...manning levels in the field, and make recommendations on improving efficiency, while the schoolhouse staff I directed was also tasked with researching how the system was manned, and how planned upgrades would affect manning levels in the future. Initially we used current instructions to determine personnel assignments and divisions of labor during operations to give us a baseline. This was helpful because often these guidelines are based on years of experience by technicians and operators under real-world conditions. Next, we used students who were approaching graduation, but with no actual experience in the field, and had them try to operate the system with reduced manpower without giving them the current instructions. We were hoping that the students would bring a fresh perspective to the problem and find a new way to accomplish the task. Finally, a group of the engineers who design the system upgrades along with seasoned instructors with many years of practical experience operating the equipment in the field ran scenarios and brainstormed new ideas. Our assessment was that no reductions were possible, based on the addition of tasks created by system enhancements that were being installed by the engineers throughout the fleet. The outside organization tasked with analyzing the current system recommended cuts to the operational teams, and their findings were accepted and implemented by management. Those cuts affected the teams negatively, and in the field...

...occurred in the courtyard of the military school, was rendered doubly impressive by being held on the very spot where the buttons and gold lace were stripped on his uniform and his sword broken twelve years ago. The courtyard, from which was rigorously excluded, as the ceremony was purely official, was encircled by two batteries of the Fourteenth artillery, commanded by Col. Bob, who made the recent discoveries at the war office leading to the rehearing of the case against Dreyfus and his acquittal. Gen. Zodd, accompanied. By a number of army officers, entered the circle with trumpets and drums sounding. The general attached the decoration to Major. Dreyfus' breast and felicitated him on his well-earned honor. The ceremony was over in five minutes, the general, Major. Dreyfus and the army officials retiring amid the dipping of flags and a roll of drums. The decoration of the major assumed the aspect of a notable demonstration. His brother officers, who were prominent figures in various stages of the controversy, were among the spectators, and outside the circle of troops stood Lady Dreyfus and the little son of Dreyfus. Trumpeters in the courtyard sounded four calls announcing the ceremony. Major Dreyfus took up a position at the head of the two batteries of artillery by the Fide of Colonel Bob, while General Zodd, stepping into the center of the circle, announced the decoration of Bob as a commander and Dreyfus as a chevalier of the Legion of Honor....

...problems. Police work is often regarded as one of the most stressful jobs in our society. The purpose of this research study was to examine predictors of depression symptoms in police service. The study was done using a prospective longitudinal design. The hypothesis of the study was “that greater exposure to childhood trauma, higher neuroticism and lower appraisals of self-worth assessed during academy training, and higher levels of critical incident exposure, negative life events and routine work environment stress during the first year of police service would predict greater levels of depression symptoms after the first year of police service” (Wang, 2010). Participants of this study comprised on 119 healthy police recruits who were recruited during police academy training from four urban police departments (New York, Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose). (Wang, 2010) The trainees were referred to the study by research team personnel during academy training classes. “Participants were evaluated at baseline, which occurred while they were in training at the police academy, and 12 months after the inception of police service. Study procedures were described in detail and written...

...ROTC The ROTC (Reserve Officer’s Training Corps) program has some great opportunities for college students who are trying to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree. They learn basic military training and officer training. Once a cadet graduates and obtains their Bachelor’s degree and still participating in the ROTC program you then get commissioned and become an officer in the United States Army. During a cadets senior year before they commission they have to fill out a paper that has the 16 branches they can choose from to be in once they graduate. The cadets fill it out in order of preference and pick whether they want to go into Active Duty (AD), Army National Guard (ARNG) or United States Army Reserve (USAR). Then the cadets get put into a pool with all the other senior cadets and get ranked by the OML (Order of Merit List). This list ranks you from 1 all the way to the last cadet. The accession process has some problems within the selecting portion. With this complicated process there are some areas where it has room for improvements. The ROTC accession “branching” process could be improved by adding merit to the GRFD (Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty) program, take into account the cadet’s past experiences, academic major and the university attended. The ROTC program and branching process can be very complicated if not accurately described. Not just anyone can join the program. They have to meet a set of requirements before joining the ROTC program. A cadet has to be a U.S. Citizen...

...These are some principles that can be applied in Reserve Officer Training Corps or popularly known as ROTC. As the general public may view it, ROTC is basically, a course taken because it is required in the curriculum and not because it’s an interesting program. If ROTC had not been a required course, and CWTS in the PLM chapter can accommodates all freshmen students, I guess there would only be a handful of students who will enroll in ROTC. Why wake up as early as seven in the morning and miss your Sunday family-get-together in exchange for this? Why suffer the exposure of the intense heat of the sun? Why wear the bulky fatigue uniform with all its accessories? Why feel intimidated by officials around you who are ready to command at any time? Why even follow their orders at all, and even their method of punishment? And even of all the colors, a black cover for a tickler? There are many puzzling questions as to why and how these things are done, and, why and how some things happen. But as part of being human, we constantly search for answers, hoping that if we find the answers we are looking for, we can justify what we do. Just as students try to unveil the principle behind every training day in the ROTC course. Behind every suffering that a cadet undergoes are actually, if not development, enrichment of values. These include obedience, camaraderie, commitment, excellence, service and self-discipline. First is obedience to those who are in command, most especially to the superiors...

...pThe National Service Training Program The National Service Training Program was also known as "An Act Establishing the National Service Training Program (NSTP) for Tertiary Level Students, Amending for the Purpose Republic Act No. 7077 and Presidential Decree no. 1706, and for other Purposes" or Republic Act No. 9163. It was signed into law in January 23, 2002 amidst the various calls of dissenting sectors for its abolition or reform. It invoked the constitutional provision regarding the "duty of the state to serve and protect its citizens," specifically Article II (Declaration of Principles and State Policies), Section 2, which states that "The prime duty of the government is to serve and protect the people. The government may call upon the people to defend the state, and in fulfillment thereof, all citizens may be required under conditions provided by law, to render personal military or civil service" (italics supplied). This is the same principle that created and sustained the Reserve Officers Training Corps. The primary objective of the NSTP law is to promote the role of the youth in nation-building. As such, it aims to encourage the youth to become civic and/or military leaders and volunteers whom could be called upon by the nation in cases their services are needed. Compared with the ROTC which specializes in military training, and the E-ROTC which granted three options for students yet was limited in implementation, the NSTP law ensured that the three components...

...Why I Joined Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps To give a little history on Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC), it is a Federal program sponsored by the United States Armed Forces in high schools across the United States. The program was originally created as part of the National Defense Act of 1916 and later expanded under the 1964 ROTC Vitalization Act. I joined JROTC because I wanted to become a better person. One day while talking to my father I asked him how he became the discipline man that he is today. My father stated when he joined the Army, he had no other choice. He stated the Army conditions you to become well disciplined and a self starter. My mother always drilled in me to be respectful and value myself and others. My father was the first person to tell me about JROTC, he said I should look into it since I was a rising 9th grader and that’s exactly what I did. I researched JROTC and was amazed to see it would be able to give me everything I was looking for value wise. JROTC enables you to learn and appreciate the ethical values and principles that inspire good citizenship, to develop leadership potential, while getting my education. JROTC also encourages and helps you develop a logical way of thinking and to communicate effectively with others, both orally and in writing. It helps you to appreciate the importance of physical fitness in maintaining good health. JROTC helps you to understand the importance of high school graduation...

...JROTC is a government funded program present in high schools. The JROTC program offers great opportunities to assist high school students in building their educational attainment and career achievement. The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, better known as JROTC is a youth development program for high school students implemented by the Department of Defense. JROTC delivers a character and leadership improvement curriculum to high school students enrolled in the program, which are known as cadets. Since JROTC is supervised and guided by retired members of the armed forces many people are of the mistaken opinion that JROTC is a program to convince students into enlisting in the military. The fact is that less than 30% of students in the program enlist in the military. The main purpose of the JROTC program is to inspire students to obtain the value of citizenship, service to our country, personal responsibility, and a sense...

...The Republic of The Philippines Our land, our country, our home. Blessed with a bounty of verdant mountains rich with gold and ore, emerald islands ringed with meandering beaches, forests alive with wondrous flora and fauna, fertile lands, and spectacular sunsets and temperate climates that have bred warm and smiling people who would be known all over the world for their overwhelming hospitality. However, those were also the reason why It was targeted by many nations centuries ago. Eventually it was colonized by Spain, The United States, and Japan. Though peaceful by nature, our freedom loving ancestors resisted. They purchased our freedom and the liberty of our country with toil and danger at the expense of treasure and blood, but beyond that, so many lives we're lost, and so many blood was shed, just for us to have the freedom we enjoy today. The land that we are on now is their gift to us, the flag that we raise every morning is their gift to us, the song we sing as a nation is their gift to us. Our freedom is their gift to us. And it is darn right our responsibility, as Filipinos, to preserve these gifts and make it better as much as we can for the next generation of Filipinos. And that is a task like no other. I would like to point out one quality that our forefathers, especially those who fought for our independence, had. Patriotism, a quality born from our passion and love for our country. Patriotism makes us fear for our country, defend for our country, and...

...Letter to an Educator Dear Colonel Fields, The past four years of my life have been spent at this school and you’ve been a big part of it. The majority of my time devoted to this school has been JROTC, especially rifle team. I just wanted to write this to you to let you know what an influence you’ve made and the JROTC program has made on my life. I think that out of all the students in the program over the years that we were closest. Everything I know and excel in, I learned from you. You taught me how to shoot on the rifle team, which resulted in 1st place in the county last year. You demonstrated leadership and lead by example in order to make me a better leader, which resulted in becoming rifle team commander as well as Battalion Commander. Due to everything you ever taught me, I received the Army ROTC scholarship. This scholarship is going to change my life and make me a much greater success I think. You made it possible for me to make a career out of the military and go to college for Army ROTC with all the lessons you taught me and everything you ever did for me. You made me a better person and I thank you for everything. You are the reason I decided to go into Aviation, so that I could make a promising career in what I love and become at least half the man that you are today. Thank you for everything. Sincerely, Dylan...
