...September 11, 2013 By Timothy Hale, U.S. Army Reserve Command Chief Warrant Officer 5 Phyllis J. Wilson, the U.S. Army Reserve command chief warrant officer, shared what she sees as the top five qualities: strong character, strong leadership skills, technical savvy, across the board competence, and the capacity to be a counselor, adviser and mentor. "We want some of the best NCOs to come into the Army warrant officer corps," Wilson said. "You've got to be extremely good at your skill set: being a strong leader and knowing your technical skills so you can advise -- the same things that the rest of the Army leadership talks about." She said the competence a warrant officer must have is not only the technical aspect of their MOS, but also tactical competence. "Character -- that's not exchangeable for anything else," Wilson said. The path to becoming a warrant officer is not unlike the enlisted or officer career track. Once recruited, warrant officer candidates attend the five-week Warrant Officer Candidate School, known as WOCS, at Fort Rucker, Ala. "It's a very vigorous course of training," Peak said. "The course is designed for the cadre to evaluate the candidates' skills, qualities, and traits to ensure they are commensurate to what the Army expects of a warrant officer one." He said that individual skills and leadership capabilities are tested along with transition training from being enlisted to officer. * Copyright © 2013 TheHuffingtonPost.com, Inc...

Historical basis: The two-party system is rooted in the beginnings of the U.S., when the ratification of the Constitution gave rise to the first two parties. Tradition: Most Americans accept the idea of a two-party system simply because there has always been one. Electoral system: Since only one winner per office comes out of each election, voters have only two viable choices—the candidate of the party holding office or the candidate with the best chance of replacing the current officeholder. Voters tend to think of a vote for a minor party candidate as a wasted vote. Republicans and Democrats work together in a bipartisan way to write election laws to make...

Lesson Plan #4: How Do You Pay? The Evolution of Money Instructor’s Note: The first five lesson plans (#1a through #1e) are designed as a modular set to be used together. They consist of a series of discussions covering various parts of the video. You may use them in several ways. One is to alternate between discussions and watching segments of the video. There are three pause points on the video. The discussions are designed to fit with these points. The first lesson (#1a) fits before the video begins; lessons #1b through #1d fit well at the three pause points; and the final one (#1e) fits best at the end of the video segment. Alternatively, the video can be viewed without interruption and the discussions divided between topics to be discussed before and after viewing. No continuity will be lost if some discussions are skipped. Because much of this material may be unfamiliar to teachers, each of the lessons has an extended presentation of background information for teachers. This information, along with additional materials from the references cited in the section called “For More Information,” should help you to be an informed discussion leader. Lesson Plan #1a:...
