    Article 92 is perhaps the most important article in the entire Uniform Code of Military Justice. It lays down the ground law, which is the absolute line that may not be crossed. Everything else in the UCMJ is an explanation of the various forms that disobeying an order can take. Without the support given by Article 92, service members would be free to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and wouldn't be any more accountable than a civilian could in a civilian job.…

    After the research, truancy offenders in the end had more incarcerations and more probations than other offenders. By understanding the severe consequences of truancy offenses, solid intervention programs to avoid or decrease truancy cases are critically needed. Not by surprise, another finding was that youth with disabilities were more probable to be referred for truancy. One of the main reasons for truancy is the hard time with school, especially poor performance, and the current results sustain the view that children may use truancy to separate themselves from what they see as an intimidating environment (Zhang, Wilson, Katsiyannis, Barrett, Ju, and Wu, 2010, p.…

    I am ___________, with student number ########. I am writing this correspondence to appeal to you to reconsider my academic suspension and grant me another chance to complete my Master’s in Information Technology Management. Regrettably, while attending the summer semesters, I signed up for BUSN 5600 to prepare me for the sequential MBA. During BUSN 5600 I was unable to completely comprehend accounting due to me being an IT major and accounting is not my best subject. In addition inheriting a stubborn personality from my father, I was too ashamed to ask other classmates for assistance and to admit the following phrase “I do not know how to do it”. I was completely wrong for trying to complete a course that requires extra dedication due to my background while being required to meet a 50-55 hour week schedule from my employer. Resulting in falling behind in the necessary studying criteria to successfully pass exams.…
