After my morning exercise, I drove to work at around nine in the morning. So far everything is normal and, I am excited for an upcoming four day weekend. This means I get to go back home to Chicago and I would not have to be back on base until Monday night. I felt like I was free, until I heard my sergeant coming towards me. When my sergeant arrived he said, “I know it is hot today but, we need to spray paint all our tools plus the boats, so we can distinguish which equipment is ours.” At this point I just wanted to get this task done as quickly as possible, so I could get away from the base and go home to my family and friends.
Pick up day is the day we first meet our new trainees. It starts very early for them and for us. They pack all their newly issued gear in duffle bags, eat breakfast and stand on the Drill pad in formation in time for the Drill Sergeants to come and get them. We Drill Sergeants arrive at eight AM sharp and are prepared for what could seem like the longest day of our lives. Although the basic trainees have already been around Drill Sergeants, the group they see approaching them on the drill pad seems scarier and we can see the fear in their eyes.
After boot camp I went to MCT and MOS school. MCT was Marine combat training and that was a few months after boot camp. Then I went to MOS school to learn how to drive Military vehicles. These two schools did not last long but was important in my training. While I was in MOS school one of the instructors came into the classroom, and told us “You are all going
He and I had been friends for as long as I could remember. After meeting up we both headed to our class while discussing new soccer techniques we had picked up the previous weekend. After a short time we arrived in class and took our seats. As part of the morning rituals, everyone took out their homework that was assigned the previous day. At about 8:45AM the morning announcements came on and the whole class rose from their seats like the sun rises in the morning, and placed their right hands on their hearts as the intercom announced: “I Pledge Allegiance to the flag, Of the United States of America, And to the Republic for which it stands,” And
It was, how do you know when you are truly a Marine? Well, I eventually found out. After 12 excruciating weeks, I reached the top. I remember “Proud to be an American” playing, my drill instructor handing me a Marine Corps emblem, an EGA, and telling me congratulations Marine. With tears streaming down my face, I was finally a Marine.

I was 20 years old when I was called to go and serve my country, so when I was told where I was going I was a little scared at first, but eventually that went away since we started training and getting ready for combat. Once the training was over, we got our flight date for which we would be going to Kuwait first. We landed in Kuwait on June 16th of 2003. Once I was there I had to get use to the weather because by ten in the morning it would be 130 degrees or higher. It took me about two weeks to get used to being in such a hot and dry place.
Carl successfully completed the assignment with no problem and hired 15 new hires. For most people this will seem that the easiest part of the new hire process was completed. The next step for the new hire process was to give them training. He scheduled a new hire orientation to take place on June 15, hoping that the new hire orientation will go smoothly and that he will have all the new hires working by July. On May 15th, Monica contacted Carl about the training schedule, orientation, manuals, policy booklets, physicals, drug tests.
Equality for All Maelani Roberto Comm 215 03 Feburary 2012 Brian Townsley, MPW Equality for All September 23, 2011, is a day I will remember forever. Not, because I said goodbye to my active duty military affiliation, but because it was the day congress finally passed the bill to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. For the past year attending all the sensitivity courses and all hands on deck meetings finally paid off. Especially for my fellow brothers and sisters in the military who had to hide who they truly are in fear of not being able to serve their country because of their sexual orientation. Now that the unconstitutional DADT has been repealed, the fight for equality in the U.S. Military is not over.
It was delicious. My Family and I rode on rides like Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Thunder Mountain Railroad. Finally, it was time for the laser light show. All of the Disney characters participated in a parade through the streets as the closing ceremony for that day was beginning. The next morning we awoke early to escape the long lines of people at Epcot.
