Becoming a member of the United States Army Recruiter, one must have a physical and mental toughness to do this duty. These are most essential aspect to be a recruiter. Individual must be trained to assist civilians interested in joining the Army. As a recruiter, you must be highly motivated and disciplined, with strong communication skills. As representatives of the U.S. Army, the recruiter must be exemplary in presentation and judgement. Finally, I am interesting to become a recruiter to enhance my carrier progression.
Even since I joined the United States Army on 23 March, 2005 out of Omaha, Nebraska, all I have been hearing about the recruiting is how busy this duty is. Well, in the United States Army, it doesn’t really matter what kind

I didn’t do this because I were running away from any circumstance at home. It was because I was enthusiastic and motivated enough to be a member of the United States Armed Forces. Hence, it was my motivation and dedication that guided me to serve my country. Eleven years later, I’m still the same person who happened to have a love of serving the country without any issue. Therefore, Soldiers or individuals who have pride and know the importance of serving the country are what the Army needs. I believe that for our fighting force to stay relevant and strong, the recruiters should focus more into recruiting those who are enthusiastic with strong desire to serve the nation. Henceforth, with my strong character, I think I would recruit the best civilians out there in civilian world into our Army. I’m clearly understand the importance of recruiting duty. Thereof, there is no doubt in my mind this is a donning task, which take an individual like myself with high motivation to do this job. I’m very optimistic that when I join the recruiting team, I will make a great difference by recruiting some of the best and well qualify civilians, which would make our Army one of the best among other
Imagine it’s the year of 1777 in cold Philadelphia at Valley Forge. It smells like fresh log from the huts. You see injured men and people starving for food. People crying from the pain and in the corner of your eye you see General Washington making Revolutionary War attack plans. We are here to fight for our freedom. The enlistment is over and you and the rest of the soldiers at Valley Forge have to decide whether or not you are going to quit. If I were you I would quit because of the lack of supplies, family issues, and illness/death.
The first reason I will re-enlist is I could help the soldiers and I could lift their spirit up. The healthy hitherto begins to grow sickly and there very depressed from the continued fatigue. “I am sick discontented and out of humor. Vomit half my time.” ( Dr. Waldo) ( Doc C). As you can see that he is a little depressed so I will help him by keeping my spirit cheerful and give them motivation speeches to help and tell them good things and not bad news. This reason is causing me to reenlist because there getting depressed and I could help them try to get less depressed and the doctors are tired so I can try to lift their spirits as well. Like Thomas Paine wrote these are times that try men’s souls.(Thomas Paine Doc D)
My life is like a dying essence, but the soldiers are like broken glass. Many soldiers were ill and freezing at Valley Forge. The soldiers and I were like trees dying because of no water or energy. George Washington was not trusted by Congress, and I don’t trust him. Why are we here to fight? We are only falling to pieces. We are in low progress of protecting our country. That is why I have decided to not re-enlist for three reasons. The reasons are that: many lives were lost, soldiers were ill, and I don’t have encouragement to fight.
My personal Air Force story began with a strong family tradition of military service. My great-uncle, whom I never knew, served as an infantryman during World War I. My grandfather served in the Navy as a flight instructor during World War II, training pilots who went on to win the war against Japan in the Pacific. My father served as a Huey helicopter crew chief and door gunner in the Army during the Vietnam War. After the war, he completed the remainder of his 20-year career in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, flying Medical Evacuation missions in the Huey. My uncle also served in the Army during Vietnam. With such strong examples of service set by men I respected, I decided early in life that I, too, wanted to serve in my nation’s armed forces. The only question was how.
The military is an essential component of the security of the United States. The military needs men and women at the peak of their performance. Because of this, the military looks to recruit high school students as young as seventeen years old. However, many people do not want recruiters in high schools and the debate of whether high schools should allow military recruiters inside has transpired. Numerous reasons exist explaining why schools should allow recruiters on campuses. High schools should allow military recruiters because, although many say that recruiters don’t tell the whole truth, students usually already know the information. Recruiters inform students of the benefits and opportunities that the military offers and they encourage students to graduate high school.
In June 2013 Army Doctrine Reference Publication 1 (ADRP1) “The Army Profession” was released and the website http://cape.army.mil was created. In (ADRP1), it states there are five essential characteristics of the Army Profession, trust, military expertise, honorable service, Esprit de Corps, and stewardship (ADRP1, 2013). Those characteristics is what I think separates a Soldier from a civilian. No one should think that their job or occupation is harder or more important than someone else’s. It takes all kinds of professions to make this country work but the Army could not be as successful as it is today without our professionals teaching, coaching, mentoring and preserving these five characteristics.
Recruitment depends on the recruiter’s ability to understand the organization’s requirement. If the recruiter is someone from outside, it is normal to not to recognize the business’s necessities. This is a human nature to consider self first. With this attitude some recruiters are more focused to close the deal, doesn’t matter if they have obtained the right ones or not. Rather than finding the best one for the open position, they try to get the job done with the ones who were acquired through the traditional, non-engaging, and fast to complete recruitment process. But this can be a cause of the organization’s poor productivity. Because, with efficient people comes efficient results/ outcomes. If the employer is considering the efficiency as a second priority then the business is increasing cost, as inefficiency itself is a costly thing. So the mindset of a recruiter should be hiring the best not the mediocre. To find the best, more efforts are needed. It won’t work if the hirer keeps thinking about finishing the task as soon as possible. At the same time, the employer also needs to...
Finally, when the average American high school graduate steps into the real world and wonders what to do with his life, wondering if going to college is the best choice or wanting to jump into the white/blue collar world. Unfortunately, most don’t have the sufficient funds or the essential experience. That’s why I would recommend them to join the army, because after the completion of
The United States Army consists of soldiers from many diverse cultures. Citizenship is not a requirement to join the Army, so people enlist from across the United States as well as from many countries around the world. The Army has its own unique culture that is a conglomeration of the many cultures that make up its population. Each new soldier is expected to adapt to this new culture and integrate as a member of a larger team. Helping new soldiers make this adaptation as quickly as possible and with few difficulties is a challenge for the leaders of new soldiers throughout the Army.
Being a soldier was a really tough life. In the end I hated doing the same thing day after day with no change in sight, I despised the leaders that didn 't take care of their subordinates, and most importantly, I couldn 't lead my soldiers from the front anymore. I 'll be the first one to say that joining the army was the best thing to happen to me. I have grown so much as a person and the lessons I learned are invaluable. In the end I realized the negative factors outweighed any possible benefit I might receive from continued service. It was time for me to
The United States has long been known for having a military presence that few would dare to challenge. The catalyst has not been in having billions in defense funds, it has not been in having huge weapons of mass destruction, it is the heart and spirit of the soldier. I am very proud to be a part of this long and proud tradition of upholding the ideals set forth in the U.S. Constitution. It is something that I would recommend to all willing and able college students. It instills a sense of pride and satisfaction that is matched by no other. As a soldier, there are many options as far as what type of soldier you wish to be. It is similar to choosing a career in the civilian world. The first step in this process is choosing your military branch. There are four main branches in the military; the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.
They must uphold the Army values as well as their own. They must demonstrate a commitment to being moral and ethical people so that their soldiers and their peers know that they are someone who as principle. Ultimately an Army officer must be good under pressure. They must know how to react without panicking in a difficult situation. Officers lead their men to battle and must have level heads and be calm when difficult situations arise. They must be quick thinkers and they must be able to think out of the box because many situations they will encounter require
I grew up in a small town and after I graduated high school I wanted more in life than a 9 to 5 job; I wanted to see the world. I had a few friends that had joined the military and had come home to visit with exciting stories about their experiences. I noticed a change in a few of them; they seemed to walk a little taller, maybe act a bit more mature. This, along with the intrigue of life outside of my small town, drew me to consider joining the military. I met a recruiter in Lakeland Florida in July of 1989 and a few months later on September 26th I raised my right hand and took the Oath of Enlistment. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into.
Physical training is a very essential part of the army culture. Physical fitness has a direct influence on their combat readiness which also ties into needing to be mentally and physically tough. Being physically fit allows you to be productive and also gives you the opportunity to enjoy even the little things in life. It also allows you to be able to adapt and survive through tough living conditions. Having the proper diet and exercise can improve a person’s quality of life. Maintaining a high level of fitness helps you perform at higher levels throughout your life. Healthy muscles are less susceptible to to injury, less likely to tear and give in to stress. Which is why it’s important to take care of your body. Soldiers who don’t meet military fitness standards risk being discharged or maybe disciplinary actions.
The day I finally signed up to join the military I knew I was taking a risk in my life. I believe it is important to take risks in life to move into bigger and better things. My first huge decision I made in my life was to join the United States Air Force. My uncle was the main person who put the idea in my head but my dad and my friends thought otherwise. My parents were divorced when I was young and I didn’t have the privilege like my friends to sit down and talk their decisions through with their parents. My father was excluded from the draft after he got in a car accident and I didn’t think he was very fond me joining the service. The main reason I chose to go into the military was make the decision to serve the country. The major decision in my opinion to join the military is to have the privilege to serve your own country. I think it is great for young men and woman to have ambition to serve and it can change a person into very motivated individual. My uncle and my mother were both very supportive and thought that it would be a great decision in my life. My mother knew it would be hard to see me go but was excited of the idea of coming to visit me in Texas. I knew it was taking a big risk being on my own but I was ready for a change in my life.
