Another light?

I’ve seen the light

And you’ve told me the truth

Now I, can’t deny

This gratifying feeling

A truce broken through daylight

Actions that cause fear in…

Souls that were mine

Lost to fiends

That were stealing what was dear

They renegades spitfire

Quick-start this revolution

The flight I fought for

Comes down to one

Not two of the three

Great Americans fall

Soldiers needed in war love was blind

Left many bleeding

Now I can’t deny

Thy divine power spoken

From above all these lights

That covers those stars

So I say “hi” to all my friends

Well the ones I’ve kept anyways

War lost in heart

Broken truce lost in delight’s fine hands

Heartbreak warfare on my mind

Even jerks speak their minds

God’s left us with a fiery torch

Sent from fears tears

Portfolio #1

Many of us lack motivation. If it’s to do work of any sort or anything in general. People tend to be lazy a lot of times and always try to find easier ways to do it. Anywhere from cleaning their room, doing their homework, helping around the house or working out.

Since elementary school I was never a lazy kid. I was always active ready to learn and do something new. As for being clean and helpful I was young so it was understandable. I had the motivation to get up every day and attend school excited for the day to start and be the best I can be.

Middle school is where many things changed. I became more active, athletic, and responsible. There has to be something in you that makes you want to do something, but it wasn’t that way for me. I felt like I did the things I did because people depended on it. I’m not sure if that is the way everyone felt but things just got worse then on.

In high school I felt like school just wasn’t for me. I never worked out, do homework or sometimes show up to class. It seemed motivation didn’t exist in my world. I would get home, watch TV and play video games but never what I had to do. My brother was in the military for 8 years and since he was always gone it was like he didn’t exist to me. I was young to even care. But for some odd reason he came for a visit on his last year before his release and I was at the age of 16. He let me on to the story of his high school experience and how he managed a night job while still going to school and help my mom out with 7 kids and still managed to graduate at top 10% of his class with a 3.77 GPA. I tried showing I didn’t care but inside I knew he was right and it as if I knew I was wrong the whole time but was just waiting for someone to let me know, like I needed someone to motivate me. I thought a lot of what he had told me and began to make small changes in my life. Soon small changes led to bigger changes. I began attending class everyday, turning in homework, helping around the house and doing what had to be done. I began doing it for my brother first, but soon realized I was doing it for myself. He gave me the motivation to do many of the things I do today. My life may not be perfect, yet far from it but I know that if it wasn’t for him, who knows how it would have turned out. My brother never gives up and always pushes forward; he has one of the toughest spirits that seems impossible to break. That is the motivation I wake up with everyday, to be like my brother.

Motivation

Motivation is something many of us lack. Wether is to do work of any sort or it could be anything in general. People tend to be lazy a lot of the times and always try to find other easier ways to do it. I was one of those a while back. I lacked the motivation for many things. Wether it was to clean my room, do my homework, help around the house or work out. Since i was in elementary school i was never a lazy kid. I was always active ready to learn and so something new. In my Physical Education class i was always top of the class ready to do whatever i was told and not just do it, but do it right and consistantly. As for being clean and helpful i was young at the time so it was understandable. But it seems that as people age you would think they would become more clean and responsible but that not the way it seemed, at least not for me. I had the motivation to get up every day and go to school excited for the day to start and make something out of it and be the best i can be. Middle school is were many things changed. I became more active, atheltic, responsible and in some way clean. It wasnt like most of the time i wanted to be respinsible or clean or many of the things i did, but in fact i was forced to. Motivation is something you should bring upon yourself, self motivation to be exact. There has to be something in you that makes you want to do it but it seemed that it wasnt that way for me. I felt like i did the things i did because people depended on it and i felt i had no other choice but never because i wanted to. Im not quite sure if that is the way everyone felt but things just got worse from then on. As i moved on to high school. Priorities went everywhere but the right way. I didnt feel it anymore. I felt like school just wasnt for me and got lazy as can be. I never worked out or did homework or sometimes even show up to class. It seemed as motivation didnt exist in my world anymore. I would get home and just watch tv and play video games but never what i had to do. This didnt last long though. My brother was in the military for 8 years and since he was always gone it was like he didnt exist to me. I was to young to even to care or maybe i just didnt want to care. But for some odd reason he came for a visit on his last year before his release and i was at the age of 16. I was fully aware now of what he done and where hed been. It wasnt long before he realized how i was doing in school and he got upset and began questioning me. At first like any other teen would react i was stubborn and just try and make it seem like it was no big deal. He then let me on to the story of his high school experience and how he had to manage a night job while still going to school and help my mom out with 7 kids and still managed to graduate at top 10% of his class with a 3.77 GPA. I tried to show like i didnt care but inside i knew he was right and it as if i knew i was wrong the whole time but was just waiting for someone to let me know, like i needed someone to motivate me. I thought a lot of what he had told me and began to make small changes in my life. Soon enought small changes led to bigger changes and before you know it, i was attending class everyday, turning in homework, helping around the house and doing what had to be done with no questions asked. I began doing it at first for my brother, but i soon realized i was doing it for myself. How could my brother whom was gone for so long and i barely knew change my life like that. He gave me the motivation to do many of the things i do today. My life may not be perfect now, it may be far from it but i know that if it wasnt for him, who knows if i would even have a life. My brother never gives up and always pushes forward, he has one of the thoughest spirits that almost seems impossible to break. And that right there is the motivation i wake up with everyday… to be just like my brother.

Navy SEALs Prep School and BUD/S

Aspiring SEALs are given a crash course in the physical standards required to even attempt to become a SEAL. It starts with an initial Physical Screening Test and ends with a more demanding Physical Screening Test, one that includes a timed four-mile run and a timed 1,000-meter swim. The goal is to increase your physical readiness between the two tests so that you are ready to move on to BUD/S. Those unable to pass the final test are removed from the SEAL training pipeline and reclassified into other jobs in the Navy. BUD/S is a 24-week training challenge that develops your mental and physical stamina and leadership skills. Each BUD/S phase includes timed physical condition tests, with the time requirements becoming more demanding each week.

Navy SEALs Work Environment and Training

The job of a Navy SEAL relies heavily on adaptability and teamwork. Members train and work in all manner of environments, including desert and urban areas, mountains and woodlands, and jungle and arctic conditions. Whatever the specific mission and surroundings, you’ll utilize the specialized skills and the high-tech equipment required. And you’ll operate not only as a highly capable individual but also as a member of tightly knit SEAL units. These include task units (32-man), platoons (16-man), squads (8-man), teams (4-man) and swim buddy (2-man). The comprehensive SEAL training process prepares you for the extreme physical and mental challenges of SEAL missions. Your preparation will consist of more than 12 months of initial training that includes Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL BUD/S School, Parachute Jump School and SEAL Qualificiation Training (SQT), followed by an additional 18 months of pre-deployment training and intensive specialized training. Everything in training is designed to push you to your physical and mental limits. If you’re up to the task, you’ll emerge in incredible physical shape and possess the necessary confidence, determination and teamwork to succeed in a combat environment.

Navy SEALs Job and Responsibilities

To become a SEAL in the Naval Special Warfare community, you must first go through what is widely considered to be the most physically and mentally demanding military training in existence. Then comes the tough part: the job of essentially taking on any situation or foe that the world has to offer. Achieving the impossible by way of conditioned response, sheer willpower and absolute dedication to their training, their missions and their fellow spec ops team members. Your duties as a SEAL may include and are not limited to conducting insertions and extractions by sea, air or land to accomplish covert, Special Warfare/Special Operation missions. Capturing high-value enemy personnel and terrorists around the world. Collecting information and intelligence through special reconnaissance missions. Carrying out small-unit, direct-action missions against military targets. Performing underwater reconnaissance and the demolition of natural or man-made obstacles prior to amphibious landings. No college degree is required to become a Navy SEAL, but the standards of qualification require the kind of mental and physical fortitude that few possess. For those making the cut, immense challenges and constant training are a way of life. And for those SEALs with further leadership aspirations and a college degree, Officer roles are available – providing opportunities to lead SEAL units and train aspiring SEAL warriors.
