Base
New Military Base There are many types of military bases; some have piers for ships and submarines, others have air strips for planes and others provide training for military members. A new military installation can provide employment opportunities for community members.

A military base will be a good addition to the community. A new military base will provide employment for locals. People are needed to build infrastructure for service members to work, train and live in. Also, community members will be able to apply for civilian jobs on the base. Civilian jobs on military bases are available in every profession imaginable, there are currently 180,000 civilians serving in the United States military. The military base hourly rates are normally higher than what is offered by local businesses. Locals will enjoy the wealth of opportunity that will be created by adding a base. A military base will provide more revenue for local businesses. Local businesses will benefit from the addition of service members to the community. Military personnel have a steady income; they are paid on the first and fifteenth of each month. Local restaurants will benefit from the increase of patrons, which can cause the number of restaurants in our community to increase. The barbershops will benefit from the military hair requirements for men. The male hair should be neat and well groomed. Hair above the ears and around the neck needs to be tapered from the lower natural hairline upwards at least ¾ inch style. Thus, male service members will have to get a haircut every week or every two weeks.

    Ridleyville Case Study

    Well, if I was in charge of the project in the city of Ridleyville. I would build a business complex upward to save pace and also build a small size park on the riverfront. However, the reason I choose this decision is because businesses brings other business which will help the economy grow. Also, increase the amount of parkland and open space in the city, especially in the downtown riverfront area. For the city to stay economically sustainable, you need jobs. Also, with the base being close down, that will decrease the job rate in Ridleyville. So the city will have to put something in that area to fill that gap. However, making this decision will help address the growing budget deficit. By building a business complex would lower unemployment rates and increased economic growth reduce the need for government-funded programs such as unemployment insurance and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).If the city can get the small portion of open space through tax incentives, they can build a park on the open space.…

    Military Pay

    Another one of the benefits military service members receive is free housing. In many instances the housing is sub-par and does not suit the needs of the residents. Family housing units are often too small and the wait to receive a unit can be from eight to 10 months (Sgt. Paul Fowler). Junior service members, those serving in the rank of E-4 and below, are often cramped into dormitory style buildings similar to those found on college campuses. The basic problem in this instance is space.…

    The Importance Of Raising The Military Budget

    People have said that if we cut the military budget in half we could put that money towards things that could also help the country and the military. For the past 25 years there has been no army, navy, or air force in the world that comes close to matching its American counterpart in terms of either its powerness on the battlefield or the size of its budget. We should keep it that way and continue to spend quite a bit on the military. Without a military this country wouldn't be how it is…

    Base Details

    Siegfried Sassoon's epic war poem "Base Details" focuses on a soldier's bitterness toward the fact that old men wage war while young men fight it. Sassoon uses various literary devices to express his anger toward such injustice. The main ones being rhyme, strong connotative words and especially diction. The speaker, a soldier in World War I, contemplates what it would be like to be an officer in during war. By using a sarcastic and cynical tone, he is effectively able to condemn war.…

    A Few Good Men

    Most of the differences between civilian and military lifestyle are in the opportunity of personal choice and freedom. As a civilian, the luxury of choosing what to wear everyday is often taken for granted. Most people wake up and sit in front of the closet complaining they don't have enough clothes or that they don't like what they do have. In the military, personnel have to wear the same thing everyday, unless told otherwise by a Commanding Officer. He or she doesn't care if this uniform goes with someone's eyes or hair color. All he knows is that it's winter and so everyone should be in his or her "winter blues". When a civilian is hungry, the only thing limiting their options is their budget. They could eat at home, McDonalds, McCormick & Kuleto's, or where ever their heart desires. Most don't appreciate this option. While in the military one's options are usually up to what the head chef wants to make. If enlisted in the Army or Air force, eating off base depends on the Commanding Officer, not what everyone else wants to do. Many other little choices that civilians make are privileges and luxuries in the military. Being able to drive a car depends on where you're stationed and rank. Vacations and days off don't revolve around when people want them, like in the civilian…

    Base Details

    In the poem, "Base Details", SiegFried Sassoon expresses his great disgust towards the majors in the military. He is horrified and appalled at the way the majors act while men are dying out in the battle field. Mr. Sassoon is so furious towards the majors that it takes more than just one word to describe how indignified Sassoon is. These great feelings of anger are derived from the fact that the majors are living a life of luxury while sending young men "up the line" out into the battle field. This is all suggested in the title of the poem with the word "base" suggesting a military base, and/or a base person. And the word "details" suggesting a command, an assignment, and something or someone lowly. "Base Details" is a poem which expresses the feelings of the author towards military majors using differentiable types of imagery.…
