Combat Leadership vs. Garrison Leadership MSG William J. Bullard United States Army Sergeants Major Academy, Class 64 SGM Stoeltje / CWO Cartier August 22, 2013 Over the past twenty-three years I have seen a huge swing of leadership types. I entered the U.S. Army in October 1989 and then there were very few combat veterans that were still in the ranks, you would have the occasional Vietnam veterans but overall about 75 to 80 percent of the Soldiers, NCOs and Officers had no combat experience at all. In 1990-1991 you had Desert Storm, shortly after that was concluded the Army started with reductions and all that experience left for the civilian sector and we basically started at square one. Until September 11th the concentration
While I agree with General Dempsey’s view on how to form the Army into a “Profession of Arms,” I don’t think today’s Army is quite there yet. I think The Army is going in the right direction but it will take time to change the culture. We need to understand that it is virtually impossible for all Soldiers to be professionals based on experience and expertise alone. We need to understand that not all Soldiers join today for honor, tradition, and/or wanting to be a part of a team. Soldiers are joining the military more and more to have a secure job with benefits for themselves and their family members.
The reading, “The Biggest Decision: Why We Had to Drop the Bomb,” by Robert James Maddox, explains the process taken in for the Americas to decide to drop the two newly discovered atomic bombs over the Japanese homeland cities of Hiroshima and three days later Nagasaki. Americans should be well informed on this information. This is a perfect article for this class because it marks a very important milestone in our nation’s history. The Japanese were a strong powerful enemy of the US during the end of WWII. “The Japanese had more than 2,000,000 troops in the home lands, and were training millions of irregulars” pg.
1.05 DBA Tell me about your service learning project. What did you decide to do for that? Please recall the pathways to citizenship. In other words, what are the steps needed for an immigrant to become a US citizen? You must become 18 and have been a US resident 5 years or 3 if married and pay a fee, then give fingerprints and pay for the service, next you have to answer questions on your background and on US history in english, finally you have to swear an oath of loyalty Generalize why citizenship participation is so important in the American political system?
It would definitely lower wrongdoing, expand development, make individuals more astute, fit, and more thankful. Despite the fact that, there would need to be exemptions for those with handicaps or the individuals who are excessively overweight. Some people think that military service should be mandatory and almost as many people believe that it shouldn’t be. People should be required to serve in a branch of the military once they turn 18 if they are not going to college. Because being in the military instills morals, organizational skills, and physical fitness that wouldn’t be learned by not bettering yourself in a school of higher learning, the military also makes a person a contributing productive member of society, and the military stimulates the economy by not having as many people on government assistance.

They had tightened their requirements because careers like doctors, lawyers, and engineers did as well. They wanted to improve the teaching department by only hiring the best of the best. “And the increased years in teacher education furthered the socialization of prospective teachers into the occupational identity that was promoted by school administrators.” (Rousmaniere, 34) Teachers were paid more than nurses and clerical jobs. They also had equal pay with the males workers and were also promised their jobs after marriage and childbirth. Even though teaching was one of the highest paying jobs at the time, they wanted a certain type of class.
Less than 25 percent of the average daily population of sentenced offenders is incarcerated; the majority are supervised in the community. For the past 20 years, Connecticut's prisons have operated at or over capacity despite the addition of thousands of new beds since 1990 and a steady 10-year decrease in crime and arrest rates. Department of Correction lacks both a sufficient number of beds to house total inmate population and an adequate system of high security beds to manage high-risk population. Correctional system is hampered by inaccurate population projections and lack of a needs analysis of total offender population, but in particular of the inmate population. The number of inmates released early from prison to community supervision or parole has dramatically decreased.

"I'm a split personality on it (lowering the drinking age). I'm more in the camp that thinks we need a national debate on this. But there are a whole range of issues worth noting. Eighteen-year-olds can run for public office, vote, serve in the military and get married.
Why One Years’ Service should be Mandatory Steven Wunderlin Grantham University Mr. Timothy Goss English Composition 6/7/2011 Why One Years’ Service should be Mandatory Because serving in the military is important for the defense of the United States, and military service instills ideals like integrity, selfless service and honor, the United States government should require all high school graduates to enlist for at least one year in the United States military. In this essay I intend to prove that one year’s active duty service the U.S. military is what every high school graduate needs to begin their working career. Many might argue that this action is unnecessary since we have what is called the Selective Service Act. This act requires that all eighteen year old males register with the government in case of an emergency that would require more manpower than our current military can provide. I believe that this act should be repealed and replaced with a law that requires all high school graduates whether they are male or female enlist for at least one year in the active duty military.
