The Importance Of Not Losing Your Military Identification Card

I am writing this essay because I made a very irresponsible mistake and lost my military identificstion card. I realize all the down sides to losing your military id and I also realize in the end it comes done to accountability and responsibility, which by losing my military id I showed a lack of both those traits. I can ensure that this mistake will never be made again, once I get my new military id I will most definstely be extra careful of where I place my card and I will always be aware of where my military id is.
Since losing my military identificstion card I have learned that nothing good can come of losing my military id. Theres several major issues to losing a military identification card, one of the biggest problems is the security threat it brings about. Since this card is no longer in my possession who knows who could have gotten ahold of it, if it were to come into the hands of the wrong person, said person would be able to have access to almost any military installation, they would have access to any government computer or network, having access to that would give them an opportunity to steal any information relating to anything that couldn’t threaten national security. Having my military identification card would also give them access to all my personal information, medical information, and anything else they would need to commit identity theft against me. Losing my military ID also poses a problem in my everyday work routine. Since I no longer have my military ID it’s a huge hassle just to get to work and than to also get back home since I have to go through base security in order to go to either place. I also can no longer gain access to any computer at work, so I am no longer able to complete any online training courses, any kind of work that would require computer access, and I can not access amy of my mypay information.

    Military Brat Has Shaped Me Essay

    As a child, my parents tried to shield me as much as they could. Like every sound parent, mine wanted me to maintain a young and innocent mindset for as long as possible. However, when it would come time for my dad to be deployed time and time again, my mother and father had no choice but to explain why he was leaving. Knowing my father willingly would leave his family behind to defend our freedom made me recognize there must be bad in the world. I realized the dangers my father faced every time he left home wearing his uniform. Moreover, I truly realized that by him putting himself in harms way, my mom, sister, and myself did not have to fear danger invading our homeland. My father’s participation in the Air Force registered in me the concept of freedom and how privileged us as Americans truly are. I developed a strong sense of pride and love in my country and the men and women who serve and defend it.…

    Veterans Transition

    Since the terror attacks of 9-11, approximately 2.6 million men and women have voluntarily served in our nation’s Armed Forces. As these service members compete their time in uniform and attempt to re-enter civil society and find gainful employment, too many are not succeeding. A Pew Research Center study in December, 2011 indicates that post 9-11 period veterans are reporting more difficulties in returning to civilian life than those who served in Vietnam or the Korean/World War II era. Most find themselves unequipped to successfully navigate the enormous psychological implications of such a dramatic change in self-identity and the unfamiliar challenges of finding…

    Freedom, independence, security, and safety must be fought for and protected on a daily basis. Our military is made up of the valiant people who sacrifice their own health, education, and life and are devoted to something greater than themselves, the United States of America. When veteran’s talk to others about their past experiences, it helps teach us about America’s past and how we should have a hope for our future. Former and current servicemen continue to live by “sacrifice over self,” which is a strong message that has bound our veterans together for years. Because of our military’s sacrifices to the United States of America, we have freedom and liberation today and a greater faith for the future.…

    National Id Card Research Paper

    As a response to investigations after the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Flight 93 attacks on September 11, 2001, America and four supporting countries invaded Iraq in March of 2003 to remove weapons of mass destruction and end Saddam Hussein's contributions to terrorism. Likewise, vigorous dialogue concerning a standardized, national identification card surfaced in September 2001. Furthermore, in 2005 Congress enacted into law the REAL ID Act that supported the use of a standardized driver’s license as a national identification (Swartz 14). Neither response provided adequate security for America citizens. A national identification card would not bring significant benefits to…

    Everything in life that one works for can be taken away in a matter of seconds. However, one thing that people hold onto no matter what is their name. A name is something that cost nothing and can always be called one’s own. Unfortunately this is not true for the speaker of the poem “Identity Card.” Losing individuality and suffering can be avoided more often than not; however, that is not the case in Mahmoud Darwish’s “Identity Card” where a Palestinian man suffers due to Israeli forces taking what is rightfully his.…

    National Id Cards

    The question of a national ID card is a controversial issue in our country today. Many people feel that a national ID card would make them safer and help prevent terrorist attacks. However, a national ID card would cause more problems than it would solve. Instituting a national ID card would create the need for a new database, the card wouldn't make Americans feel safer, and the government's standpoint on the issue is very unstable, making American's question the real intention of this new national ID card. Since the terrorist's attacks on September 11th, the United States has been in a state of fear, but instituting a national ID card would not ease the fear in Americans.…

    The main reason for this essay is because I did not follow out proper orders and was not at the correct place of duty for PT/Accountability formation at the correct time. Although there was a miscommunication, granted on my half, there is still no excuse for me to miss a formation. I want to be an excellent soldier and I want to excel in the military. The first step I need to put into action is always making sure I am at the appropriate place of duty at the correct time or preferably with time to spare. This is a simple task that is easy and painless to ensure, and it will be accomplished.…
