Explain Why I Want To Be A Marine

My reasons for wanting to attend a service academy are opportunity and service. Attending a service academy is an honor not experienced by many. I see the United States Naval Academy as a world of opportunity. Since I was younger, I have had a desire to protect and serve. I didn’t know about the Naval Academy until just a couple years ago, so I had my heart set on becoming a police officer. Becoming a police officer meant that I could protect and serve my community, but becoming a Naval Officer means that I can protect and serve the entire United States. If I become a student of the United States Naval Academy, I would be fully prepared to serve my country and then when my time has been served, whether it be five years or twenty years, I would

The Academy offers studies in International law and customs, personal management, marine navigation, and marine engineering along with the various other jobs and majors that account in running a large ship.

My whole world changed since, and shaped my way of thinking. From learning English, adjusting to a new culture, experiencing my first snow and finding my way in my new country, my life has been an exciting adventure.

I graduated from high school in 2013, and attended James Madison University from August 2013 to December 2014. I began having health problems during the 2014 fall semester and when the semester ended I withdrew from the classes I had taken and returned home on a medical leave of absence. When I returned home, I spent the spring semester focusing on my health so that I would be able to get better and return to JMU. After taking the spring semester off, I decided to work at a landscaping company to help give me something to focus on again. When that went smoothly, I signed up for one summer class at my local community college. I enjoyed being able to take a class again, and received an “A”. I knew I was ready to continue pursuing my degree, but wanted to remain close to home while I continued to recover

I Recruit Luciano was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York on November 4th 1983. I am currently 33 years of age. I am the youngest and only male out of three children. My father was born in Puerto Rico and my mother was born in Manhattan, but she is also of Puerto Rican decent. At the age of thirteen, my parents moved us to New Jersey. This was to steer us away from all the negativity and bad habits that my cousins where involved in. At seventeen, with my parent’s permission, I enlisted into the United States Marine Corps.

My motivation for seeking admittance to the U.S. Military Academy started in my early childhood. When I was a child I said I wanted to be a soldier and serve my country in the most honorable way possible. To this day that has not changed. The military always fascinated me. In my childhood I would watch military documentaries over cartoons. They still continue to intrigue me. Going into high school I considered the different branches of the armed forces. I decided the Army was the best fit for me and that becoming an active duty officer will be the best path to take to make the Army a career. In my junior year of high school that plan changed slightly. When I turned seventeen I decided to enlist in the Army reserves through the split option. This allowed me to

There hasn’t been some an event that I consider special but I’ll hope that will change in the last 2 years of high school. However, 3 eventful things have happened like in the last school year I met Maria Camila Rodriguez but out of kindness we call her “The Rich Girl.” A party for my fifteenth birthday was celebrated in the ninth grade as well and my newest friend is Leah Duboy, a new student at the school. Whom, I hope make memories with. After high school I hope to go Miami-Dade College to a few Associates’ Degree and then to Barry University for a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in English Literature to become a

I am always in the Marine Corps JROTC room and it just so happens that inside of there we have air rifles which I would use it to maneuver down the hall to the cafeteria. I would also make sure I bring a couple of kids with me so that we could bring some bins to the cafeteria. I would carefully and quietly enter the cafeteria, ensuring that I do not disturb any of those zombie cafeteria ladies. If I do, I will have my air rifle handy. I would swiftly make my way into the back where all of the food, snacks, and ice. With the bins that we brought, we would be able to fill each up with snacks, food, and ice that will turn into water so that we could survive on that as long as possible and trust me, there is a ton a food back there. Then, I would

Ever since I can remember, I have always felt a calling to serve my country. One of the reasons for my calling of service has been the influence of my family throughout my childhood. My father was a lieutenant in the Army National Guard prior to being injured and placed a high importance on honor and commitment. In addition, one of my Great Grandfathers was a Marine Captain in the Pacific Theatre during WWII and my other Great Grandfather was seriously injured during the Battle of Guam. As a child, I looked up to my dad and grandparents because I knew that they had taken a stand to protect our country.

Volunteering at the VA is one of the best choices that I have ever made. I have met so many amazing people and have learned many new things by giving back to our veterans. My transition from just starting to now has been a great one and I am grateful for all the people who helped get me here. Volunteering here has taught me more people skills, how to work together with others, and how good it felt to help others.

Throughout my childhood and adolescent years, I always had a dream of joining the military. Though it was a choice, I still did not have any inside information of what it would be like, and the requirements and specifics of the Army. It wasn't until 2005 when I decided to join the United States Army that all my concerns and questions were answered by a recruit; and I was guided through the whole process to enter and prep for the Army. If it was not for the confidences and motivation of my recruiter back in 2005, I might have not made my leap and probably would not be in this uniform today.

In one person’s life, there can be many changes. Some of them are small and do not have a very big effect on your life. However, other events are very important and can completely change a person’s life, such as moving to a new country, joining the military, getting married, or buying a house. Two of the events that have changed my life the most was moving to the United States and the joining the military. When I first arrived in the United States, I was only twelve years old.
