Warrior Day
C/Patel

Warrior Day, a day in which AFROTC cadets face both mental and physical challenges in a competition amongst one another. For the AS100s like myself and AS250s, our first warrior day provided a unique experience which would only make ourselves better in the program. Warrior day consisted of a midterm evaluation, drill evaluation, warrior knowledge competition, and a physical training (PT) session. The first portion of Warrior Day consisted of a midterm exam on our warrior knowledge. The exam was quite easy for the cadets who spent time carefully studying all the knowledge learned throughout the knowledge. The exam was a fair evaluation of our ability to retain the knowledge we are required to know. With the …show more content…

It evaluated our flight commander’s ability to lead a flight and evaluate the ability of the AS100s/250s/200s to perform proper drilling. The overall experience seemed to have been good since the flight commanders did an outstanding job leading and the cadets did fine in the actual drilling even though there were moments we made errors, we made sure we did not make mistakes the next time. The drilling evaluation showed that we are improving as time goes on. Soon after was a warrior knowledge competition between Charlie Flight and Delta Flight. Though a test of our comprehension of our warrior knowledge, the competition was fun due to the competitive aspect of having the flights compete with one another to see who gets the most questions correct. Unfortunately, Charlie Flight lost to Delta Flight…on the bright side, the competition gave a refresher of the warrior knowledge any cadets were unsure of or did not know. Lastly, there was PT. A competitive feel was added to PT since we had to form groups for a tough relay race involving sprinting and bear crawling. Despite the toughness, we pushed through the relay, constantly motivating each other to push through. Every cadet made sure they gave their best effort, pushing themselves as hard as they could to make sure they complete the relay, to the point that I myself was no longer able to physically stand and

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (and More)     Capone’s public popularity began to fade after he became associated with extreme violence. Perhaps the most infamous crimes he is suspected of being in charge of is the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in 1929, where he hired men to gun down rival gang member, Bugs Moran. Of the seven men killed that day, however, Moran was not one of them, as it was rumored that he had sensed the ambush and escaped before anyone else realized what was happening (“Al Capone,” FBI.gov).

War Poetry Essay

1358 Words | 6 Pages

We can quite clearly trace the poet’s emotional journey throughout his poetic works. One of the most obvious themes in his poetry is a longing for what has been lost; friends, innocence, life.
