The Army Personnel Services Detachment (APSD) does not present any form glass ceiling for women. This is primarily due to the nature and make up of the organization. The APSD is a military organization and the highest ranking officer in its composition is a captain. Currently, the US Army is having tremendous success in keeping equitable promotion opportunities in the junior officer ranks. The APSD has no current equal opportunity (EO) issues based on unfair treatment among the sexes, but female Soldiers have dealt with severe gender discrimination over the past 65 years.(Living the Legacy of Women’s Rights, n.d.)…

In chapter 18, A Brief History of U.S. Military Families and the Role of Social Workers (Rubin, Weiss, and Coll, 2013) discussed how U.S. Military families have played a vital role in the military community. This chapter also discussed how as time progressed, more resources became available to service men and women's families that were left behind. In addition, social workers played an important role in helping families improve over time by providing and establishing many needed services and programs.…

We got our materials together and began to work.…
Women's roles on the homefront ,include “piece work” which means They undertook tasks such as washing, ironing, sewing, lace-making and assembling toys or boxes. Women also worked housewives, taking care of their children and homes. Women who lived out on the countryside fulfilled their farm duties, such as helping out with the harvesting. “Women workers” Some women worked as nurses and a very small number worked as doctors. Many more women began to train and work in medicine and education during the war. Some women worked as school teachers or as governesses, there was a rise in the number of women taking jobs in offices. Their duties were mainly administrative tasks. Other women worked in cotton factories where some of the roles involved…
Frank Schaeffer used rhetorical appeal in “Military Families” to have his audience believe it’s wrong to have the upper class and leaders of America make decisions on war and not be a part of it. Frank uses anecdotes and rhetorical questions in the form of ethos, so that people understand what it’s is like to be a working class citizen and have to worry about their family members in war.…
Since the implementation of the United States military in 1775, women have played an important role in support of the Armed Forces.…
I have been a military wife for almost 21 years and all the above has and still have an effect on my family. I have heard about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) throughout the 21 years but not until the last few years have hit close to home. My cousin's husband has recently been diagnosed with PTSD. My cousin's husband got a dog donated by a local Vets program (Guardians of Rescue's Paws of War program) the dog wakes him or her up if he starts having bad dreams. This organization gets dogs from places like Fort Braggs shelter and Cumberland County No Kill Shelter, they send them to a training center in New York and then some local…
All men are created equal; this includes women as well. Over a decade of years, women certainly have come a long way to gain the same kind of equal equality as men, such as being able to vote and being able to join the armed forces and fight alongside men. As growing up I was always told that playing dolls is a girl’s toy and playing a car is a boy’s toy. In my cultural, I was taught that girl couldn’t work in a male job, and I was taught to do housework while the men did nothing around the house. In my house/culture, the men are the provider while the women in my opinion are the servant in which caters to every male in the household. If people were to think about combat in the army many just picture a male behind the military ACU (advanced…
War has been a controversial topic for its entire existence. Warfare is as old as humans themselves; for as long as history has been recorded, there is evidence of war. War seems to be the major way conflict is resolved, although this resolution does not come without consequences. The question is, who should have to die for the conflict to be resolved. A particularly controversial topic in war is the draft. The military draft is the forced, random selection of a people to fight in war. The United States has used the military draft in the country’s history, but the US has never drafted females. Although some individuals believe women do not have the same physical abilities as men, there should be a draft in the United States which includes women,…
Marriage and divorce are common occurrences for many young adults. However, military members marry and divorce at different rates than the general civilian population. These trends may give some insight into why enlisted women divorce at higher rates than all others. One study reported military members marry at higher rates than civilians; 60% of high school educated military members ages 23-25 were married compared to 37% of their civilian peers. The rates decrease with education but still remain higher for military members; 40% of military members with a college education were married compared to 25% of civilians (Hogan & Seifert, 2010). As a whole, military members divorce at lower rates than civilians (Kanzler et al., 2011). This number…
You make strong claims about women's role in the war which I can agree and somewhat disagree to. Although women did take on a new and more important role I believe that they were still mostly oppressed even after their important contribution to war efforts. The war did give women opportunities to expand their role and take part in other areas of life rather than their usual domestic sphere. However, Thomas Jefferson explains his view of the women’s role by stating, “…there was no place in the new American republic for female political participation” (Shi & Tindall, 2015, p.178) with this being said even if women did get to participate in war efforts and expand their role in society do you think their role changed as dramatically as you claim?…
The protection and assurance of equal treatment of America’s armed service members is one the most pertinent duties of the United States Defense Department. With an annual budget of nearly 550 billion dollars, and nearly 3.2 million servicemen and women serving around the world, the Defense Department is one of the most important functioning organizations in America’s public sector. With an enormous budget and a bevy of capable leadership Americans have become accustomed to only the best from the armed forces. The men and women who serve America’s armed forces are expected to exemplify what it means to be an American citizen and receive the appropriate care in return for their services. However, recent allegations of numerous cases of sexual…
My purpose in helping military families is to provide common families services alongside situation specific ones. These circumstances would include spouse deployment, post-traumatic stress cases, combat ready evaluations, and providing tools to aid in coping. Traditionally, some of these aspects affect numerous different populations however, the military deals with a larger amount of cases. Additionally, military families face numerous common issues such as financial stressors, addictions, and communication barriers within the family. My goal in working with these families is to, as a marriage and family therapist, aid in providing all of these salient services. Moreover, my main tool is to give the military community access to the tools and services they need. I aim to continually aid in providing both family support and family preservation focused care to the military population.…
What sacrifices do you make during a normal day for you? We have the comfort and security of living in a free country, we can do what we want to do, for the most part. But what about the people that provide us with this freedom. The military that sacrifices their time, sometimes their life for our freedoms. For all they do for this country they deserve more what they get.…
