I have my mother, brother, sisters and daughter that are part of the drive for what I do, but I have an interal drive that can only be explained as a storm inside of me.

I live my life with a never quit attitude and that is because I have had great mentors thoughout my life. My law enforcement teacher, Mr. Thomas, my grandfather, my wresting coach, and my conditioning coach. All of them have taught me to push harder everyday and to never quit; I carry those lessons with me everyday and I do my best to better myself everyday.

    My Air Force story begins with me searching for a viable way to pay for college. I was brought up in a home with two hard working parents who were great role models that tried to provide every opportunity for me. However, my family was part of the lower-middle class which meant I needed a way to pay for college. I followed suit with my parent’s stringent work ethic and set a goal to pursue a degree in aerospace engineering and have the Air Force fund it. I felt that the Air Force would be a great match as it would allow me to pursue my aviation dream and also serve as a great way to fund my education due to my financial needs.

  • Navy Working Uniform Essay

    641 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Navy has a notorious tradition of changing uniforms on a semi-regular basis. The last major change happened around 2010 when the Navy switched from Utilities to Type I Navy Working Uniforms (NWU). Seven years later a new change was announced going from Type I to Type III NWU. But, the 2017 NAVADMIN released did not just change the regular working uniforms as it additionally brought a sleuth of revisions to the general uniform policies. Understandably, the reaction of sailors towards these developments has been mixed at best. But, in the spirit of keeping everyone informed, here is a brief list of key changes:

    We all know that the US spends the biggest amount of money on the military because of terrorism and wanting to be strategically ahead of all the other countries. They are just trying to protect our country from being attacked again especially after Pearl Harbor and 9/11. But maybe the military has gone a bit too far in some instances, like underwater sonar testing. The Navy was just renewed permits to conduct exercises in an extensive area in the Pacific Ocean. The training and testing range stretches from Northern California to the Canadian border. The navy claims “many adversaries have and continue to acquire modern, quiet subs, torpedoes, and underwater mines that pose serious threats to the lawful use of the sea, the global economy, and the safety of our forces”, which is why the navy needs to be able to have real life practice out in the ocean. The navy did think about the animals in the area and are practicing routines to protect animals, “such as using trained lookouts to avoid marine mammals or halting sonar if marine mammals approach our ships within certain safety zones.” But the percentage of "Visual detection can miss anywhere from 25 to 95 percent of the marine mammals in an area," says Heather Trim, Director of Policy for People for Puget
