...for numerous amounts of television shows actually depict a lesson to lure in an audience. Take the television show Scrubs. Written and directed by Ryan Levin, this comical series about a well-renowned hospital and its staff depict the everyday lives of four different characters. In this comical show that allows four friends to comment on their everyday lives about being a doctor, resident intern, and surgeon. A story line based on the comical genius of the producers of both South Park and Weeds. Follow me as I analyze both the good and bad aspects of all four of the characters tell their sides of the story through each others lines. The storyline of many different television shows normally have exactly the same sequence of events. First, the scene is set in a hospital. But as many people do not know, Sacred Heart Hospital is no ordinary hospital. Here, everyone hates everyone in a sarcastic manner. All the employees hate the boss, the chief of medicine; Dr. Bob Kelso because he is some hypocritical, crazed maniac that cannot even once admit that he really needs friends or loves his wife. As for the maintenance staff is concerned, the only person who actually is involved inside the lives of all four friends, the crazed Janitor, known as Janitor, takes all matters into his own hands when he begins his need for chaos with J.D. As for everyone else, they sort of just go along with absolutely everything that happens between the four friends and their crazed adventures. ...

...2014 Deploying to Afghanistan After a deployment to Afghanistan, I never looked at life the same because having to adapt to a deployment lifestyle was significantly different than the lifestyle I was used to, being attached to a special forces unit of Army Green Berets was different since I am in the Air Force, and facilitating operational missions with the special forces team showed me what it's like to be apart of the mission instead of supporting it. As I reflect back, I don’t think I’ll ever be put in any kind of situation that’ll test me more than my deployment did. I will discuss the many challenges I faced during my deployment, and also explain the deployment events and experiences in sequential order. After I’ve told my story, I’ll briefly discuss how the deployment changed me as a person. First, after a deployment to Afghanistan, I never looked at life the same because having to adapt to a deployment lifestyle was significantly different than the lifestyle I was used to. The beginning of my deployment was a culture shock when my boots first hit the ground in Afghanistan. I had no idea what to expect and the reality of the situation happened so quickly. I can remember one of the first moments when I exited the helicopter; the team chief asked who I was and what I was doing there. I told him I was the cook sent to his site and he must have been expecting a mechanic to fix the vehicles, because he was not happy with my presence. That same night, I was already put...

...How Deployment Stress Affects Children and Families Keith Kovach Daymar Institute BMG 124 December 11, 2013 With all the frequent moves of military families, absence of either parent to a combat zone represents a challenge of a different magnitude. The one that stays behind (usually the mother), more responsibilities, finances, loneliness, and fear for the deployed soldier’s safety can cause anxiety, isolation, sadness and feelings of being overwhelmed. In my experience during my deployments, my family has felt isolation, loneliness, and stress of handling daily tasks without me. My son has taken his anger out on his mother because I wasn’t there to be with them. Studies have showed that Post-traumatic Stress Disorder not only hinders the soldier’s wellbeing, but also the spouse and children for soldiers with families as well as that of soldiers that are single because they take their frustration out on girlfriends, boyfriends, friends, and family. In Archives and Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, children, whose parents serve in the military have different reactions when one of their parents deploys. Stress varies with age and presence of preexisting psychological or behavioral problems and how one deals with the problem. Young children can show separation anxiety, tantrums, and changes in their eating habits. Older children can change in how they perform in their academics and develop some behavior issues or physical complaints...

...what it is like to be in the boots of a US Service Member during their deployment phase? Also have you ever wonder what it was like to fight in a combat zone and the trials and tribulation they face when the deployment goes on? Well I’m going to tell you the three phases of a deployment. First you start with the ceremony, the lonely flight and finally the trials and tribulations of the combat zone. As you well know I’m no longer in the military but I going to tell you these phases through my eyes when I was in the army during my combat tour in Afghanistan from June 2010 to June 2011. It all started when I first sergeant told us what time to be at the company so we can have our early formation before we head to the Green Ramp. If you don’t know what Green Ramp is, it’s the final holding area that separates the soldiers and the plane. The reason why they call it that because it’s a small ramp that leads to the plane and it has green lands on the sides of the ramp. The formation time was 0500 and the weather was so nice that I could hear all the early birds chirping away. The formation time came and the first sergeant held accountability for all the fellow enlisted and officers that were going with us to Afghanistan. When we all found out what time we were heading to Green Ramp, we all decided that this was going to be a very long day. One of my soldiers came up to me and asks will this be a steadfast deployment and I told him I sure hope so. When it was finally time for us to get...

Going through the motions of every day life as a Career Airman in the USAF. After finishing a long week of work on a Friday, my phone rings from my Supervision. I was instructed to report to the shop ASAP. As I’m driving back towards the office thoughts are running across my mind, what happened, someone in trouble, did I forget something? Once I reported to the office, I was informed circumstances have dictated that my skills are needed for a “CSAR” Combat Search And Rescue deployment in Iraq. This was a short notice tasking that takes on a new level of stress. Reason being I have only been with the CSAR unit for 63 Days. I have never faced...

They may possess similar qualities but will carry themselves in their own unique manner. Defining women would be the most arduous task for anyone in this world and for men it's next to impossible. Sometimes, women themselves don't know how creative and unpredictable they can be! Their brilliance makes life easy, their smiles are a harbinger of joy and they are blessed with the power to create life! My wife Melissa has many qualities that make her who she is. She’s loving, compassionate, resilient and hardheaded. The one that stands out to me the most at any given point is the strength she possesses and how she remains strong like an oak tree in an hurricane force wind. She is a mother, a wife and a veteran of the United States Armed Forces.

...Full-length Article – Final Fanning the Home Fires: Raising Awareness and Caring for military kids & families During my husband’s career, my family and I have visited several military installations: Camp Shelby, Mississippi, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania, and Fort Dix, New Jersey to name a few. If you have never visited an Army base, it’s quite an experience. In some respects, it’s not much different than many middle-income towns in America, but in other ways, it’s very different. The people you meet there feel like family somehow. They, like you, are aware that if you are on the base, shopping or in the grocery store that it’s likely you or someone in your family may be faced with the same uncertain but inevitable struggle; coping with the deployment of a family member. Education, teaching coping strategies and connecting families and service personnel to the available resource has been a top initiative of the US Armed Forces in the past 5 years. With the increased dependency upon Reserve and National Guard components to supplement force strength, an unprecedented burden has been placed on the American family. For those individuals who are actively serving as a part-time soldier, deployments mean separation, family hardship and leaving their ordinary everyday lives to serve their Country. In my case, my husband Mark serves as a Sergeant in the Pennsylvania National Guard as a tank commander. He has been deployed several times, for...

...I joined the Navy just out of high school in 2007 where I was trained and became part of a small community known as the U.S. Navy Seabees. Little did I know less than two years into my Navy career, on January 2nd, 2009, I would be faced with the realities of war and forced to make a decision that has forever changed my life. No amount of military training or mental fortitude can prepare a person for the realities of war and the choice I had to make. You hear about it on the news, read it in the papers, listen to veterans and their war stories, but you will never get the feelings so many veterans and I have experienced unless you have been to war and forced to make such drastic, split second judgement calls. My six month deployment started...

...have chosen to talk in my action plan is the 31ST Seabee Readiness Group (SRG). The 31ST SRG is a command under the US Navy and its mission is as follows; The mission of the 31ST SRG, under the direction of FIRST Naval Construction Division (1NCD), is to train, mobilize and equip all Pacific Fleet Naval Constructions Forces units for the purpose of attaining the highest possible state of readiness and ensure they are equipped and posture for mission success. The action plan that I have created is to implement more training for the Logistic Specialists (LS) attached to the Seabee battalions. Seabees are a known force within the department of the Navy. Their missions consist in deploying into remote sites and establish a camp with all the required assets and establishments for other forces to come in and take over the camp and fulfill their mission or tasks. However, the LS lack the necessary training to set up and operate a post office, and this is becoming a burden to some by not having postal services while in the war zone. This is a major deterrent to the morale of the unit. Issues The LS stationed within the Seabee units are not being provided with the necessary training to fulfill their duties while import or on deployment. After every deployment my office conducts a meeting with the battalion and we discuss the issues, lessons learned from the deployment and what needs to be done to assist them on having a successful deployment. Their main issue is...

...Methodology of Image Deployment Robert Collazo Rasmussen College Methodology of Image Deployment When an IT director is deploying and image to multiple computers in a business setting, it is first important to communicate with the staff and managers to inform them when the deployment will be taking place. Second it is important to do an inventory of your assets, for a desktop deployment project, it is vital to have an up-to date inventory of the organization’s PCs and applications constantly. Also, an organization will need to conduct an inventory on a regular basis. Third you must consolidate your applications, Determine which applications will be allowed to be redeployed on new systems, and start a process of packaging or scripting those applications so they can be reinstalled quickly and consistently without user intervention. Fourth you must consolidate your hardware, Organizations typically have far too many different types of desktop and laptop PCs due to lack of centralized purchasing and regular hardware refresh. We have seen cases where as many as 180 hardware types were discovered. My recommendation is to create a single operating system image that supports all hardware types. Fifth Establish an imaging process to create a standard image, once the hardware inventory is known, the next step in a deployment project is to establish an imaging process to produce a standard software image for the workstation. Sixth I would automate the preservation of local user data...

...My Past, Present, and Future PSY 202 My past was my future, and both were full of doubt and unwillingness to continue my education after I graduated from high school. After high school, three individuals impacted my life and changed my views on family, life, and education. Several years passed with me working a steady job until I found myself almost unemployed and needing the education I had not pursued. This resulted in my decision to join the Army to support my financial needs. I felt satisfied with my employment, until I decided to have a family of my own and with this expansion; I knew I had to further my education to meet the requirements to excel in my career. These life experiences changed my views on family, life, and education. Unfortunately, I was always unbalanced and unable to meet the educational needs that needed to be settled in my life. The three individuals that have influenced my life, and who have helped me become the person that I am today are my father, my uncle, and my wife. Their influence has greatly affected who I am and who I want to be. Urie Bronfenbrenner stated, “Ecological theory proposes that human development is best explained in terms of the interaction between individuals and the environments in which they live or have lived” (Witt & Mossler, 2010, p. 53). My father was a big influence, directing me to conduct myself as a man should. He instilled morals, beliefs, and responsibilities that helped me to look for the good in everyone...

...help get my squad prepared for the upcoming deployment I need to look at the METL and see what I can expect as far as daily operations. I know that I will need to implement a lot of cardiorespiratory endurance training based on the terrain. Muscular strength will still be a factor, but I will adjust the ratio of the program so as to put more of a focus on running, ruck marching, and buddy carry type exercises. Some objectives I would create would be ability group runs that increase by time and speed weekly. Ruck marches at distances starting at 3 miles with a 30 lb ruck to 12 miles with a 60lb ruck. Buddies carry drills that consist of fireman carries, log drills and litter runs. While this is being conducted I will monitor each soldier and identify specific problems that need to be worked on and adjust the training schedule accordingly. As far as the soldiers that are overweight they would conduct physical training with the platoon as well as take part in special population PT the same day. This would be emplaced to help push those soldiers to get within standards in accordance with AR600-9 that much faster. The overweight soldiers need a special separate plan to get where they need to be, but taking away from physical training that is imperative to the mission is a problem. That is why we would initiate a special population program at a different time. If I was a squad leader that inherits a squad that has overweight issues, I will first schedule an appointment for my squad...

...about before you get started, and outline what resources you’ll need to have in place in order to begin testing. Any NAC deployment must start by answering three critical questions: 1) What is my access control policy? 2) What are the access methods (such as LAN, wireless, or VPN) I want to protect? 3) How will this integrate with my existing infrastructure? Once you answer these questions, you can begin to gather test lab resources, such as servers (for policy definition points), laptops or desktops (for network access requestors), and switches, access points, and VPN servers (for policy enforcement points). Getting Started with Network Access Control What is my access control policy? NAC is a generic concept that deals with defining access controls based on user authentication, end-point security assessment, and network environmental information. That’s too big for most network managers to bite off in a single chunk, so many NAC deployments hone in on a subset of these goals and expand over time. You’d be wise to do the same---trying to do too much too early in the lifecycle of this emerging group of products will lead to undue frustration and unnecessary complexity. To start, you should define a simple network access control policy. It is important to define your access control policy first, because that will frame the rest of your testing and deployment. You can put it in any format you want, but most network managers will be most comfortable with something that looks like...

...Home, The Deep Blue Sea Leaving home was probably one of my biggest fears of my life. Stepping out of Texas, with only a back pack and the clothes on my back, and going into a whole new world. The United States Navy helps several people become independent to: see the other side of the picture, discover one’s weaknesses, teach how to build up financially and helps many become stronger physically but also emotionally. On the other hand, the Navy also destroyed sailors, soldiers and airmen’s sanity. Deployments not only destroyed my mind set; it destroyed several other people’s and many of their relationships, which most civilians will never understand why or even how. There I was, May 5th, arriving at aircraft carrier the USS Carl Vinson, fresh out of boot camp and I’m amazed at how huge this ship is. “Here’s your rack, Moreno. When you finish putting away your uniforms, Lawson will help you get to the mess decks.” Rack, enclosed bed, three walls, and a curtain for privacy from everyone else’s racks. The spaces between you and the person sleeping across from you was not even the length of your arms spread out. Our first deployment was just to get “Around The Horn”, around South America, because our duty station changed from Norfolk, Virginia, to San Diego, California. Our second deployment was six months long, probably the longest six months I’ve ever experienced. We were on a ship, more a city. It houses about 5,000 sailors. Just imagine the lines for “chow”, showers, computers...
