When returning to school as a non-traditional student you need to set goals for yourself. I have decided to return to school as a non-traditional student, at the age of 35. Almost all of my adulthood was spent in the United States Marine Corps. Due to scheduling conflicts during my time in the military I was unable to attend college. Now that I am out of the Military it has been hard to secure a new career path, because businesses want someone with a degree. My ultimate goal is to be able to get my Bachelor of Science in Business Management in order to help me grow my business and give me something to fall back on if my business is unsuccessful. I determined that a Bachelor of Science in Business Management would be great because every business wants to grow and they want to use any and all assets to increase their net gain. My understanding of this is largely because I am a small business owner myself. I believe that my background and my mentality will help me succeed in this degree. In the Marine Corps I spent about two years managing special operations training budgets. With my understanding of business concepts I was able to save the unit in excess of $80,000. Hopefully my past experiences will be a great asset in my success. …show more content…
With this being stated the question is how does that benefit me? It is my opinion that having been an instructor before will help me better understand how to incorporate multiple learning styles into each course. When I first became an instructor for special operation skills, we had to take multiple personality tests. There has also been personality, love language and other self-examination tests taken in my Sunday school class, and although our focus is marriage enrichment, the results can be used throughout life. I am planning to use all of this to help me be the best student I can
According to Nofi, “The United States Marine Corps is America's best-known military unit and perhaps the most famous in the world” . The traditions of the Marine Corps date way back since 1775 and the current regulations have been derived from the way marines in the past carried out their day to day activities. Some customs have been incorporated into the current orders and regulations to be able to standardize conduct of the marines. It is important for a marine to know and keep in mind traditional customs because one should never forget their heritage, therefore, practiced tradition in the Marine Corps should take precedence over Marine Corps orders and regulations .
When I joined the United States Marine Corps, I knew it would change my life, but I never realized how great those changes would be. I was trained in public affairs as a print and broadcast journalist, and immediately stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Drastic life changes can take a toll both physically and emotionally over time, and it is always important to have a great personal support system to thrive through those times. My senior advisor at the time, Master Gunnery Sgt. (Master Guns) Charles Albrecht, turned out to be one of the best supporters I could ever ask for.
The United States Merchant Marines The United States Merchant Marines are complied of thousands of the best trained men and women of today to man naval or commercial ships. Merchant Marines have dated back even further then the United States Coast Guard. The Merchant Marines have had a huge impact on the United States Navy since they have been established. Merchant Marines have manned fleets of ships for the U.S. Navy which carry imports and export during peace time.
Throughout high school I have dreamed of having the opportunity to attend Indiana University. I have a true passion for babies. I love to learn how babies are developed and how they become such an amazing part of the world. Therefore, I would like to apply to Indiana University and pursue a degree in Pediatric Nursing. I would love to be able to deliver babies and deliver new life into this earth. There are several opportunities available for me to get involved with new leadership opportunities. I want to be able to be a leader for all age groups.
A global citizen is that who is willing to use its voice and knowledge to make a change. No one would ever be able to make a change in just one day, it is something that takes time and devotion. I’m really interested in diversity and I’m seeking to what is my role is as a world citizen. The fact that I’m searching for an international education is the proof of my desire to establish myself as a global citizen and my interest in the world issues.
Over the past 15 years as a nation at war, the Marine Corps has learned the significance of reactiveness and versatility. Expeditionary Force 21(EF21), is a blueprint for the Marine Corps to remodel its forces in order to perform in a multifunctional facet, providing support in any Geographic Combatant Command (GCC). This document delivers the framework to build additional capacity in global response while operating in an environment that is ambiguous in nature. As part of the naval forces, the Marine Corps’ primary responsibility is the “development of amphibious doctrine, tactics, techniques, and equipment.” However, current warfare has proved that war has characteristics that are ever changing and may require the Marine Corps to execute other missions in combat operations, humanitarian aid when disaster strikes, governmental advisement/assistance to officials in other countries, or
I have always wanted to be a soldier in the United States Army. I liked the idea of serving of my country. I started at a young age trying to help my community. I volunteered to help at soup kitchens, do yard work for elderly or disabled people, and I joined the Boy Scouts and later on became a Junior leader and an Eagle Scout. This desire of helping others led me to enlist in the P.A. ARNG in March 2015. I enlisted with the intent of becoming an officer. I originally planned on going to Valley Forge Military College. I later on received the full ECP scholarship. This decision had changed when I was in B.C.T. at Fort Jackson SC. I had met with a cadet who had just finished his 3rd year at West Point. He loved it and after talking with him
The United States of America has a long history of trying to provide support and benefits for the men (and recently women) who have fought for the country dating back to the Colonial War time in 1636. The Pilgrims passed a law saying the colony would care for the disabled soldiers who fought against Native Americans (U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs, 2015b). During this time, it was customary for veterans to receive pensions for their service during war-time. This effort was made to prevent desertions and to encourage more men to enlist. Another effort the U.S. government made was to offer public land free to men who fought in the war due to only 3,000 men drawing on the pensions offered during the Revolutionary
Customs and courtesies are paramount to establishing a foundation of good order and discipline in the Marine Corps. According to Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 6-11B, Marine Corps Values: A User’s Guide for Discussion Leaders, “Military courtesy... is a key ingredient in the relations between members of the armed forces of our nation, reflecting a high degree of mutual respect and pride.” Between enlisted Marines and officers, this mutual respect begins when the enlisted Marine greets and salutes the officer. Displaying military courtesies show respect for the officer's leadership, experience, and training. Mutual respect also facilitates positive unit cohesion.
As a student that is currently seeking a career in the medical professions, I have had to routinely contemplate my reasons for pursuing such an extensive education program in a field that is constantly demanding excessive time and effort. I know of students—many friends and acquaintances of mine included—that have the most sure-fire, inspirational stories that align with their desire to become doctors, surgeons, physician assistants, etc. They always seemed to have a story that emphasized their desire to “give back” what they have received from the medical community. Because of that, ever since the beginning of high school, I have been trying to find an extraordinary reason, a purpose for my medical pursuits. Perhaps I could justify my passion for
As service members we have a huge opportunity with the different MOS skills we learn throughout our years in the Military. Service members often transition out of the military and find it hard to find jobs in the civilian sector especially a combat MOS with little credentials or license to transition over. The military is working hard to change that and give active duty service members and veterans the opportunity to gain credentials and different licenses to a broad range of enlisted jobs. Out of about 200,000 soldiers transitioning out of the military each year, about 38 percent of them will need some type of credential or license in order to find a good job in the civilian sector.
The Navy SEAL What is a Navy SEAL and what is their importance? The U.S. Navy SEALS were originally established in 1962 by president John F. Kennedy. They were created as a small, elite maritime force to undertake Unconventional warfare. They perform small unit, high impact missions that larger forces such as tanks, ships, jets, and submarines cannot.
I went back to school with the simple goal of getting my degree and moving ahead in my career. School, education and obtaining my degree were always important to me, since my profession requires a bachelor degree to qualify for national certification, it was a better excuses than any to finally go to college and get the degree I had always wanted. As an adult student I put a lot of pressure on myself to do everything to the best of my ability, to keep the bar high and to go above and beyond what I even expected of myself; many times over extending my self and doing too much.
