Barracks
Maintenance
Barrack maintenance is a key part to any and all soldiers in today’s military. It plays a great importance to the physical and mental health of the soldiers who reside in the barracks. They are also key purposes in organization, preparation, and confidence of the soldier. These are very important, especially here in South Korea where our motto says “Fight, Tonight” it means that we need to be able to get our stuff and go within minutes of something bad happening somewhere. Following are all aspect that everyone needs to be able to complete the task of being able to “Fight, Tonight.” If the room’s maintenance is poor then there are many physical hazards that may be present in the room. These hazards can be critical to the soldier’s health and wellbeing. If there are old physical training clothes that are left out then the gasses from those will be in the air that the soldiers are breathing and it will place the soldiers that are living in the room at a potential risk at their health. Another example is the air unit, if the air unit is not cleaned correctly and on a regular basis then it will become filthy and not only look disgusting but it will also be blowing dust particles and dirt into the air constantly and placing the soldiers that line in the room at an even greater risk to sickness then if it was cleaned regularly and correctly. Another example is the bathroom and the shower, with the amount of germs and bacteria that live and thrive in these two locations they are a prime location for soldiers to become ill from just their simple use. And giving that they are used so commonly on a regular basis, it places the soldiers at a much higher risk for disease. Lastly for the examples of physical health is trash if it’s just lying there in the room and not being taken out or emptied then it will in time become a breeding ground for bacteria, it will also create a very bad odor that will fill the room. Moving away from physical health

    The CBRN (chemical, bacteriological, radiological and nuclear) inherent to the military profession is covered by specific training and is not a part of the program. Specific means of protection, sampling and decontamination for these hazards are part of the mandatory annual training of military personnel. The RPP is complete and also take into account specific responsibilities of various entities within the forces (fire marshall, Preventive medicine tech, Chief medical officer, direct supervisors, etc.). One drawback of this program is that no data is kept in the centralized medical file for fit testing of mask or apparatus. The assessment of the individual for its ability to wear is the responsibility of a department which does have limited access to the medical information of the worker. In addition, civilian employee’s medical file is not included in the centralized database. Supervisor’s notes or comments about the workers respect for protection usage are not accessible to medical personnel. This limits the ability of the preventive technician to assess properly the situation and possibly make a correlation between exposure and protection measure, individual or administrative. I have included the program in my assignment…

    When Soldiers prepare for a mission, we as leaders must be certain that everyone is ready and everything is in order. If a weapon isn’t working, if you don’t have enough water or food, the success of the mission, and safety of the platoon is threatened. As a leader, it is your job, and the NCOs, to ensure that Soldiers have all the necessary clothing and working equipment in order, and that the platoon can conduct the mission effectively. We as leaders do this through pre-combat checks and inspections. These inspections build unit cohesiveness and prevent carelessness, lax, and complacency behavior among Soldiers in the platoon. Within this paper I will explained the purpose of checks and inspections, types of inspection, conducting inspections, inspecting equipment to better show why the Army conducts these checks and inspections.…

    The conditions of the trenches were said to be horrific and devastating, however the British army had very high standards of cleanliness and they were aware of what the soldiers needed to keep on fighting. They aimed to keep morale as high as possible and therefore provided more than sufficient amount of food, very good medical care, and tried to generally make the soldiers’ living conditions better. Efforts were made to keep the trenches cleaner; for example, rats were a big issue at the beginning of the war but as the war progressed, they…

    Checks and inspections are our number one tool to combat apathy and complacency. It is human nature for people to get used to their surroundings and begin to overlook minor problems. When complacency sets in; battle buddies and sergeants stop making on-the-spot corrections. By performing regular inspections, I am able to correct small problems before they become big problems. Checks and inspections also help my soldiers and I to bond. We can learn each others’ weaknesses and help one another become better, stronger and more efficient soldiers. Performing pre-combat checks can also help them feel a sense of satisfaction and pride in themselves and their unit as they meet the standards and I as their team leader can feel pride in the fact they are squared away.…

    Maintaining your barracks room is a very easy task to do. It does not take much to put your dirty clothes in a hamper or to make your bed or even dust. All of those tasks are very simple to do. By not maintaining my room I put myself, friends, and anyone else at a greater risk of getting sick. Unsanitary conditions in the barracks room are disgusting. Through frequent contact throughout the day with the other soldiers that one soldier could be in contact with, he or she could become sick, and could possibly cause other soldiers to be ill. When one soldier becomes the source of other soldiers being sick then that soldier could face possible punishment under Article 134 of the Universal Code of Military Justice. Even though it is only a general Article, it still looks bad on the soldier, especially if the soldier is up for promotion and is getting ready to go out to the promotion board. Article 134 states as follows: 934. ART. 134. GENERAL ARTICLE. Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court.…

    A soldier’s lifeline in a combat environment is his weapon. Without his weapon he is unable to complete a mission or protect his battle buddies and/or others in the way of harm. He is, in a way, unfit for battle if he does not have a properly functional weapon. With this in mind, it is a part of a soldier’s duty in the military to properly maintain his weapon, keeping it clean, well lubricated, and ready for battle at any given moment. He should always have his weapon as if he were to use it at any moment. If he were to enter a building and clear a room with a fireteam and his weapon was dirty or not lubricated, the risk of the weapon jamming in the middle of the drill is high, and his battle buddies cannot rely on him to cover them. He would let his teammates down, or worse, get them injured or killed, and that is not acceptable under any circumstance. Therefore, making sure a soldier’s weapon is lubricated and well maintained, as well as making sure his ammo is properly loaded is extremely important.…

    The Quail Bird

    • 509 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Japanese Quails (Coturnix Quail) are from pheasant family and are migratory birds which migrate between Asia and Europe. The region of origin of these birds is believed to be south East Asia. Back in history, the reference to quails can be traced back in the old testament of the bible. It is also said that the Egyptians caught the quails on a large number from their farmland for meat. But there are no records of quails being bred in captivity by the Egyptians or the Europeans. But there are no records of these birds being domesticated before 12th century. In China these birds were raised as pets. They were also kept as singing birds. In the late eleventh century, quail was brought to Japan from China. The first written record on the domestication of quails in Japan can be dated back to twelfth century. It is also believed that a Japanese Emperor got cured from tuberculosis after eating quail meat. Afterwards, the Japanese people started raising quail extensively for meat and egg. By the mid twentieth century, the population of quail in Japan increased extensively. Since these wild birds were tamed and bred in captivity by the Japanese people, they are also known as Japanese quail. From Japan these birds were taken to all over south East Asia as well as central Asia. There were a lot of mouths to feed on an Egyptian building site so if you weren't employed as a pyramid technician you were probably growing wheat, fruit and raising quail. The Egyptians soon realised that quail were a brilliant source of protein for their workers so established large farms for breeding them. These days, Egyptian might not be that widely spoken anymore but quail are still an important source of food for both the meat and eggs in a lot of countries. Quail eggs are in fact arguably more nutritious weight for weight than chickens eggs but more on that later.…
