Transformation of the United States Army

Before the Air Force I never had a plan and was what most would say a wild child. I didn’t have a clue where I was headed in life and worked a dead end job that would never put me anywhere else but living with my mother until she was tired of me and made me leave. I was always out and partying and just had no sense of direction until one day I had a realization and decided to join the world greatest Air Force. People always said the military changed you, I never ever thought it would change me…

Army Story Believe it or not, before I joined the Army I didn’t want anything to do with pain, death or fear, I was scared of the world and I wanted to protect myself. So how was I going to do that you ask? I decided that I was going to be a nun. I grew up in Lomita, California with my mom, dad and four sisters, and with all those girls there was bound to be some trouble. My two oldest sisters got heavily involved with drugs and among other things, my third oldest sister died when she was 17.…

When induvial requested to gain access to the 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s Current Operations Integration Cell (COIC), I verified their information in JPAS and when needed escorted induvials to their appropriate locations. I directly briefed the Commanding General of 21st theater Sustainment Command on issues related to his Commanders Intelligence Requirements. I was chosen over 7 superiors to conduct in-depth briefs to the CG and his Staff on 21st TSC’s Area of Responsibility,…

against the British in the aptly understated title A Respectable Army by James Kirby Martin and Mark Edward Lender wish to explode. Instead, they suggest that the war was really won by paid soldiers, not by volunteers, and it is them we have to thank for our freedom, not the prototypical rag-tag farmer with a musket. Rather than a citizen-solder, Martin and Lender stress that for most of the war, the majority of the colonial army had a relatively small percentage of landed farmers. The vast…

Should soldiers in the continental army stay? Help fight for independence or stay with their families? During the year 1775, this is what many soldiers debated. George Washington, the leader of the army, was being troubled by the army. Soldiers kept on leaving and not coming back while others just left. The British were camping at Philadelphia so the army decided to make a fort at Valley Forge. There were no bed but stray and mud on the floor, the weather was very cold, and the smoke of the fire…

Ever since I was younger, I’ve wanted to be in the Army. It’s what I grew up knowing since my father was gone on deployment when I was 4. I want to make my family proud, do what my father did, and make something out of my life. I come from a military family and I'm going to continue the tradition, not only for them, but to serve my country and challenge myself physically and mentally. My great grandfather was in the Army infantry and so was my father. My great grandfather was in the Vietnam…

I hoisted the missile launcher onto my shoulder and surveilled the battlefield through the telescopic sight. Infrared imaging revealed an enemy tank concealed amid the landscape. I narrowed the crosshairs around the vehicle and pulled the trigger. The self-guidance system steered the warhead into the target, successfully concluding the virtual training program for the Javelin Missile. This achievement provided immense satisfaction as I had dedicated the past three months towards renovating the…

more than 200 years, the Army has been a wellspring of professional values. With recent wars, technology, and human rights freedoms and protections, the Army failed to police their own. Plagued with rape, sexual assault, and Soldiers violating human rights during battle the Army began to lose the peoples’ trust of policing their own. In recent years, the Army has recognized this issue and multiple times attempted to correct the problem. In the last few years, the Army has introduced…

Have you ever wondered why the Army calls itself a profession? Let’s think about that for a minute. The Army calls itself a Profession stated in the student handout (2010) “earn the trust of their clients through their ethics which is their means of motivation and self-control” (p.2). The Human Resource Sergeant plays a role in supporting the Army’s culture. The Army Profession relies on trust. Trust is the firm belief in the reliability or strength of someone or something.
