SGT Newberry achieved the XVIII Airborne Corps Noncommissioned Officer Basic Leader Course graduation requirements with an overall 97.73% grade point average earning Commandant's List. Her most apparent and strongest attribute is her professionalism; which lead to her being chosen as the student platoon sergeant for the graduation ceremony. SGT Newberry demonstrated the ability to be a team player both in garrison and tactical environments. She supported her fellow noncommissioned officers and makes every effort to build a competent and cohesive team. During all evaluations her preparation and rehearsals were evident and she was ready to train and execute. Her oral history brief was prepared, rehearsed, and executed, earning a superior…
Every thing will have its contester, in one form or another. For examples, Mcdonalds contesters will be Burger kings, Wendy's, and so on. Nike contesters will be Adidas, or Puma. Lamborghini contesters will be a Ferrari, and Porsche. They are all similar in some way, but yet they are all competing against one another. Maybe for the sales, maybe for building the fastest cars, the number one spot, and ultimately fighting to become the best. All of this competition will lead to many discussions like who are the best, which one is better, and which one is fastest. When child argues with their friends about superheroes, they often favor the superhero they like and argue how he/she is the best. The true is, all superheroes are similar in some way,…
While the political world continues to focus on the machinations of congressional investigations about Russia (which won't have conclusions drawn for months, if not longer) and where health care goes from here, there's another, arguably more important story going on — ramped-up military engagement.…
Unfortunate for Japanese Americans, were the events of Pearl Harbor, an act that defined the fate of thousands of U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry. The “white man” once again felt a need to put blame on a group of people, belittling them and forcing them into seclusion. Despite efforts by Ranking Officers in Hawaii to inform the Government that there was no reason to believe that Japanese Americans were involved in any sabotage, President Roosevelt signed the order to direct the Secretary of War “to prescribe military areas” in which, “the right of any person to enter, remain in, or leave shall be subject to whatever restrictions…
The Naval ROTC program is among the most elite programs in the United States. However, when an average American citizen depicts the United States greatest military moments, they picture the iconic moment of United States marines holding up the American flag at Iwo Jima. The USMC is the ideal fighting force that has been prominent around the globe. Surprisingly, they also share the Naval ROTC program with the United States Navy. Why is it that the US Navy lacks the same picture and title as the USMC? The United States Navy is putting out a great number of officers per year. Without an officer candidate school (OCS) or basic school to screen navy officers the military branch is exposing itself to diminishing physical standards, lack of strive…
One of the medals was the purple heart for saving his teammates and the bronze soldier medal. He probably wouldn't get all these medals if he didn’t go to the ROTC. He was the highest ranked in his whole squad. When he joined the army he was already a 2nd lieutenant which is one of the most highest in the army.…
The United States needs to bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan. Their reasons for being at war are invalid because American company in the foreign countries is insubstantial; the U.S. government cannot afford the continuous costs of war, and has lost sight of aims. It is time to bring our forces home.…
Americans that support strict weapon control have achieved the conclusion that this change guarantees the benefit of the states to claim guns. Firearm control laws specifically damage this privilege and accordingly should not be under thought. Regardless of the possibility that the issue is ignored, weapon control advocates express that with a specific end goal to diminish gun related viciousness, firearm control laws must be executed to expel the savagery created by guns. In spite of the fact that this may appear to be sensible, the outcomes of such laws are unexpectedly counterproductive; they worsen the issue as opposed to settling it. Other than the way that the Constitution ensures its residents the privilege to remain battle ready, possibly…
The 2nd Amendment, The right to bear arms was first passed on September 25, 1789 and then it was included to the 10 Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791. The need of the second amendment was for the security of our States. James Madison introduced the second amendment as an opinion to provide more power to the militias.…
Military spending is one of the most nationally talked about topics however, so is improvements regarding education. I believe that the United States government should not dramatically cut all military spending and not invest all of the budget savings in improvements in education. The United States dollar amount toward military spending is at 597.5 billion dollars. How much the US spends on military spending is a political decision allowing the opposite side of the political party to think that dollar amount is too high. The United States might be considered the highest country in military spending, but people do not take into consideration the difference in income levels within each country. Cutting all military spending and investing all…
“The thought of military grade weapons being given to the local police is madness” (Sgt. Rob Aponte quoted in Kachmar). GIving military grade weapons to local police is not something people think about daily. Most think if there is armored cars in their village would make their village safer, but is this really the case? According to the 1033 program, which was installed in 1997, more than 4.3 billion dollars of military gear has been given to local police across the nation senes 1997 (ingraham). In 2013 alone just about a billion dollars was given to local law enforcement agencies (ingraham).The Department of Defense is selling these weapons to local police, but they shouldn’t be selling military grade weapons to untrained police officers (Ingraham). Overall, selling military grade weapons to local police forces is dangerous, excessive, and unnecessary.…
1. The right to keep and bear arms is a constitutional right that should not be infringed upon. With firearms so easily accessible by the public and increasing world incidents, protection of our own armed forces must be paramount. The purpose of this position paper is advocate why concealed carry should be allowed for all members of the United States Armed Forces while on stateside military installations.…
To go to war, or to not. Obviously to not. At the end, America should not have gone to war with Britain. The cons of going to war completely outweigh the pros of going. People only wanted to go to war because of investments to make money or profit. Not only that but the poor and minorities are the ones that will be sent to war while the rich class will stay and not participate. Finally, banks “brainwashed” people into thinking war was the best option because banks wanted to not lose money on investments. Clearly the US should not have gone to war.…
A gun, like any other item, cannot work itself. It is therefore necessary to differentiate its key purpose from the finality imposed on it by its user. A firearm is scientifically speaking a bullet launcher and, like any weapon, since it is indeed a weapon, its primary and intrinsic purpose is to serve as a means of attacking or defending, or more clearly of hurt or kill. Rendering the Washington Post, more than 270 million firearms are in circulation in the United States. Per Latitude news, this represent the equivalent of 88 rifles per 100 Americans, making it the most armed people in the world. The ratio of firearms is two and a half times higher than in Canada and six times higher than in Australia. Laws are particularly flexible in the…
