I was the happiest man in the world. Red Chief was still missing and I have not any painful migraines ever since . I was so happy I even went out for dinner and got my favorite meal. After dinner, I thought I might as well have a late night drink and then off to bed. After I drank a little sweet whiskey I started to feel a little headache, but that's ok because there is no Red Chief and that means no migraines.
He was inside his battalion’s vehicle, heavy, armored, and cramped, navigating across a hot sandlot with shredded metal, bomb craters, and bodies spread throughout. The vehicle, an M2 Bradley, armed and ready-to-fire in a moment’s notice. His guardian. Two silver-colored, vertical bars, his insignia, a captain. “Rangers lead the way,” his comrades would say.

Once the in processing period was over, reality hit me very hard. I was in more of an observation phase, just trying to take everything in slowly.

The United States military I consider one of the best in the world which is one reason I love learning about it. The U.S. military is well funded and generally has some of the newest and most advanced technology out there such as a railgun that fires ferrous projectiles using magnets to 3 times the speed of sound. For reasons like this I also want to join the marines to get to use technology like that. My family has joined the military often and it’s usually the navy. One of my cozens is in the navy and so was my uncle who operated the sonar on a Cleveland class cruiser which was apparently hit by a torpedo.
Hi, I am the Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) for troop 1598.I have been is scouts since I was six years old and I have learned so many things that you can’t learn in school or anywhere else. Things like how to tie knots, how to lead, how to cook, how to talk in front of people. And how to manage time and follow through with important components of running a troop. I am always asked by parents “what will my child gain from joining?”
Throughout life, everyone will come to face obstacles or challenges that they will have to face. Some obstacles can be small like passing a class or learning how to tie your shoes, and some obstacles can be big like facing your fears or going through your parents’ divorce. I’ve faced many conflicts or obstacles in my life, most being fairly small, but there were some obstacles that might seem small to others, but felt very big to me. One of my biggest obstacles that I have had to face was running for district officer for Longview District FFA.
The person I interviewed was a close friend of the family, he has been around since I was a baby. His name is Larry Wade and he is a Civil Engineer in the Airforce. He has been in the Airforce since he was 20 years old and he is now 45 years old. This just shows you his loyalty and dedication he has to the Airforce, country and his family. He never thought that he would end up in the Airforce because of his struggles as a child.
How have things been lately? I’m sure things are a little different without me but I hope you’re doing well. I’m pleased to say that I’m going all right up until now, and I hope to stay healthy till the end of the war. What we were told about war was very untruthful.
That night was just like any other. I went out to the barn like usual with my friends. There was a new horse we were trying to train, his name was Chief. It was a nice night, cool but not cold. Brenda, the owner of the barn, asked if I wanted to ride him.
According to the New York Times in 2013 less than .5 percent of the U.S population serves in the armed forces. Thats all 6 branches: the Navy, the Army, the Marines, the Air Force, the Coast Guard, and the National Guard combined. It surprised me when I found this information last year because the military was, and still is, such a big part of my life. Just about everyone in my family is in or has been in the military. When I was still in elementary school my aunts and uncle were still active duty so I remember sending them care packages and waiting for them to come home.
To comprehend others, one must understand their values. The values that I have lived under for the greater part of my grown-up life have been The Seven Army Values. I joined the United States Army when I was 23 years of age. I had values then, yet the Army Values changed my life and the way I manage things throughout my life. The Seven Army Values comprise of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless-Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage.

Leadership interview I was given the chance to interview Hailey Hunt who has a position on student council. She taught me about her position and how she has been able to help others.
