Soldiers Creed Benefits
As the Soldier's Creed says ¨ I am A Guardian of Freedom and The American way of Life.¨ Saying that soldiers are here to protect the freedom that so many people fought for and given their lives for. To preserve the American way of life that has been established so for long. Have you ever thought about the future? Your plans after high school? Your job, your life? I have a lot already, I decided what I am going to do, to join the military and get all the benefit I can such as Health, B.A.H, and Education. Also to have a chance to work to get promotions and better pay and this gives me a chance to give back to my country. One of the many perks of joining the military is the benefits. The most one that people look for when applying for a job is the Health insurance. The military offers different types of health insurance. Depend what you are, …show more content…
The military is a great place for that. The very first rank in the army is Private E-1 no Insignia but after 4-months can be promoted to Private 2nd class E-1 Insignia then be promoted after 6 months as an enlistee you can work your way up thirteen ranks before you have the officer ranks there is eleven officer ranks that can go all the way up to General of the Army. Five star general that is an advisor to the Commander in Chief of the United States of America which is head of the nation's Armed Forces. As an enlisted rank you can enter as an Army specialist (E-4) with a four year college degree. Most enlisted ranks can work their way up the ranks through time being in service each allowed certain amount of time before each promotion. Lowest being four months and highest nine years in service. With each promotion comes a raise, lowest annual salary being $19,200 and highest being $37,200. So working up the “ladder” is a target I am aiming for to not only get better pay but better experience to help not only myself but my future soldier

    One of the most controversial things associated with the military is the amount of pay soldiers get. Many think that for the sacrifices they make they are not earning what they should. Ultimately, a person will have to determine for themselves if the amount given is fair. In a perfect world military persons should receive the salaries of actors or ball players, especially since it’s the military man or woman that is actually doing something productive for society. But since this won’t happen, people will just have to live with the pay standards that the government has set up for its servicemen. But cultivating a career in the military is still one of the most stable and rewarding choices one can make.…

    Fighting for freedom was the reason we fought in the first place, and I wish to fulfill that reason. Valley Forge was a very difficult turning point, but in all that there is doubt, there is hope. Whether you win, lose, or die, you’ll be glad you re-enlisted , and so will your aging mother and other family members. I wish to serve for my country as my brother did. I believe that in all that there is bad, there is good. In all that there is darkness, there is light. In all that there is doubt, there is hope to conquer our toughest…

    Why I Am Proud to Serve

    A soldier did not start serving his or her country when he or she signed up for the military. The president, congressman, the senate, or even the average electrician did not start serving their country when they stepped up to office or started working on our power lines. These people started on their first day of school even if it meant getting up at five o'clock in the morning and not returning home until four in the afternoon. Now that these people have an education they can benefit from it and go to work everyday. The American soldier goes to the front line to protect and serve their country. The politician steps into office to manage and make decisions that most people would not want to make. The plumbers, electricians, road workers, and even the people working at McDonalds do what they do to serve each other and others. An American does this to show that he or she is proud of their country and proud to serve it. They are proud to serve their country because people before them have done the same thing to keep America strong and running.…

    "I am an American soldier," To me, that means that not only am I a soldier twenty-four hours a day, seven days a weeks, but that I have the right to say this anywhere and everywhere I go. As an American, I have Freedom of speech, religion, and pursuit of happiness. As a soldier I defend these rights. "I am a warrior and a member of a team," I will fight and give my life for my country, and as a member of a team I know I will never be alone. "I serve the people of the United States, and live the army values" When I recite this I stand proud that I am one of few that chose to serve and protect the United States of America. The Warrior ethos is the best and most important part to me in the soldier’s creed because although all the lines of the soldiers creed are monumental this is kind of like the bottom line: "I will always place the mission first, I will never accept defeat, I will never quit, and I will never leave a fallen comrade.” The next few lines instill a standard that not only needs to be maintained but constantly improved. “I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself. I am an expert and I am a professional.” Finally I see the ending of The Soldiers Creed leaving you with a sense of pride and motivation. As you recite this part of the creed you can not help saying it a little louder and bolder. “I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.” “I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.”…

    Soldiers Creed

    I am an American Soldier. I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values. I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade. I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself. I am an expert and I am a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat. I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life. I am an American Soldier. This is the Soldier’s Creed. Drawing from the snazzy and quite handy web page of Wikipedia I was able to find out that, ”The current version of the Soldier's Creed is a product of the Warrior Ethos program authorized by the then Army Chief of Staff Eric Shineski in May 2003. It was written in part by Matt Larsen, who also founded the Army’s hand-to-hand combat program and was first presented to senior Army leaders on June 7, 2003[.The Soldiers Creed was approved in its current format by the next Army Chief of Staff Peter Schoomaker on the 24th of November of 2003. The introduction of the Soldier's Creed kicked off a campaign known as Task Force Soldier. This is a leadership commitment to soldiers ensuring that they are prepared for combat and embody the Warrior Ethos that is contained in the Soldier's Creed. It seems to have been discussed in Congress in a Hearing on Army Issues held by Senator John Warner on or about November 19, 2003. It was first published in the magazine Infantry on December 22, 2003.” I know while I was in Basic Training that saying this with your entire company, reciting it at almost a yell that it can get the blood pumping quite satisfactorily. While researching online, I found that before this particular version of the soldiers creed there was one quite a bit different, and this is how it went. I am an…

    “Don’t look at past in despair, but look towards the future and prepare for it, because when it comes you’ll be ready, to take on a new challenge” he said. If you are prepared to join the military; then expect to make a difference, if you are stuck behind a desk or in the field you will be making a difference wherever you go and just like that man who joined the military twelve years ago and was proud in doing so. You might be not where want to be, but at least you are making an impact. There was another man that joined and didn’t stop at twelve; he went on to be one of the most influential people in the military. He was in Special Forces, but he didn’t like to talk about it. However, one time he told me that he wasn’t proud of killing people, but he was proud at the fact that he was doing something for his country. He took pride in the fact that he didn’t back down when things got tough. Also, just the fact that he is doing something bigger than himself. Serving his country without fail.…
