Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a very important day that many people need to recognize and they do. Memorial Day is a day in which we honor those who serve in the military because without them we would be powerless. We also remember those who died while fighting for our nation. We basically just thank and honor everyone who was in the army and are still in the army. This is to honor those who died in the military. Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May. There are many ways you show honor and respect on Memorial Day. Some of these ways are collection for troops, discounts and free offers, volunteering, highlight soldiers, stories, and parades. What I do to honor Memorial Day is thank my sister’s husband and all his friends. The reason I do this is because my sister’s husband is in the navy and of course so are his friends. They are very polite and not as strict as people make them out to be. Even though I can’t see them every day because they live in San Diego I still call them on special occasions and of course always on Memorial Day. his name is Scott Frable and i will always honor the way he fights for our country. i would always honor his best friend Terry because he is on duty and in a ship in the middle of the sea.  

Navy

Duties and Responsibilities: for me as a female, in the navy there is no discrimination and everything and everyone is equal. Sailors work on passenger ships, freighters, and tanker ships. A sailor navigates sea-going vessels and assists with the maintenance, operation, and service of these vessels. The term sailor was derived from the fact that all water-borne vessels were once powered by sails. Now the term encompasses all types of vessels, no matter how they are powered. Today, sailors may work for the military or private companies in all aspects of marine employment. A sailor is responsible for the water-borne vessel as a whole. Whether they are navigating, on the deck crew, or in maintenance, their responsibilities can vary. During the docking procedure or before departure, they are responsible for examining and securing the mooring lines. They are also responsible for the general cleaning of the decks and the routine maintenance. They must be well-versed in fire safety and firefighting methods. They are often called upon to perform duties that utilize welding and carpentry skills. During the sailing expedition, they are responsible for navigating and watching while at sea. They must follow all orders given to them by their captain on duty. As they gain more experience, their responsibilities will increase. Most eventually learn all of the aspects of sailing and vessel maintenance and operation

Salary: full time pay for a sailor depends on the amount of years you have been in the navy. Basically this ranges from $1,546.80-$2,580.60.This also depends on your ranking.

Education: to join the navy you really don’t need any education. Only the basics of it like you three schools elementary, middle, and high school. You would have to accomplish all of these.

Reflection: this is I believe the only job I would like to really do besides becoming a culinary artist. I would really like to be a part of the navy and serve and protect my country.
