The purpose of this paper is to identify and describe an acronym for each letter in the word ‘peace’. The definition of peace is freedom from disturbance; tranquil and content. Peace deals with the Air Force because peace is what keeps us out of war and violence. When you read this paper, you could learn many things that may help you become a better person with a good grade in the JROTC program. However, there are five words/phrases that I have learnt in JROTC that will give you an idea of what is required from a cadet. The five words/phrases are: P – Participation, E – Effort, A – Attitude, C – Cadet and E – Education. The following paragraph will be about participation.
The letter ‘p’ in the word peace stands for participation. Participation is the action of taking part in something. Participation is required in the JROTC program, and even in any other program or class. If you participate in class, you could learn something new and you will know what is going on in class instead of being lost. In some classes, participation counts as a grade. In JROTC, you must participate in class discussions, physical training, drill, tests/quizzes and warm ups. Participation in the program does not require you to join Air Force after high school. But, if you want to join after high school there will be some benefits. In order to participate in class, you must not sleep, talk or use electronics. In fact, you must be alert and be ready to answer a question. If you don’t participate in anything we do in class, your grade will drop and you will fail the class causing you to take it over or get kicked out. If you don’t want this to happen to you then, you should participate in class everyday. The next paragraph will be about effort.

...out history of flight. Education is also the key into becoming a good cadet. When being educated or being taught, you must have integrity. Having integrity will make anyone to be consistent and honest.
P stands for participation, e stands for effort, a stands for attitude, c stands for cadet and the last ‘e’ stands for education. All of these acronyms are affiliated with the JROTC program and explain what an outstanding cadet should be like. In this program, you must participate in every activity. You must make a strong effort to do the right thing and be responsible. A good attitude is important to a success in an activity and a bad attitude is a key to failure. A cadet is loyal, patriotic, has integrity and responsible for their actions. Education is the key to becoming a good cadet. Therefore, those are my acronyms for all the letters in the word ‘peace’.

The NJROTC, or Naval Junior Recruit Officer Training Corpse, is built not only to teach high school students about the navy but also allows student to become our great leaders of the future. In NJROTC cadets are asked to live up to very high standards because those students in NJROTC are thought of as the best of the best and are at that school to represent the military way of life. In this program I have learned three traits that will help me better myself not only in the future but in the day I live today. These traits that I speak of are discipline, punctuality, and respect. If not for NJROTC I would have not been as great a person and would have little or no direction in my life.
This paper will not bore with the definition of a profession. The United States Army is about more than words, it is about action. The action of over 238 years of tradition and service. The Army is a profession. A profession requires its members to adhere to prolonged training and learn specialized skills. A member of a profession must wholly commit himself and his skills to a calling which is entrusted by the public. A profession provides its members with intrinsic value which motivates beyond financial gain. The Army is a higher calling which demands all of these qualities and more.
The JROTC mission then was to get young men prepared for war, after high school cadets either went to college, enlist, or got drafted. They didn't really have a choice. The mission now is to motivate young people to become better citizens. The words may have changed drastically and so has the definition of the program’s mission, but the message remains the same. JROTC trains young people to be those citizens who will help their environment,and help those around them. The program may not be training cadets for war, but it is, just like before

In John Knowle’s A Separate Peace, symbols are used to develop and advance the themes of the novel. One theme is the lack of awareness of the real world among the students who attend the Devon Academy. The war is a symbol of the "real world", from which the boys exclude themselves. It is as if the boys are in their own little world, or bubbles secluded from the outside world and everyone else.

During the 1940’s in America, times were hard. It was a time of war. In this period of history, people found themselves looking for peace and innocence. John Knowles’s A Separate Peace illustrates a boarding school, one of the only places left to find peace, where the main characters, Gene and Phineas, face their own internal wars with each other. Starting out their friendship seems strong and everlasting but as the novel progresses, like all friendships, the fire between them seems to dwindle. Although they share the goal of excelling, Phineas and Gene clearly differ in athletics, academics, and personality.

Ever since my first visit, I have researched the Academy Extensively, exploring what it takes to become a cadet. When first informed of the chance to attend the Summer Seminar, I was finally given the opportunity to experience cadet life first hand. To attend the Seminar, I would be given a glimpse of what to expect at military Service Academy. My Expectations of the Seminar are to be taught the basic of military customs and courtesies and apply these skills to leadership applications such as drill and ceremonies (e.g. marching a flight or passing a drill inspection). Physical training will be an integral part of the academy experience. So, participation in team sports and obstacle courses will test us physical and mentally pushing us to work together. Induvial fitness will be a priority because of the intense training of the Academy. Overall, I believe the Seminar to be a learning experience for many people seeking to become a cadet. The information being beneficial for those seeking to become a future Falcon at the

Many cadets are between eighteen to twenty-one-years-old, and they strive to become successful leaders. “Truth” is one of three MMI’s core values. According to the MMI Cadet Manual of a message from Colonel Edwin Passmore, the most important trait for a successful leader is integrity (3). Cadets might not know if they have integrity because most cadets may not have experienced a position that tests their integrity. Further, cadets in leadership roles may not be able to recognize any leadership deficiencies, like lack of integrity, and therefore unintentionally may lose respect from their followers. This paper suggests that cadet leaders at MMI discover their leadership strengths and weaknesses, those inexperienced leaders may fail to tell the truth to their followers, and in turn, those followers may lose respect for those new
