There is a plethora of historical figures in history, but some of these figures are more acknowledged and discussed about than others. The Macedonian general, Alexander III, also referred to as Alexander the Great, is one of the more prominent historical figures. There is no question that Alexander is famous for his undefeated streak during his military campaigns. However, many historians are in constant debate over whether or not Alexander was truly a military leader that deserved to be a…

EV-516 woke up right on time, the way she always did, at least, the way she always did since the operation. Her eye scanners flickered bright colors back and forth, sending information to her eyes and into her brain. She stood, dressed, and walked out of the boarding house rhythmically, in the same pattern she did everything. Every move that EV made was to the beat of the ticking sound that transmitted to every aspect of her being. It was constant, not even ceasing when she slept. The…

Sure the Navy has a great deal of ships, so if somebody loves ships this is the branch. Not all Navy personnel live on a ship all the time or even at all. The Navy has many bases or ports all over the world. Many personnel live on land full time or even on another branch installation as support units. Navy again, like the other branches, has lots of opportunities outside of being just on a ship. With the right aptitude score and education, the Navy does have a lot of aviation,…

“I, too, had early military training...They reluctantly allowed me to join (mainly because the ammunition was baked to rock hardness on my family 's laundry stove) — but only as a nurse”(Starbird 14). Women were once only allowed to the house chores however, in WWII this type of society changed. During WWII women were essential to the U.S. war effort through their involvement at home, serving the military, and contributions made by volunteers in the war. When WWII broke out so many men were…

Anticipated Difficulties With the implementation of any new program, it is important to consider obstacles, barriers, and pitfalls that may be associated with its enactment. Most new programs and products enter a learning phase immediately after release, and changing the scope of leadership programs within the health care setting are no different. Furthermore, issues may emerge at any point along the development of the program resulting in undesired effects on personnel or the way care is…

Women have been serving in the armed forces since before the Vietnam War; however, they have not always been recognized. Most men considered women to be invisible and incapable of doing a man’s job. In recent history, presidents and other officials have referred to our “boys in uniform” without giving servicewomen their deserved credit. In the article, “The Female Shape of the All-Volunteer Force” Elizabeth Hillman discusses the vital roles servicewomen played in the United States military.…

Though she is considered the most powerful nation in the world, the United States is not at the elevated level it once was, especially in the area of military supremacy. It is understood by competing political parties that America’s military needs reform. This, however, is not a single definition idea. The source of protection and power of the United States is smaller than ever in comparison of percentage. When the armed services are again needed in larger quantities, it is possible that…

U.S. Military Bases abroad: a bane or a boon? The United States of America with over 800 bases overseas has become a “base nation” as David Vine calls it in his famous book Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World. The problem is that no one knows how many of these military bases the U.S. have.
