Aaron Ludwig Witschonke October 26, 2009 Service Learning Project Operation Care Package Issue: I identified that there are many students whose parents are in the Military. Many of the students have brothers, sisters, and/or parents that have gone off to fight the war.

For a service learning project, I would love to have the students send care packages to our troops and also write letters to them while they are overseas. I believe that the troops and the students will both benefit from this Service Learning Project.
Because of the cost of the exams, they are only given at certain times. It may be a year or two before the next opportunity to take an exam arise. Next a battery of tests is given to the potential officer that he or she has to endure and complete. He or she will be given a medical exam, criminal record check, background check, psychological testing, drug test, a polygraph, physical agility testing, driving record check, and have a personal interview. Once the results of the test come back, a more rigorous selection process begins.

They maintain a specific Military Occupational Specialty for K-9 officers, giving access to K-9 units whenever required. Whenever Ordinance Disposal or Aviation is required, the Military Police Corps utilizes the separate Army branches of Ordinance and Aviation respectively (“What’s it like to be an Army MP” 1).

Career Reflection Paper The career path in which I have chosen to follow is United States Army Soldier. However, as I have inched closer to reaching my 20-year mark in the Army and prepare for retirement, I have chosen to complete my collegiate studies, so that upon my Army retirement, I can pursue a career as a Human Resources Management Officer. Being a Soldier, has allowed me to not only learn about my own abilities as a leader and hone those skills, but also, I have learned to follow others in pursuit of accomplishing a common goal (a mission). These abilities are going to be extremely helpful in my post Army career in some type of corporation. I have the privilege of being the grandson of two Korean War veterans who both served honorably with the all Puerto Rican, 65th Infantry Regiment.
