So, I have been to an event in the recent years called the Blue Angels air show. The reason I decided to go to the Blue angel’s air show was because I was in the AFROTC. The AFROTC set up a trip to go see the Blue Angels because we were going to help the show by doing community service by directing cars and picking up trash amongst a few other things. The Blue Angels are people in jets that do tricks and other things such as flips and rolls with jets. “The Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Chester…

The first step to trying to become a marine is meps which from start was frustrating and pushing our endurance to a breaking point. There was a physical, a ton of questions and a lot of waiting for the next part within the progress. There's so many people there of authority figure shouting commands and orders all at once just to make sure you follow the progress and pass to swearing in front of a flag and say the vow. This showed a future, a door that was opened just for me and whether i was…

The dolphin pin is one of the greatest pins in the United States Navy. It signifies the mental, emotional, and physical qualifications necessary for sailing on a submarine. The most challenging, though, would be the mental and emotional requirements for sailing. Being in an isolated metal bubble of air hundreds of feet under water really takes a toll on a person’s sanity. It takes a real battle-hardened person to sail on a submarine. Usually, a submarine has no windows to prevent leaks and…

As the oar hit the water they began to hear something. It sounded like thumping or like the earth was shaking, suddenly hundreds of people which seemed like and army came out of nowhere. Half of the people went to one side and and the other half to the other side, when only one was left in the middle to speak. She demanded to know where they came from, who they were, and what they wanted from them. They replied that they came from England, and that they were travelers seeking new land. They…

Stephen Decatur was born in 1779 to an immigrant family. At age twenty-five, Stephen Decatur was the youngest person ever to become a captain in the U.S. Navy.

Along with leading a victorious campaign against Tripoli and successful endeavors in the War of 1812, he coined the phrase, “Our country, right or wrong.” Ultimately Stephen Decatur’s actions throughout his time in the navy generated a…

In the early 1920’s, a group of dauntless Norwegian sailors attempted a voyage no one had ever successfully mastered. Through the rushing, diligent, and harsh waters of the cold Antarctic these men voyaged to the isolated island of Bouvet. As this accomplishment was exciting enough, the zoologist on board, Ditlef Rustad, discovered a fish like no other vertebrae ever seen. The Chaenocephalus aceratus, as it was deemed, changed thoughts of evolution with its physical appearance,defied rules of…

played a significant role in Canadian history in the period of 1914-1929. There were many examples of how immigrants of Chinese descent were excluded from society in this time period. One way that they were excluded and relegated to a dark sector of society was the Chinese head tax. Up until 1923, the Chinese head tax was being enforced and meant that Chinese immigrants would be paying $500 per person to immigrate to Canada. The Chinese head Tax was an attempt by the Canadian government to…

unpalatable choices and the reality of the environment-capability gap, leaders often cycle back to prior phases in the design process . The British Royal Navy confirmed this regression when they dismissed the findings of the 1924-1925 Newport simulations, which revealed superior advantage to carriers that could mass aircraft in repetitive pulses. Although, the Royal Navy lacked this capability, they discounted emerging doctrine from the US Marine Fleet Exercises and the Tentative Manual…
