Letter To A Military Trainer
Hello Mother, military camp is going just fine. The trainer I have is great and has enforced the rules well and clearly. I am taught to withstand pain, answer in a few words, only speak when I am spoken to, respect elders, obey orders, and eat little. We also can steal food, but if caught then we will be wipped. We play games at camp too. You are allowed to bite, punch, and kick. Not all the games we play are rough as that though. If we give up and run then were called coward and we would get in trouble. The sleeping brackets are not as comfy as the ones at home, but I’ll live. They send us one at a time into the woods to live without food. I would have to scavenge or steal. Well, nothing else is new around here.
How is it going

It specialized in fitness, hand to hand combat ( the silent kill )map reading, secret writing, explosives, security and of course intelligence. After someone left the camp they could kill someone in 15 seconds with their bare harsh hands.Camp X made sure that they had courses in all aspects for cadets to reach full potential and they surely did.…

    The goal of this memo is to persuade high school senior, Micah Jackson to join the marines. Former President Ronald Reagan once said "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem." I briefly spoke to Micah over the phone and set up an interview to come in my office to talk about joining the marines. Micah was very skeptical, however, he did tell me about a few things that were important to him. He also told me about some things that he thought he needed for him to be successful in life. He told me that he wanted to be physically fit, he wanted to travel and he wanted to have financial security and benefits.…

    Soldiers Letter

    It’s inevitable that this must be hard on you, considering you don’t support my decision to join the war, but I’ll have you know that this dreadful place has me missing you all that much more. The fact that you are trying to understand, while being a French Canadian, really shows what an inspirational women you truly are. My passionate tie to Britain persuaded me to join the war, and there was no way I could pass up the opportunity to show my appreciation for our mother country. Training camp in Val Cartier was nothing I was prepared for. The British had high expectations for us Canadian Soldiers, expectations that we weren’t able to live up to while entering the training camp. None of us had much training or experience, this forced Britain to crack the whip and become very strict. Our training was very unusual and unexpected; we seemed to do a lot of aerobic-like exercises that took all of us by surprise. We have just conquered Vimy Ridge. This is the first battle that we have been able to act together. It is truly a defining moment for our country, we are finally able to rise from the shadows of Britain and realize the greatness we are capable of achieving. We were given a new Canadian Corps commander named Sir William Byng; he has done a miraculous job helping us capture this difficult position by carefully planning and rehearsing the attack. Although there was nearly ten thousand men killed and wounded, it was worth is to capture the land where there is no such thing as a surprise attack. There is no way to describe to you what it’s like here. I wake up from nightmares relieved that it’s over, until I finally realize that reality is much worse. There is no feeling insurmountable to those I’ve faced. The only thing keeping me going is the thought of home. You’d expect the battle field to be where the real horror is, but there is nothing…

    I am a “boot” adjusting to my new life in kilo company, and corporal has recently returned from a nasty deployment in iraq. He says that he is my father and that he knows what’s best. he kicks sand at me while i am timed to see how fast i can pick up all the yellow cigarette butts he dumped on the floor to “fix” my attention to detail and remind me of my ignorance, as he yells, “you are going to war soon, and I won’t be there to babysit you!” During the deployment workups in the states, we spent weeks patrolling, looking for something that we knew wasn’t real. Digging into defensive positions and waiting the night out for an enemy we knew would never come. Spending rainy nights in muddy holes, fearing what our leaders might do to us if we fell asleep. Firing machine guns, shooting rifles and launching grenades at little green targets…. All of it was just training ops.…

    Marine Corps Counseling

    • 818 Words
    • 4 Pages

    As Marines we have many traditions that we continue to pass on through the ranks. They define who we are as an organization and they set us apart from the other branches. One of the biggest traditions we have trouble continuing is formally counseling our Marines’ on the negative or positive things that they do even though there is a Marine Corps Order (MCO) that tells us how and when to conduct counseling’s. I feel that this is one of the traditions that should be practiced more within my unit. To promote continuous counseling of Marines I would hold professional military education (PME) classes, ensure that all counseling’s are being conducted with the guidance of MCO 1610.12, and to hold practical application events with the Marines in my…

    My Mentor Reflection

    I still remember the first step I took on the gravel road, wide-eyed and wary. Of the entirety of my 12 years on this earth, I was going to be away from my friends and family for the first time. When I told my friends I was going away to Camp Speers for a week they all had similar reactions, usually along the lines of “You mean that place we visited in 6th grade with the powdered eggs?” Most confused on why I would choose to spend a week of my summer getting eaten by mosquitos and away from the comfort of dramatic TV shows and a computer mouse. These concerns clouded my mind as I walked through the door of Cabin 9, only to be cleared away by the warm greeting of my new cabin-mates and counselor. As the week went on, I learned a variety of…
