Captain Phillip Ruvolo, who had to hire a few newly graduates from New York’s Jay College of Criminal Justice, due a shortage of firefighters, in Rescue Squad 2, who lost their lives on the tragic 9/11.

Ruvolo, did not want to take away men from other fire departments because after 9/11, there were shortage of highly experience firefighters as well.

For my professional interview I spoke with Officer Doug Headlee from the York Police Department in York, Nebraska. Officer Headlee is a 11 year police veteran with the YPD starting his career in February 2007 going into the Nebraska Law Enforcement Academy which is a 14 week academy class starting for him in May and finished in August.

Before the academy he had a college degree in Fire Prevention wanting to be a Fire Fighter and had worked in the private
Alistair Macleod’s “The Boat,” depicts the need for advancement and revival in native inhabitants. Macleod’s representation of nature equates to the tradition and legacy of the past generations. Tradition evolves from being the essential mechanism that defies advancement to ironically inspiring advancement. Generally, the burden of tradition suppresses ambition in the father, provides approval for the mother’s dislike of advancement, and essentially initiates revival in the native inhabitants. The burden of tradition and legacy hinders the father’s advancement and rather causes more disorder in the fathers’ life.
While stationed in Guam I was assigned to the 36th Security Forces Squadron outside my career field. Every few years the base holds a defender challenge for the major command where a few security forces members from each base participate in a three day long challenge. The vision of this event is designed to mentally and physical challenge its defenders endurance. There is an obstacle course, land-navigation, and live-fire shooting course to name a few. I was the only supply person assigned to the host unit and in my leaderships foresight they failed to request another supply person from base supply.
Command Expectations of a Military Intelligence Sergeant First Class Being promoted in the United States military to the rank of Sergeant First Class is the first step that a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) takes into the senior enlisted ranks. With this promotion comes a new set of responsibilities from a command’s perspective. Until this point in the career of an NCO, their respective focus has been to a team or squad. The expectations of a junior or mid-level NCO to their team or squad are often basic accountability, personnel task management, and dissemination of information.

Furthermore, even with priority “3” after two consecutive tours, Surfmen normally don’t earn the competencies to serve on cutters, so they leave the program to fill small boat station career milestone billets, fall victim to high year tenure, or retire early. Offering an advancement path within the Surfman Instructor program ensures the highest levels of training, retains Surfmen who desire to stay in the surf, and provides a clear career path to attract Prospective
Surface Warfare Officers (SWO) are known as the backbone of the Navy. For years I have desired to obtain this position and have done extensive research concerning the attributes and requirements. Because I believe the Navy begins in the heart as well as the head, I know that becoming a part of the Navy would be life changing. Commissioning as a SWO would allow me to make a meaningful difference, as well as gain unparalleled leadership experience.
Since I was ten years old, I have been a member of the Young Marines, a program dedicated to the enrichment of youth. Aside from my family and school, this organization has had an incredible impact on my life, not only providing me with many unique and amazing experiences, but by shaping the foundation of my character by instilling in me the three core principles of the Young Marines: Discipline, Leadership, and Teamwork and also by emphasizing the importance of community service. I have had many amazing and unique experiences as a Young Marine which included the challenges of promotion to become the senior ranking officer, learning many new skills such as CPR, teaching Drug Demand Reduction, leading and mentoring the members of the Unit, going on encampments and traveling. In my sophomore year, my Unit Commander, a Korean War veteran, selected me to travel with him to Seoul. Every few years he chooses a Young Marine to take to South Korea based on merit.

On January 7, 2016, class 20 had a spot inspection. Class 20 had made numerous mistakes last week and was acting unprofessional. The class was acting as if they were still in the first two weeks of the academy. There are still recruits who are still talking over the platoon leaders and not being respectful. Recruits were missing parts of their uniform last week and had their firearms taken away.
I would not hesitate to join the other rescue boat for many reasons. First off I am a very selfish person. I like to abide by the ideas of ‘survival of the fittest’ and ‘every man for himself’. In my everyday life I try to be as self sufficient as possible and rarely ask for help or give it. I have been told often that I am selfish but I do not see anything wrong with it.
