I also enrolled to help me determine if I want to join the Air force, and I know if I do wish to join the Air force I would need all the values and qualities that JROTC teaches to their students. I’m also trying to surround myself with positive peer pressure rather than negative peer pressure. I look forward to this class because I know that it is going to be very challenging and demanding. The class should help me to focus better on my education and life. You need structure to keep things in order and to keep chaos down.
At all times must they follow the kings and lords commands and If not followed then there are greatly dishonored. Knights and samurais were more similar than different in three broad areas: social position, training and armor, honor and death. Both warriors honorably fought for their lords when Japans and Europe’s need them the most. So it’s time to find out if the similarities are really greater than the differences! Back in medieval days they used social class pyramids every day.
Prince Siddhartha Gautama Prince Siddhartha Gautama was the scion of a family of warrior-kings in northern India. He was being indoctrinated for the time when he would assume his father’s throne. Growing up in an atmosphere of opulence, the young prince was constantly shielded from the cruel realities of the world. An army of obsequious servants and tutors catered to his every desire providing Siddhartha with instruction in riding, fencing, dancing, and painting-while lavishing fulsome praise upon him. It wasn’t until the prince was thirty that he took the first step that led to his becoming the Buddha, one of the world’s greatest spiritual leaders.
Caputo starts out as a young man who was just joining to rebel, but in the end he is a confident leader and knows exactly what to do in certain situations that come in his way. He also learns how attached he can become to certain soldiers when he undertakes the job of being the assistant adjutant as a casualty reporter. He starts realizing the true fears and looks death straight in the face and realizes that this war is all too real, and his friends are starting to die. While he is also in training he is learning how strict the commanding officers can be to him and what happens when you think or react too slowly to a certain situation. All of these traits change over the course of the book and he becomes one of the best leaders in the
Another big takeaway was that despite the brutality and emotions of combat, a leader must remain calm, see the big picture, and anticipate the “next steps” for his unit and the enemy. Tom Hiebert: We Were Soldiers was published just as I was getting ready to take command. The timeless value of the book then, as it remains to me to this day, is in demonstrating to young leaders the value of setting and maintaining standards and discipline in training as these translate directly to success in combat. Also, LTG Moore compares and contrasts the effects in combat of good solid leadership (and, again, standards and discipline) with the lack thereof in the second part of his book concerning the exploits of McDade and 2-7 Cavalry at LZ [landing zone] Albany. I tried to carry these lessons with me everywhere as a company commander.
In Japan, at young age of 14, the children that trained were already becoming Samurais. At the age of 14 in Europe, the children worked hard alongside Knights to gain approval and become a Knight at about the age of 21. Both were trained very rigorously (Doc C). Both wore armor, with small differences in the way they were made, they were both used to protect themselves against their enemies (Doc D). The Samurais and Knights both dedicated their lives to training to become worthy warriors, they both wore protection for the same purpose, and their way of life was very
Glancing once he regretted sheathing his sword already without fully checking the area for more foes. However the gods were on his side today and he drew in time to parry a blow from above, from a figure with a young face, almost newly trained in Fabien's eyes. The loud clang of metal to metal echoed in the knights ears. Yes Fabien was a knight, one of the oldest in the group but with experience and some had a sense that he would never falter in anything when it came to fulfilling the queen's wishes. It was a reason why the queen favored him so when it came to fighting.
Wearing uniform teaches us responsibility; we have to make sure that our uniform is in order, and has everything on correctly. The JROTC program also develops character, leadership, discipline, and teamwork throughout the whole program. You learn how to drill cadets, which develops teamwork and discipline. When you get into a higher rank you get more advanced in leadership in drill. Many of the JROTC cadets do not end up like the students that do not take the class.
Arthurian Legends Essay The knights if the Arthurian Legends are often caught between the almost impossible rolls they are expected to fill and their expectations of being a knight as well. The knights are expected to display chivalry, such as being loyal to the king, being polite and honest, and to defend the weak. They are also expected to follow the rules of courtly love which is a lover’s willingness to serve his lady, no matter what challenges he may face. The knights in the Arthurian Legends struggle with balancing their knighthood and doing what they really want to, as shown by Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain and Sir Tristan. Sir Lancelot displays one of his internal conflicts through his struggles with being loyal to the king and
When the young boys grew to be about age six or seven they were sent to a military school where they were taught the different strategies of war. The girls were taught how to please their men with cooking and cleaning of the household. When the boys grew to men they were sent on a conquest with the army and if they fell in battle it was a great honor but if they returned you returned a man. The Government of both societies was a crucial part of their city-states. The Spartan government was a militaristic style government with two kings.
