Recommended: Essay about picking a college

Many people know what path they want to after high school, whether it be college, military or workforce. For myself, I am still debating on two paths. The two I am debating on is to attend college or join the military. If I decide to take the college route; my place to attend would be Ohio University. I chose this college because it's far away enough from home to where I have my independence but close enough to where if I ever wanted to go home for the weekend, I could. Ohio University also has many other great aspects along with it. If I decided to take the military path, I would join the Navy or the Air Force. The military has many benefits along with it, such as paying for your schooling, teaching self-discipline, life insurance, etcetera. …show more content…

For college, one step I will need to take is to find out what I want to major in. I’ve decided that if I take this path, I will go undecided my first year, but will declare a major by the end of my freshman year. Another step I will have to take is to sign up for extracurricular activities at the college so that I can stay involved with the community. One last step I will need to take to achieve my goals is to get a job once I get to college so I can buy a car and/or use the money for other necessities (food, gas, etc.). For the military route as well, there are steps needed to take in order to achieve my goals. For one, I will need to figure out what branch I’d like to join. I can achieve this by talking to recruiters from each branch and getting the information from them. Another step I’ll need to take is to take the ASVAB and get sworn in. Lastly, before I can even get started on the job within the military; I'll need to take the step and complete basic

  • Irregular Warfare Essay

    810 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is a general discord among stakeholders on the definition of irregular warfare and where the term and concept fits within the joint and the individual services’ doctrine. The 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review report uses the term “irregular” only once in its one hundred and five pages and only in terms of a focus on building the joint force’s capability and capacity to deal with irregular warfare while maintaining a clear conventional and nuclear global superiority. Currently, the definition is ambiguous and results in conflict or duplication of efforts across Department of Defense stakeholders. For the purposes of this paper, the stakeholders discussed are the Army and the Marine Corps. Stakeholders must reach a consensus and clearly define irregular warfare in order to establish comprehensive irregular war policy and strategy.
