...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 - Civic Welfare Service, Literacy Training Service, and Reserve Officers Training Corps - will be given the same and equal implementation in educational institutions. Moreover, it defined the different components, the duration of the training, coverage, etc. The Three NSTP Components The National Service Training Program is composed of three different components.

...that its development will not end here. Cadets have gone on to become professional athletes, renowned scholars, and celebrated members of the military; one can only imagine what inspiring individuals the program will produce in the future. From roughly 1819 to 1915, military training occurred sparingly in high schools and colleges across the nation; although it lacked sanction, it encouraged many students to pursue careers in the armed forces. President Wilson addressed the issue of this unofficial instruction in 1916, when he signed the National Defense Act. The National Defense Act of 1916 is primarily responsible for the creation of JROTC. At the beginning of its existence, active duty military personnel led the Army JROTC program; their tools to lead instruction consisted of federal military equipment loaned to them. Only six units...

...Army Recruiting – Supplying our Nation with Peace Keepers Russell Davidson University of Phoenix MGT 554 Operations Management Kraig Rushing April 17, 2006 Army Recruiting – Supplying our Nation with Peace Keepers One of the oldest and proudest organizations in our nation’s history has been the United States Army. The ever-present guardians of the nation’s liberties and freedoms, the Army has always been there when called upon whether in times of war or peace. This protection our nation is only possible because of those who volunteer to serve. The military continually relies on a constant supply of new personnel to maintain their ability to protect and defend our nation. However, finding those willing to serve and those who are qualified to serve is probably the most difficult task each branch of the military faces. As with any company or organization, the United States Army continually seeks new and brighter applicants who are willing to serve. These applicants make up the individual product produced and supplied to the nation thus ensuring the nations security and freedoms. Sure there are those who are eager to serve but to ensure the Army maintains the required troop strength there must be a system in place to help bring additional personnel into the service and to evaluate the applicant (product) to ensure they meet the minimum standards of the Army. That system is recruiting. Probably the hardest but one of the most rewarding jobs, recruiting helps the Army...

Methods: A case study approach was used. The single case being a Defence School of Health Care Studies (DSHCS) and the multiple units of analysis: student nurses, the lecturers and Student Standing Orders. An in depth three dimensional picture was achieved using multiple data collection methods: interview, survey, observation and document analysis. Findings: The findings suggest that the DSHCS is perceived to be a sub-culture within a dominant civilian learning culture. Generally, the students and staff believed that the DSHCS is an excellent learning environment and that the defence students overall are high achievers. The common themes that appeared from the data were image, ethos, environment, discipline, support, welfare and a civilian versus military way of thinking. Conclusion: The learning experience of defence student nurses is very positive and enhanced by the positive learning culture of the civilian Higher Educational Institution. The factors influencing a positive learning experience that...

...the work place, time management, and others relating to the specific type of work being performed at the company. We must remember though, even if a company looks to be flourishing, doesn’t mean they are fiscally solvent or have an underlying problem within itself. A prime example of a booming business with concealed problems is the United States Air Force. The Air Force sends approximately 35,000 trainees annually to Basic Military Training (BMT) at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. In basic training each flight of trainees receives two Military Training Instructors (MTIs). These MTIs hold the special duty of being the first impression of the Air Force on a brand new enlisted member. MTIs are supposed to be someone you can put full trust in, believe in, and look up to. They play an important role in helping mold an individual into a promising and successful airman. This was obviously not the case for many females going through basic training during the time frame of October 2010-Feburary 2011. During this time frame, more than ten Military Training Instructors, were charged with sexual assault against more than...

...asked is how difficult it was to transition from the Marine Corps., to the Army Reserve. Switching from one branch of the military to another presents its challenges. Especially, when you are used to certain, customs, traditions, and work tempo. Some tangible differences switching from active duty to the reserves is that you serve in a reserve capacity, which basically means that you are part time. What this means is, you are obligated to train for two days out of each month, depending on the demands of the Army Reserve, and two weeks out of the year. As oppose to active duty, in which you are designated or serving at an active military installation. There are both pros and cons regarding both active duty and being a reservist. Serving in an active duty component requires most of its service members to live at the base or location that the Marine Corps chooses for you. As a result your freedom is limited, you are relegated to constant supervision, and the pressures to accomplish the mission are elevated. Some of the rewarding advantages to serving on active duty are job security, guaranteed pay check on the first and fifteenth of each month, free health and dental insurance, free housing, food paid for, paid college education, scheduled physical training, day-to-day on...

...she liked. It was not just Satrapi who faced changes but other families as well and even the society as a whole. Although there were many changes in the lifestyles of many, there was a great impact on the military, women, education and in many adolescences. To begin, the military began recruiting teenage boys at age fourteen living in poverty which created a change in the military. This was a change within the military because at fourteen one is still considered immature and has not mentally or physically developed to the fullest. To join the military one should be mature and fully grown. Many of these fourteen year old boys were tricked into joining the military. They were given a key painted gold representing value. They were told if they were fortunate enough to die, the golden key would open the door into heaven. They were promised a better life than the one they were living in the lower class. As Mrs. Nasrine, Satrapi’s maid, explains, “‘They told him that in paradise there will be plenty of food, women and houses made of gold and diamonds’” (100). The lifestyles of these teenage boys were changed completely. At such a young age their teenage years of finding love and friendship was taken away by a key painted gold. Not only were there changes in the military, women had their rights and freedom taken away. Furthermore, women faced many changes during the war. At the start of the...

...Lauri Goodling English 1101 September 27, 2010 Military Life vs. Civilian life Life in the military offers many benefits that are not available to most people living a civilian life. Joining the military is a defining moment in a person’s life and has long-term effects on his or her immediate family. The sacrifices of a soldier may include long absence from home and family, deployment to dangerous places, and uncertainty of personal safety. Nonetheless, the benefits of serving in the military outweigh any conceived possibility of danger, discomfort, or homesickness. The military provides education/specialized training and healthcare, creates jobs, and offers opportunities for traveling to different places in the world. The current state of the job market in America is very limited to those with little education or any specialized training. For civilians seeking a new career, they are forced with having to pay for the training unlike their military counterparts. The military has a wide range of occupational specialties (MOS) from which any service member can choose upon entering or at any time during their career. Unlike civilians who usually must maintain a job in order to have an income, military personnel are paid while in school learning occupational skills. Along with the expense of paying for training, civilians also must seek employment on their own and can choose to work anywhere they want. Adversely, military personnel do not have the option of choosing where...

From winning large global wars, to humanitarian missions, and to even mediating global politics the US military has risen to every occasion and fulfilled their role put forth in the Constitution. No other organization has such a stellar legacy, or track record of upholding American values or promoting American policies on the world stage. Americans have a proud military legacy which is now facing a crisis point. America is in jeopardy of destroying their proud military tradition as a result of three disastrous disparities that have developed from the current political climate of the past four decades. The military government relationship has severe divergences in ideology, experience, and demographics. The ideological disparity is a problem of ethics. The American...

...generations. The Army was formed on June 14, 1775. There are several entities of the organization to include infantry, adjutant general and engineer corps. Congress authorized enlisted riflemen to serve under the United States of America. The purpose of the Army is to protect and serve the constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic. There are several elements that form the organization. The Army is designed to create leaders that training and defend regardless of the sacrifice. In addition to education and training the Army is also known for its traditions, custom and courtesy. Military customs and courtesy is a simple form of displaying manners and politeness in dealing with others. Traditions such as rendering the hand salute and addressing superiors as Sir or Ma’am are a few examples of military customs and courtesy, Moreover the life in the Army is not easy and it can be a challenge for many individuals. When preparing for the military and its demanding career one must be prepared physically and mentally. Therefore it is imperative to know the challenges and be prepared to face them.

Over the course of the ten weeks the Army values are embedded in the Soldiers and they all learn to work together. There are three phrases that a recruit must complete before completing basic training...

...Opting for the Military (revise) In the American culture, value is often dictated through the money one has and the possessions one owns. There is a constant goal to have more. The more things you have, the more you are worth, and the more you can rest safe and assured that you are doing well. Like a bubble, your infinitive collection of things acts as a safety net. Perhaps this mindset contributes to the lack of equivalence in the discretionary spending of the national budget. Money is aimed towards excessive military efforts, which could provide a sense of stability and protection for the American people as the military is given money and remains heavily stocked and prepared for battle. The national budget is a distribution of money from the government to various publicly funded areas such as international affairs, veterans’ benefits, social security, and other areas like Medicare and health or even the government itself. The federal spending is broken down into mandatory spending, discretionary spending, and money from interest on debt. Mandatory spending is not regulated like a typical budget, and is instead derived from...
