Why I Want To Go To The Military
Did you know in some other countries citizens are forced to go to the military.I don't think that’s right to put 18 year olds in the military. Because you don’t no what can happen they could get shot,or even blown up. That’s why I think we as young men shouldn’t go because I think we should have the opportunity to pick are lifestyle.And another reason is you wouldn’t be at home like talking about.

My first reason I say no to this military thing i’m going to miss my family, especially my little sister because they need a role model in their life because without me who do they got. Second I will miss my girlfriend because she has been there for me when i need I her the most, so she will be a big part of who I miss.Third I will miss my basketball because i really love my basketball even though they got it in the military. I still don't want to do that because I will miss all of my family.And most importantly I don't want to cut my hair.

And it be hot sometimes like I can't be in the sun all day.I will be black as my hair and I don’t want to be that black like that’s crazy to be that black. I want to eat all day and just do me and I can’t do that if i’m in the army saving other people's lives and stuff.

Another reason is i’m scared. I’m scared to get blown up like I seen it in movies they get the whole body blown off and refuse to let that happen to me.second I don’t want to get shot that is how most people dies they getting shot and stuff and me I won’t get shot I refuse to get shot I want to live long as I want to and I won't let anybody kill me.Like me getting shot is something else like they got me confused for somebody else. And lastly I don’t want to make enemies like that is a big no no with me not like i’m scared or anything is just they might be terrorist or

    My decision to join the military in general I believe subconsciously started when my older brother returned from Army basic training. While my brother was a pretty smart guy he had never really been to apply himself nor did he have the drive to, but whatever had happened to him during army basic training had made a change in him; a change for the best. He came back and the transformation was evident in every single one of his actions and thoughts. He had a drive to accomplish all of his goals dreams and aspiration, not only that he had the discipline necessary to stay on his new found path. I went on to college in the fall fallowing his return from basic training not sure if these new traits and strength I saw in him would continue or disappear. When I returned home that fall after my first semester and talked to him and I saw the changes had stayed with him and grown even further. With all that he had used the tools he had been given to accomplish so much in already so little of time. All that stayed in my head, but it did not become relevant to me until my sophomore year of college. I realized that while I was…

    Having been involved in the scouting program for well over a decade and with most of which being during the most formative times of my life, Scouting has certainly contributed to my desire to become a Marine Corps Officer. From the onset of the scouting program I have been instilled with many values, starting every scout function with the scout law, “A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.” While there are many valuable principles thought by both the scouts and the Marine Corps the (65)three main values that both organizations stress of honor, courage, and commitment are among the ones I hold most high. The familiar sense of brotherhood within the Marine Corps is also something that I feel a very close and strong connection with is brotherhood is and was a fundamental part of my close-nit high school community. As an Eagle Scout I was taught to lead by example and as a marine I would strive to do the same, leading from the front and always living up to the standards of honor, courage, and commitment set forth by the Navy and Marine Corps long time-honored history.(63)(128)…

For some I have known, this means even laying down their lives for something they fully believed was greater than themselves. This is the highest example of servanthood.…
