United States Navy Hospital Corpsman

The trauma from that experience sparked my interest in healthcare. This will not be the last time I will experience these emotions, but a reminder of why I chose this field. It was a pivotal moment that would help me discover my passion for emergency medicine in later years to come. Having no desire for college debt but also not wanting to be a product of my impoverished environment of South Carolina; I joined the United States Navy in 2006. It was the only option available since I had no guidance on career paths. My parents had no formal education past high school, and that drove me to take a different path in life. Thanks to that decision, eight years…

College is very expensive and tuition is rising dramatically each year which is why I would also like to join the Navy and get a free education. Although I would have to go to a college that offers NROTC in order to get tuition assistance, it will be well worth it. After I retire from the Navy, I will use my major and become a registered nurse. My goal in this paper is to inform the reader on what my plans are for after I graduate high school. To…

The British navy, what was first thought to be a second line of defense during the Elizabethan era, after the 1640s, it was realistic to think of it as first line of defense. As Britain rise as a powerful navy, allowing England to flourish as a country as a whole, the question behind Britain’s motivation arises: What was the motivation behind Britain’s naval mastery during the seventeenth and eighteenth century? Different historians, such as Alfred T. Mahan, Roger Morriss, and Paul Kennedy, that…

I highly value the shadowing experience. I had the opportunity to watch as Captain Hamilton deftly treated not only active duty service members for routine illness, but also worked closely with the psychologist to evaluate the Airmen pre- and post-deployment. I was glued to his hip as he treated conditions that I may never see in civilian life. Spending six years as an active duty US Navy Hospital Corpsman and the experience of taking the pre-requisites helped me define my path. I've worked…

Ability to Operate with Foreign Forces Prior to 1914 the relatively young RAN had yet to take part in any sort of joint coalition operation, however, officers of the British Royal Navy (RN) were integrated into the RAN. This meant that if the need for a joint exercise arose they would have knowledge of how to act through these British officers who had prior experience (for example the Australian fleet was commanded by the RN officer, Rear Admiral George Patey). 11. On the 29th August 1914 the…

A minute into the movie the words “Allahu akbar" can be heard in Arabic as Chris Kyle is about to put a bullet in a child with an anti-tank grenade. Our protagonist is revealed. Portrayed by Bradley Cooper (Voted sexiest man alive 2011), he lives, loves, laughs, drinks a little, and joins up with the SEALs. The uncharted zone beyond America’s borders is a deadly jungle, and only the SEALs' machete can clear a path to freedom. We’re cut to a training camp. Kyle is undergoing SEAL training, and…

forth and Fifth, then Six, Seventh and Eighth !) Before he was shot, we had the Bay of Pigs, and a day that could have ended as a nuclear holicost. It was, thank God, averted. Viet Nam was also brewing and none of us knew where that even was in the world. Because of men like my dad, Earl, who served in the USN in WW11, your grandfather Howard an his brother Harlan, who served in the USA, I was intrigued by the stories, they might sometimes tell.
