United States military enlisted ranks

Like the average American, the United States Military and the Red Cross have a special bond, but to a service man or women, this bond is much more. Throughout the history of the International Red Cross Society and the American Red Cross, the need to help military members in a time of need has always been one of its major mission and vision statements. Although there are many ugly faces to war, the birth of the Red Cross came from the need to help those during these times or struggle and…

He has given me the safety of knowing that I will be guarded and looked after. The freedom of having pride in myself and my country, and the opportunities to become anything I can imagine. He has given me the knowledge that not every job in the military is combat, but they must work as a collective to accomplish their mission. He has helped families like mine to contact and reach their soldiers, and provide the knowledge that their soldiers are still well. He has also had the displeasure of…

“Down, But Not Out.” “There it is Privates!” Drill Sergeant Gonzales yelled. As we all rounded the narrow and winding road through the Ozark Mountains, my heart began to race. All 250 of us slowed down to form a formation in front of what appeared to be the biggest climb we had seen and were not expecting to see for the next few weeks. Screaming at the top of his lungs, Drill Sergeant Galloway said “This is Engineer Hill, and starting in two minutes you all have thirty minutes to make this…

Congratulations. (Comm. S) Chief, are we going to follow the agenda? (Comm. A) Pretty close, except I think Captain McKee has a presentation that he wants to make. (Chief) I am going to start off with having Brad Elston and his wife come forward. Brad has been with the department for 20 years, and I think that is monumental. He has done a lot of things with the department; he is currently a K-9 handler and a Corporal. He has done a wonderful job out on the street and is making himself better…

The thief began making turns, hoping to lose some of the dead behind them, but keeping his speed down. They headed back toward Presque Isle, wanting to get across the railroad in order to have more room to maneuver. The truck slowed at Peninsular drive to check both ways, almost colliding with a pair hummers. The laser detachment was excited to see their platoon leader. "Where were you guys" the lieutenant asked? The sergeant in charge answered embarrassed "We were down at the beach,…

World War I saw the United States’ first attempt at running a massive national army of citizen soldiers. Through the conflict, the military authority structure for running this army was still solidifying, and the enlisted men, a.k.a. the “doughboys,” had a substantial amount of power in dictating the nature of the relationship between themselves and the structure that commanded them. The military higher-ups found themselves on many occasions having to coerce the soldiers to comply with orders.…

First Term Paper My Senior Enlisted Leader, Senior Chief Medina, stressed that even though he believes there is a clear right answer to this case study, but it is not an easy decision to make. The mission is very important, and in the Constitutional Paradigm the mission falls just below the Constitution. Accomplishing the mission would make the Skipper look good and in doing so make me, the Division Officer, look good. Great measures must be taken to accomplish the mission, but the mission is…

the United States military because they fought for our freedom, and who is not appreciative of that? People always hear great stories about military veterans who won medals or executed extraordinary task. Not a lot of people hear stories or firsthand accounts from the regular enlisted or ex-soldiers. Kenneth Brazile Sr. was one of those great but average people to serve in this great nation’s military. He was in the Army way back in time around 1989. He was not a special person in the military,…

Former US representative, Our nation's military and law enforcement personnel work hard to protect us. We must thank them for their continued vigilance. Without their sacrifice we would less capable of protecting our nation. When Javon was little he was never really sure what he wanted to be in life. Growing up I Javon had learned about some of his family was military, so he decided he wanted to serve my country proudly. Also I like the fact that we can conduct vehicle searches, open areas, and…

defence forever. The United States defence budget has been bigger than it has even been, matching the same budget as the next 5 countries combined. As Jon Huntsman likes to put it “If we can't find cuts in the defense budget, we're not looking carefully enough” (BrainyQuote.com). This expenditure…
