Personal Narrative: Why I Volunteer In The Military

I have told everyone growing up that I knew wanted to be a soldier in the Army one day. They all said that I wanted to be just like my dad but I have always felt it was something I just wanted to do for myself. Going on tours of training sites as a kid only fueled my passion for becoming a soldier, and serving in the Army. When I was17 years old I went to basic training on a split option program

Joining the military isn’t all about wanting to carry a weapon or looking good in a uniform it’s about everyone doing their job to their best trained abilities. There are many reasons for joining the armed forces. Protection of the country, loved ones, and rights of the citizens are all included. Some have never been a part of something bigger than themselves and it’s great for

There are a lot of graduates fresh out of high schools that make the decision to use the military. There are some people that join the military because that is a fast and easy choice for them. The military gives everyone a wide variety of options. College for instance, the military allows you to serve your country and still have time to attend college and get a degree if you choose to do that. People that choose to join the military get the option to go to college anytime they feel during their military career. The military pays for part or all the tuition. The military has four different branches, Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines. Each branch offers different trades. Air Force for example, teaches people to fly, have mechanical skills,

My name is Johan Garel, MSCMSc, I am a physician assistant and I want to serve my country. As prior military, I have firsthand experience of serving my country. Honor, respect, dependability, hard work, and responsibility are a few of the attributes I honed while serving. The United States Navy will definitely provide me ample opportunity to grow in these area and lead.

The Army has given me a great life thus far with many outstanding opportunities over the

Growing up I always had an admiration of the military and all the stories that went along with it. In grade school learning just briefly about the wars that happened in our past and ones that were going on in present day time. Watching tragedy’s happen right in front of me on live television and seeing our military take action in no time at all. To being in high school and doing in depth research papers about wars, that opened my eyes so much more to what really happened. I have always had an eye for the military and what goes on inside, where no one else can see.

Although my military service was brief, it was impactful and changed the trajectory of my life for the better. It enlightened me to a multitude of issues affecting people across the globe and in our nation. I witnessed the caliber of

I served in the United States Army for almost seven years. I loved every minute of it. Well, I might not have enjoyed every minute, but I enjoyed the majority of my time served. The knowledge, insight, training, education and experience

I recall the very day I decided to join the military. As I sat in keyboard class, the teacher turn on the television. The news was on with a live broadcast of the Twin towers located in New York. Smoke was coming from one of the towers. Seeing this major event happen caused everyone in my class to talk. Some of my classmates started screaming and crying when the plane hit the other tower. School was released early because of the amount of students who had relatives that worked in the twin towers. Seeing all of my classmates and the other kids at my school crying caused something inside me to want to make a difference and fight for my country. Without doing any research of my own about the different branches of the military, I chose to join the Army. On the way home, I went to the nearest recruiting office and that became the beginning of my military career.

I am going to be in the military when I get older. I will be in the marine corps. And being in the military will give me free food and money very month. My dad was in the marine corps and I thought it would be fun to go into war. My mom is in the army

I choose this career because I’m really not a school person and I don’t want to go to college. This job career is appealing to me because I want to serve for our country and so our citizens can live a better life style. I choose this career because I’ve always to wear the uniform and shoot guns and fly in plans. When i was little my grandfather was in the military and when he came home from work, I would tell him I wanted to be just like him, and till this day I still would like to join the Military.

Military service, to me, means to give my all in the fight for freedom and equality. Every task must be completed with full ability and effort. Furthermore, military service means not just serving to protect one’s own family and friends, but each of their friends and family as well. Military service is a selfless act, protecting all Americans, while at the same time, serving to propel and maintain America as the world superpower it

Since I am considering a route similar to his, he tells me of all the ups and downs of his job to inform me better if what it is like to be an officer. Also a couple friends from church was former Air Force from the 60’s and 70’s and it is interesting to hear what has changed from the time that they served, to what the military is like today. Having more than just one perspective has allowed me to make a more informed choice on not only where to enlist, but also what jobs to sign up for and some of the benefits of being in the military; regardless of the branch one

I enlisted in the war, blindly, to serve my country. My friend Mark and I decided this because we both felt that we needed accomplishment. At the time, enlisting in the war seemed like the best option. The only exclusion to this, we were unaware of the horrors and gruesome sights that happen day by day. Except none would amount to the loss of a longtime friend.

I first started serving four years ago when I was 13. I was nervous I was going to make the wrong choice and let it affect someone it didn’t involve. Some of my greatest accomplishments I have achieved such as baptizing a first grader and helping guide kids through their everyday problems have always been at the end of my comfort zone. Taking the chance to lead others has benefited me in more ways than I thought was possible. It has taught
