With the advent of aviation and its integration into the Navy came a shift in naval strategy and tactics; this…
The Battle of Midway has been described by some as a turning point in World War II. Occurring just six months after the devastating attack by Japan on the United States Navy stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Japan believing they had weakened and frightened the United States now felt it was time for a secondary attack and full blown occupation of the island of Midway. Chosen not for any resources or because it had great facilities; Midway was chosen by Japan because of the islands location.…
know if they still survive tomorrow. They live in the hope that saviors will come to save them. When “Bolinao 52” people saw their saviors, however, they were denied the help. A US Navy ship refused to rescue them, alleging that it was on duty. The image that a starving man using his remaining energy swam towards the Navy ship to implore for help shows the brutality of life. Boat people fought desperately for their survival. They were abandoned by the fate, and by the humans who were saviors to…
used as morale boosters in military hospitals. Dogs are put in a dangerous line of work to help the military but is it humane? While these dogs do receive “top veterinary care”, they are forced to work more than a dog should be working. “CIA K-9 Unit dogs work 60 hours a week, on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.” (Types of War Dogs.) There is no doubt that dogs, as well as other animals, are pretty resourceful. Since the late 1950’s, the United States Navy has been studying marine…
On Monday May 2, 2016 Roseville’s Chief of Police Daniel Hahn came to the Sierra College Gateway Campus to speak with our community justice class. He began by telling us a little about his background and why he became a police officer. Chief Hahn grew up in Oak Park, which is known to be one of Sacramento’s most crime ridden cities.

My interest in the Naval Academy and the fleet began as just another college option. I have not had any family member serve in the Navy and was rather indifferent to military service, other than my admiration for the men and women who serve. As I continued to explore my options, the Naval Academy remained on the backburner until I visited for the summer STEM program two years ago. As soon as I first walked on post, I instantly knew I loved it--the beautiful old architecture, the shimmering blue…
