to the abuse of comfort women, which they did without thinking twice, so yes it is a very cruel crime and they should own up…

Canadian Department of National Defense/CF Ombudsman, (2013) identify three areas of challenges for military families which are risk, mobility and separation. Military members are frequently moving or what is commonly referred to as posted in order to meet operational demands without any input or choice about where they will be relocated or knowledge of how long the posting will be. A posting results in a family having to leave behind familial and friend support. Deployments mean that families…

Military science fiction has grown up over the years. Gone are the days when a simple plot would suffice. Readers demanded more of an intricate story, something they can proverbially sink their teeth into. They do not want something that could be read in hours. Because of this demand, story plots are more complex today than in earlier years. In the stories presented this semester, storylines varied, but there was always once central theme: survival. Characters were built up more to accommodate…

So, putting them in front-line combat roles shouldn't take them away for their eagerness to be a part of the army , simply because of their gender. Even though people say women are physically incapable and won't help the army , they should still…
