Diversity is the Military is a broad topic which has its advantages and disadvantages in military organizational setting. Serving 5 years in the military I have known how diversified is our nation’s military based on race, religion and ethnicity. Diversity makes any organization strong because of the diversified resources and ideas the organization achieves from its members. We can be proud that we inherit such a diversified culture we have acquired in our armed forces but in reality the military struggles
academy is because I wish to serve my country as a military officer. I feel it would be an honor to be able to serve as an officer in the best military on the planet. The service academies challenge their students morally, mentally, and physically on a daily basis. I have always been the type of person that readily accepts and defeats such challenges. The service academies also offer some of the most prestigious degrees in the country which entices me. Giving back to my country and all the veterans who
My main objective is to serve my country and I know the Naval Academy will help me achieve that goal. As the son of a career naval officer, I have spent my entire life around military personnel and their families, and witnessing firsthand their commitment and pride serving in the Army, Navy Air Force and Marine Corps. It has been my goal now for several years to serve in the military, like my father and grandfather. I have aspired to attend the Naval Academy since I entered high school in Guantanamo
The basis of my moral philosophy is the socially acceptable actions that general society deem virtuous and allowable. In discussing my moral philosophy, experiences from of my military and my interpersonal dealings played a big part of my moral philosophy.

Leaving the military can be a tough maneuver to overcome and can be a intimidating experience for most Veterans. Firstly the adversity of being a Veteran who has served and not finding a job. Secondly the hardships leaving the military to enter school, scarcely making ends meet and finally accepting help when requiring it. As an outcome of these life lessons, I acknowledge the reason for supporting transitioning Veterans out of the military, the reason for higher education and helping out a Veteran
has been my privilege and honor to serve our country,” but why? To understand why military veterans reflect on their service in such a positive way, it is necessary to understand who they are and what made them this way. Greg Terpstra, an Iraqi war veteran, started as a private, became a green beret physician, switched to the officer side, got promoted to a Colonel, and later retired. To understand why he appreciates his service, it is important to know why he wanted to enlist in the military, what
relate to such as this one on the military. In more detail it is about how veterans cope with coming home from combat operations and how they miss it when they are back in civilian life. I chose this topic because I recently just returned home from a tour in Afghanistan and now with me back in the civilian lifestyle I honestly can say I miss it. The speaker Sebastian Junger tells of his experience and describes to us in a way that we can relate to that of the military and people in a combat zone. The
I define military leadership as being ready to lead your subordinates in any direction under any kind of pressure in any situation. Hearing about my parents experiences in the Bosnian military during the Bosnian war has made me very aware of how fast situations can escalate in war and how much followers depend on leaders to make the right decisions and guide them in the right direction.

It was a day that I had been waiting for months,an interview that could change my life. Yet all I could think about were the puddles in my shoes and the freezing water running down my fingertips."Wow Antonio you managed not to bring an umbrella to the most important interview of your life". As I looked down the what seemed like an endless white walled hallway, I heard something that took me by surprise, "military youth get things handed to them on a silver platter". Right then I knew that the wait
I retired from the military, I always thought about my skill set differences between my military police law enforcement operations experience compared to the city, county and state law enforcement operations requirements for another organization.
