I believe that one, no matter what happens, should always have hope. It all started with my dad's friend Nick, saying that they should apply for Sheridan Police. My dad and Nick spent hours and hours trying to fill out the application. Finally Police station had got it in, they said that is would take a month or two to figure it out. So we waited and waited, my dad every day would check his phone waiting for the call. Until finally they said they wanted a interview. He got dressed up in his nicest clothes, and he went into the interview and they said that they were going to need more time to think. 20 days later. They called and they said that they would not be needing him and the department. My dad was so determined to get this job that he applied again but to the Sheriff's Office. So he filled out another application and turned it in. A few months later they called and said that they wanted an interview. So he got dressed up and headed out. When he got home he said they told him that we would know in a few weeks. And then has we were all coming home from school and work my dad got a call, he stepped outside and talked for an hour. …show more content…

After a year he decided that he wanted to get the job on the road. He filled out an application and they said that they needed some
The first week at his military school, Wes tried several times to went home. He had access to do a phone call to whoever he wanted to talk, if he would be able to convince that person in five minutes, then he could go back to home. On the phone his mother said, “Wes you don’t go anywhere until you give this place a try” (Moore 95). Wes wasn’t persuaded at first, but the words his mother told him must have stuck. He started doing better in school because he realized what his family has sacrificed in order for him to be there. Gradually, he became sergeant of platoon, a cadet master sergeant, and the youngest senior noncommissioned officer in the entire corps. Even though he was forced to stay in military school; slowly he changed his outlook in military school.
The Officer in Charge of the NSW Police, Inspector General John McLerie oversaw and controlled all aspects of policing in NSW. The Telegraph line was McLerie's umbilical cord to his far-flung officers and all reports of crime were to pass through his office before their publication in the NSW Police Gazette, which was printed in Sydney then dispatched to the Officers in Charge of the various police districts and then disseminated to all the outlying police stations, therefore a crime committed in one particular police district on one particular day along with the relevant report and the description of the crime and the offender were telegraphed to Sydney, the information may take as much as two weeks to be relayed via the Gazette before it
Before the narrator was deployed his mother told him that no matter what happened, he that must always look after his brother. Then she proceeded to tell him a story about his father and his father’s brother. She said that one Saturday night his father and his father’s brother were coming home and they were both a little drunk. They were headed down a hill and beneath them was a road that turned off from the highway. So, his father’s brother, being kind of frisky, decided to run down this hill. Then his father heard a car motor not too far away, and that same moment, his brother stepped from behind the tree and started to cross the road. So, his father started to run down the hill and when he looked at the car he noticed that it was full of drunken white men looking to have a good time. When the men saw his father’s brother they let out great whoops and hollers and aimed the car at his father’s brother, running him over. So, as a result of hearing that story the narrator promised to his mother that he would always look after his brother and the narrator kept his promise, but in the end he just pushed his brother further and further

I immediately decided to enlist in the United States Navy.

He loved being in the army because he was able to protect and defend his country.

Throughout the story of this one deployment, there are parts where the author talks about his early life as well as some parts of his earlier days in the Army. The author puts these Stories in to the book in an intriguing way to help explain why and how the author ended up where he did.
As the plane lands in Atlanta, Georgia two hundred others and I are escorted by Drill Sergeants to the buses. Several hours go by and finally I arrive at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. I glance at my watch, it’s three o’clock in the morning. The Drill Sergeants are screaming “MOVE PRIVATES! WE DON’T HAVE ALL DAY!” I run as fast as I can to formation just to stand at the position of attention for three hours. The morning sun is beating me in the face and the Drill Sergeants are still yelling.
When people think of the military, they often think about the time they spend over in another country, hoping they make it back alive. No one has ever considered the possibility that they may have died inside. Soldiers are reborn through war, often seeing through the eyes of someone else. In “Soldier’s home” by Ernest Hemingway, the author illustrates how a person who has been through war can change dramatically if enough time has passed. This story tells of a man named Harold (nick name: Krebs) who joined the marines and has finally come back after two years. Krebs is a lost man who feels it’s too complicated to adjust to the normal way of living and is pressured by his parents.
As I returned the roller with Bernie we heard the bell ring. Only six more hours and we are done for the day. I headed to my next station to see that someone had taken my position. I figured that as long as someone was there I could go off on my own. I quickly rushed to the postal stand and grabbed paper and a pencil. I scurried back to the room with caution so that none of the soldier suspected anything. I sat down on my bed and began
What I think I got out of this ordeal is that Hope is a pleasant thing it, but it hides tyrannical nature under its facade of pure good. It's not something to be condemned, but it's something that needs to be regulated and rationalized. Given free reign it can show you what you want to see, not what you need to see, and it makes improbable excuses for failure and thus encourages you to reject your mistakes rather than learn from them, and it can try to guide you along a path of convolution to a destination that doesn't exist. You need to be able to align it with rationale of the actual situation, because otherwise you end up seeing the world through skewed perspective, a perspective where you happiness lies on one thing, and that leaves you imbalanced. Sometimes that balance takes some time to find, and it can be frustrating realizing that you need to re-evaluate, but it's worth it once you get there, because in the end you find yourself in a far better place than wherever you were holding yourself
Going through an era when the Vietnam War was a smash hit in your town, many high school senior boys would be drafted out if their number was on the list of people. The men drafted had to leave behind their families and aspirations. Tim O’Brien uses different perspectives in The Things They Carried to show if something tragic happens in life, consequently dealing with it may be hard. Moving on will help in the future.
Over the past twelve months, there has been a number of incidents that have tarnished the image of the RNC. The job of the police is to keep the public safe and many people that officers encounter are partaking in illegal activities that the individual has to be punished for in hopes that they will learn their wrongdoings and change their way of life. However, many of these people like to participate in illegal activities and for some it's all that they know. Anybody can file a complaint about a police officer's behaviour, attitude or action, and many people do usually in hopes of getting revenge on the police officer for catching them engaging in prohibited activity.
