In this online article, Matthew Cox provided a details of how new and senior Military men have to incorporate and improved on their writing and grammar skills in order for a promotion or even to pass IT Training. Soldiers will go to a website and will be given a topic to write a five-paragraph essay when there done the most upload it and they will get feedback with things they need to improve from spelling, your grammar-sentence structure, the body, the flow military

officials are encouraging their fellow men to then use tuition assistance to take courses such as English composition to improve their writing and or grammar skills to better their chances of getting tin tot force or getting a promotion. The reason for the high promotion of higher education when it comes to writing and grammar skills come when Last year, the “Army had backlog of about 14,000 NCOs who had been promoted to various grades in the intelligence corps but had not received formal military education” Cox, Matthew they saw that higher officials are being promoted without having the tools to do the job so now they only promote about 8,000 military men with new standard of examining for them that well incorporate more writing and grammar questions to determine if there eligible for a promotion. This was useful to me because I got to understand that if I ever want to move up in ranks I have to have be a really good writer it seems the higher you go in the field the more you have to write so you have to put on a good amount of writing to get the good jobs .

Having the ability to write well as an Army lawyer is an important thing due to all the work has to be looked over by others and reviewed before a court date. Lawyers have write arguments, contracts etc. Communication via writing is main way that information is showed to orders and is recorded for documentation. The legal system requires most communication to be in writing and has very strict guidelines. If an attorney is unable to communicate well in writing, it may result in misunderstandings at the least, and cause damage to the client’s case. Lawyers read a great deal of material when they take on a client. It may be court documents, witness testimony, contracts, case law, or a myriad of other text. It is easy for anyone to skim over the information and take it at face value. Unfortunately this can prove detrimental to a client.It takes time to read critically with a deal of skepticism. It is this skill that allows the attorney to read case material symptomatically (critically). It safeguards the client from the repercussions from text that may have been written with things slanted with bias, implied statements, or hidden agendas.

Bajon Braxton how does writing apply to you and your job? I’m an army reserve nurse I have nothing but paper work when I’m not working I work at a testing center for people that are trying to join the army I have to take their blood do eye exams etc. it was hard at first when I got out of basic training but after about a month or two I got used to it but if I want to move up in the ranks I have to do an exam to determent if I know everything in the field so far also they give an open ended response questions for situations that may happen and I would have to write detailed of how I should responded to the situation. Also I had to learn to write in apa it what’s the hardest thing for me because I grow up on MLA and I had to learn how to cite and do in text citation in apa after a while I got used to it and no longer use MLA when writing a apa or typing anything else on Microsoft word.
Interview with Devonte Davis- How Difficult was it to get into your field?

Yes, and no I was in the army and now I’m a reserve so I’m doing this in order to become an officer in the army I think if someone was to join to come an officer that hasn’t been in the service prior it may be hard due to the physical and mental training. I have PT is 3 days a week, it's not easy but if you are in shape when you start school it is not that bad what time of writing skills are need for your field? Well it depends I’m combat so I don’t have to do that much writing I just need to know how to communicate with others in me unite using code names like alpha and Bravo but there are other jobs in the army that may has a lot of writing like an army lawyer that’s all I knew of hand but they have to defend us just in case something happens in the ranks we can go to them and they have to be on point with everything when it comes to writing they can send a motion to a judge and have the things misspelled also the higher you are in rank the more you have to right the reason for that is that you have to keep track of everyone n your unite and have them report you so if there is a problem in your unite you have to start the paper process of explain what’s going

on.

Interview Matthew Roman- how hard was it to get into your job?

Very I had to get a 60 or above on the AVAB in order to become a Military Police in the army it’s not that bad I did 4 years active once you get in your really don’t do anything but look overt the situation and make sure things are in order? What type of writing do you do? I have to write reports every day when I was there if I a saw someone smoking on base or doing something that was not suitable for the area I would have to write a detail desecration of how things went from a third person point of view every time I wrote up a report at fast it was hard but I got the hang of it and saw it as trying to tell a story of how things went. This benefit me in showing me that in order to be a army cop I have to be able to view things and write things in a way that shows that I’m not that and I’m just watching the

problem.
