Cody Dakota Wooten, C.B.C.Published 4 months ago in JournalMy First Day In Basic Training (Army)
Im (PFC) Torres, and I like to talk to you how my experience in starting basic training and how I prepared to start basic went. It started in 2021 during the covid pandemic I was 16 at the time I live in Puerto Rico which most people don't know is a United States territory so anyone born there is a US. Citizen, I was about to start the 10th grade when I heard of a military school that allows you to finish highschool in just 6 months, The name of the school is called Youth challenge Academy. I had to get permission from my parents to go and they agreed, while in that school they showed young kids ranging from ages 16-18 how to become a well educated, discipline, care giving member of society. Anyone who act up was punished with manuel labor. During this time you were split into groups known as platoon 1, platoon 2, platoon 3, platoon 4, platoon 5, and platoon 6. I was in platoon 6 anytime someone in your platoon messed up everyone in the platoon payed for that persons mistake, you had to eat when they tell you to, walk when they tell you to, look where they tell you, shower, sleep, exercise and so on. The showers you only had 8 minutes from when you got in the building to come out clean and everything you used has to be put away nicely, it seemed impossible but we were able to do it just fine after messing up a few times. We did a 30 minute exercise each morning apart from Saturdays and Sundays which were the days we spent that time cleaning the entirety of the barracks. Any dirt dust or grime that was found is 10 minutes of exercise we had to endure, on top of this we also had to learn basic highschool classes like math, history, language arts, computer, and English class. Which we only had to take English class cause this takes place in Puerto Rico, luckily I already know English so it was a gifted A+ for me. Despite everything I just mentioned about this school it was amazing having the opportunity to be with so many people with different walks of life gather together helping one another to do their best in graduating, once I graduated from youth challenge I enlisted in the US army national guard right away. I enlisted as a 92G(field feeding specialist) once I swore loyalty to the United States. And the the government of Puerto Rico, I was taken to an airport where I said my goodbyes to my family and was taken to basic. I was taken to Fort Jackson. The first two weeks was just processing where they give you all of the equipment you'll need for basic training, everybody there was so happy and motivated to start. Buses came to pick everyone up and take them to meet their drill sergeant. Once we got to their we were met with yelling and hard exercise immediately, for not getting out the bus fast enough. After what I believe was an hour maybe longer of unbearable pain from the exercise they finally gave us a proper greeting. They showed us what we will be doing everyday and made sure everyone understood everything, they gave us that one day of annoying them with questions because they even told us if we ask them questions of what the already explained to us the other day, we will get hell for it. The rest of basic went very smoothly I already know what was to come because of my experience in Youth challenge. I enjoyed every moment I was there. And if I had the chance of doing it all again I probably would. I joined basic as an E-1(PVT) when I was 17 years old, after basic I went to AIT. To learn how to become a 92G(field feeding specialist) it was a lot nicer and smoother in AIT compared to basic. We had lots of fun. Once I came back to Puerto Rico I was ranked up to E-2(PV2) right away, we were congratulated and shown to our new leaders, few months later I'm now E-3(PFC) and I can safely say I dont regret a damn thing, I love the experience I had with everyone who led me to this point on and like I said before if I had to do it all again I would. Thanks for your time in reading my story:)

We put a lot of emphasis on Leaders. Often, whenever we look at an Organization, we will look at the top Leader to determine everything about that Organization.

If there's anything you should know about me, is that I am a big history-lover. And the subject doesn't really matter that much to me... I just love to study history! Even as a kid I could enjoy hours-worth of fare on the History Channel (before they started steering into the reality-TV-scene). Sometimes I would watch by myself and sometimes I would watch with my dad, especially if it was about WWII or the American Revolution (he was always particularly interested in Military History). One series we found together, and were surprisingly impressed with was a title that has gone of to have several different spin-offs: "The Men Who Built America."
Taylor RigsbyPublished 4 months ago in JournalUnmasking The Root Cause of Manager-Staff Discontent
According to a popular handbook for managers written years ago, a good manager motivates others by "encouraging ambition, the desire to achieve, and a wish to contribute to the collective good of the business". This was followed by a list of qualities regarded as important to this role (like being decisive, setting high standards and defining responsibility). No doubt, those are useful pre-requisites for leading and engaging others, but concentrating on just those qualities assume that all managers start from the same point with the same perspectives. Unfortunately, they don't, for a simple but crucial reason.

As I browse my pictures on Instagram, I realized that I have stopped living. Well, I didn't know that I have stopped living. Or, is studying Medicine can really feel and make you like a dead person inside, emotionally and spiritually?

Cody Dakota Wooten, C.B.C.Published 4 months ago in JournalCheers to New Ventures
Just a couple of weeks ago, my husband and I didn't know how we were going to pay all of our bills. We were in a situation where we were trying to figure out what bills we could put off, or what we could sell in the house to make a couple of extra bucks to pay something. I was trying to take out a loan, but I only work part time, so I couldn't get approved for any. On top of that, my student loans are unfrozen, so that's another bill that was added. Needless to say, I've had a couple meltdowns thinking/talking about our finances. I wasn't sleeping, and all I could think about during the day was what I could do to make some money so that we could survive.
