I SrA Dofonso Fernando am writing this letter on behalf of my family and myself. I believe I would benefit from a humanitarian reassignment. I am applying for reassignment to Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, Nevada due to financial, emotional, and health circumstances. This reassignment would benefit the military and I as I could focus on my health and my family’s health, organize finances and have the ability to provide for my family if I was not geographically separated. The financial burden of maintaining a household in both Hawaii and Nevada, due to our physical separation at this time, is also a hardship on our marriage and ability to exist as a family. My original tour was an accompanied tour for four years and my current DEROS is September 3rd, …show more content…
I believe these symptoms would be managed once I am reunited with my family and focused on serving out my military obligation. A reassignment would benefit both the military and my family as I would be able to concentrate my energy towards the mission and not solely on my personal life and the hardships of my family. If I was able to be reassigned to Nellis AFB, I could more sufficiently tend to my family and could focus on being there for my wife, unborn child, and toddler son, as this is an issue I struggle with daily and finding it hard to focus on daily task. My wife is also requiring a cesarean for the birth of our child. Katherine will be unable to care for our toddler and our newborn after she gives birth and the extra added expenses of a newborn would also pose a threat with 2 households. I only ask you to consider allowing me to continue my Air Force career being able to take care of my responsibilities. Thank you for your time and consideration in this serious and meaningful
Former US Army four-star General Bryan Douglas Brown deserves to have his face on a postage stamp. He started from humble beginnings , and joined our Army as a private. During his 40 years of service to our nation, he rose to be a four-star general and much more. He has fought valiantly in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. General Brown commanded the elite US Special Operations command.
On December 7th, 1941 Marine Sgt Richard I. Fiske was following his routine as he always did aboard the USS West Virginia which was moored in Pearl Harbor Hawaii. Sergeant Fiske was the Bugler for the ship. He was waiting on the bridge of the ship about to play the “colors” which is the call to render honor to the nation.

The fiction story that I wrote about was titled, “The Rebirth of an American Solider. The basis of this story was about a solider and how he was able to transition from his secondary position with the Army, right into being a well awarded sniper. The idea that I used for this story was two folded, first off at the University of Akron where I attended classes before transferring to Cuyahoga Community College. I was enrolled in a pair of composition classes that were military based.
Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 is a law that provides benefits for veterans from World War 2. Those benefits include low cost mortgages, low interest loans to start a business, helped established hospitals, covered tuition and expenses for veterans that would attend any college or trade school. These benefits were available for every veteran that severed in the war. This law was important because it helped those veterans who severed for our nation and gave them benefits, which would help them succeed goals.

President Lincoln was elected in 1860, and his election marked the end of peace between the North and the South for almost two decades. Between 1860 and 1865 the blood of over half a million soldiers from both sides of the country would be shed, and from 1865 to 1877 countless others would die in the name of military reconstruction. However, military reconstruction and civil war are simply byproducts of social and constitutional developments that led up to the revolution. Constitutional and social developments between 1860 and 1877 only served to widen the schism between the North and the South, eventually leading to a revolution.

National Guard Recruiting Assistance Program Fraud and Abuse In 2005 the Recruiting Assistance Program was initiated to help the National Guard meet end strength requirements. Four years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq transformed the National Guard from a Strategic Reserve into an Operational Reserve and the National Guard was having a difficult time meeting end strength requirements due to operational tempo requirements and normal attrition from ETS and retirements. Being a member of the National Guard during this time I personally witnessed an increased number of ETS, retirements and transfers of Soldiers to the Army Reserves due to mobilizations or rumors of upcoming mobilizations between 2001 and 2006. The National Guard needing to fill shortages enlisted the help of a company named Document and Packaging Broker Inc. (Docupak, Inc.) who used a civilian based recruiting strategy to fill the
A major issue is mutiny in the army. On January 6th, soldiers seized Bouake, the country’s second largest city. Solders also kidnapped the minister of defense while disputing over their pay. Some 8,000 soldiers were promised $19,300 each in bonuses, but none of the money was paid. A negotiator said that the soldiers were scared that the government would go back on their bonuses.
The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act helped men and women who served in World War II to readjust to civilian life in 1994. The GI bill offered four major kinds of help: education and job training, guaranty of mortgage and business loans, unemployment allowances, including aid for the self employed, and job-finding assistance. However, The GI Bill not only helped the veterans, but was also good for the economy of the United States. One of the most important parts of the GI Bill was helping returning veterans continuing their high school or college education. The education of many veterans was interrupted when they were drafted into the war.
Imagine joining the military at a young age, preparing to see the world, make new friends, and form a bond that often rivals that of close siblings. Only to endure the unthinkable the unimaginable an attack not by a foreign enemy but at the hands of a fellow soldier or superior officer. This is the tragic truth for many soldiers, both men and women alike, it is not uncommon and it is an invisible wound that lasts long after the soldier returns to civilian life. This paper will reflect the importance of change within the Veterans Administration regarding Military Sexual Trauma. Ruth Moore, joined the military at the tender age of eighteen from a poor background expecting the military to help her pay for college.
The applicant did not properly annotate the enclosed application requesting a possible discharge upgrade. However, the Army Discharge Review Board considered, the applicant for a possible upgrade as instructed in pertinent part by Department of Defense Instruction 1332.28 which stipulates that a request for review from an applicant without an honorable discharge shall be treated as a request for a change to an honorable discharge unless the applicant requests a specific change to another character of discharge.

As a daughter of a United States Marine, I have a real-life perspective on veterans. I have deep respect for my father, and all veterans who have put their lives on the line for America. My heart really goes out to those soldiers fighting this very moment. My brother-in-law has an old high school friend that went into the National Guard. While this friend was away he encountered a form of great disrespect.
Another fact noted is, the U.S’s current economic status consists of many vets needing longer supports and services from counselors that extend beyond traditional periods.
