Officers in the United States military carry a significant distinction as opposed to their noncommissioned counterparts prescribed under Constitutional Article II, Section 3 mandating those appointments by the President. Although no guarantee of an outcome, it is a distinction worthy of note for those considering a career in the military. In the broadest of descriptions, these are strategists and principal sources of authority, whether directing a tactical combat unit in a military theater or commanding
This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, otherwise known as JROTC. It has existed in many high schools nationwide since it came into existence in 1916 and, like many things, has changed with the passage of time. Originally, it was used as means to recruit students and possible candidates for the armed forces. Now, though, it is a program that teaches high school students a plethora of life skills and cultivates a sense of leadership and independence
I really don’t think you understand the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps on campus. I believe to many, ROTC is just a side note. Which is funny, considering that you can find them at a lot of the major events on campus. Thus, wish to spread a little light on the unknown. First is the fact that ROTC is constantly working on their physical fitness, before a normal college student would even consider getting up. The work out that cadets will go through can vary from a light three mile run, to
commissioned officer and in a similar fashion as many other professions, require a baccalaureate education. Generally speaking, initially advancing one’s professional trajectory correlates strongly to the institution itself much as does in private industry. Graduates of the Military Service Academies regularly garner assignment preferences right out of the gate, to say nothing of clear-cut networking advantages over the course of their careers. After the Service Academies, the Reserve Officers’ Training

After being denied to Chester’s School of Nursing, Johnson went on to further her education elsewhere by going to start training at the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing where she graduated in 1950. She then goes on to work in the Harlem Hospital Emergency Ward for 3 years and then practiced on the medical cardiovascular ward at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Philadelphia
When I first joined the Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at my new school, I had no idea what I getting myself into nor what my future would entail. One day, my close friend of mine suggested me to attend one their practices – so I did. Upon my entrance, my eyes were opened to a completely different environment, something that I had never experienced before. The moment I open the door, I saw both males and females screaming at the top of their lungs in their attempt to do as many pushups
much on military training, such as waking up early for physical training and having additional classes, takes away from academics and is too time consuming (Wandrei). While many campuses still ban this program today, over 600 universities across America are in complete support of holding the ROTC program on their campuses (McClure). These universities argue that holding this program on their campuses supports our country by creating highly knowledgeable and qualified officers, helps to build young
reason: the relationship between the soldiers and the officers. It is very reasonable to say that American soldiers entering the Vietnam were not disciplined enough. The average age of a soldier in Vietnam was eighteen. Nobody found it necessary to train these kids to handle all the problems they run into. The service ruined their late childhood and they had to grow up early! If anything went wrong, they would simply blame the officer in charge. Tim O'Brien illustrated this nicely in
because the people around me were as well. I became so confident with myself, and more and more people started to look up to me and admire me for how much I had grown. At the end of my sophomore year, I went to Area Four Leadership Academy/Sail Training for two weeks, which was a life changing experience for me. I met cadets from all over my area, and spent every waking moment with the same 35 other cadets who shared the same pas... ... middle of paper ... ...irl into a confident young woman
The career of nursing has countless aspects that are imperative for the effectiveness and overall satisfaction of care for the average person. These aspects include physical care, mental health care, and spiritual care. The aspect of spiritual care includes the nurse assessing her clients’ spiritual health and creating a plan for complete treatment. Spirituality may be a specific object or person the client connects with, so nurses must be aware of each client’s spiritual preference. The United States
The Busy Bee When I envision my future ten years from now, I see a young African American woman dressed in scrubs. A beret decorated by three discs denoting her rank as a captain in the United States Army sits atop her head. She hurriedly shuffles around the hospital with a stethoscope draped around her neck and a look of determination plastered on her face, the same look she has always worn when confronted with a challenge. Thermometers, the scent of disinfectants, antibiotics, and syringes are

Throughout my years in JROTC, I have had the opportunity to help assist in leading my JROTC unit’s JROTC blood drive. As a company executive officer, I worked alongside the company commander. This project required me to be in contact with various individuals in order to be successful. These individuals included my JROTC instructor, the Pennsylvania Blood Bank, school officials, students, teachers
When attempting to bring about change, some people are more successful at it than others. Some people find it relatively easy to change something while for others it is very difficult. One of the reasons that occurs is because the successful people enhance and utilize their skills in order to bring about change. In the book Insight Out by Tina Seelig, four main skills are discussed in a hierarchal and cyclic system. Seelig then highlights each skill in turn and includes projects for the reader to

What distinguishes the Marines Corps from any other branch is the bond formed by their motto “Semper Fidelis.” It was a motto adopted in 1883. “Semper Fidelis” in Latin means “always faithful.” It reminds marines to always be faithful to their mission, to one another, and to the Corps and our beloved nation, no matter the cost.

The United States Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) came into existence by Army Captain Alden Patridge with the National Defense Act of 1916.The focus of JROTC was on secondary schools which is grades nine through twelve. Under the provisions of the Act, high schools were given the loan of federal military equipment and the assignment of active duty military personnel to be instructors. In 1964, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other services and replaced most of the
