I’ve seen the large impact that sexual assault has on the military first hand. I entered basic training only about two years after the Lackland scandal. In order to be fair with opposing views in my RBAA, I included information about what good the military was doing. I explained how the Air Force spends a large amount of time during a new enlistees training process devoted towards training in sexual assault prevention and resources that are available. I also read a lot about the issue and the…
Question 1. B In my military National Guard unit we only meet two weekends a month and two weeks or more out of the year for military training. There is only a couple of military members that work in our unit full time. They work during the week as well as the weekend we have training.

In most military units…

Statistics report that thirty-eight service members are sexually assaulted a day and not enough has been done to address this…

cold, snowy day in December. I’ll start from the beginning. Since I was young I’d wanted to be in the military. My mother and father always told me stories of their time in the Pineville High School JROTC, (Junior Reserved Officer Training Corps, a type of military training for highschool students) and no matter how many times I heard them I listened raptly, fully engrossed in their tales of Drill Team competitions and bonds that could never be broken. So, naturally, I joined the JROTC program…
elite members have key characteristics instilled in them early in their careers that the private sector does not require. Being in the military means giving up some of your freedoms for the better good of others. Those who go through basic military training are torn down and then rebuilt and molded to represent the branch of service for which they represent. Regardless of service affiliation this occurs to make all recruits equal and build them up using a team approach. Just as with…

23rd of January in 2013 was a historic day for women in the United States, because the Department of Defense lifted the ban that didn’t allow women to fight in combat.

After the 23rd of January 2013, the Department of Defense recognized the contributions that women have made to the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and have since realized that we don’t…
