The history of the world war 2.

I am going to be talking about the history of world war two in this blog post. World war two is the worst war by far the U.S. has been in. I will start off by telling you how world war two broke out. World war two actually starts because of world war ones treaty. The treaty punished Germany a lot and caused them to go into a depression. This give Adolf Hitler the perfect chance to rise to power and take over Germany and that's exactly what he did. Once Hitler was in control of Germany he then made treaties with Japan and Italy. 
Those things are what built up to the war. World war two starts when Germany invades Poland. As a result of them invading Poland, France and Great Britain declare war on Germany and war begins.
Germany then invades the following countries; on April 9th 1940 Germany invades Norway and Denmark at the same time. This brings the war to the east of Europe. Then in May 10th the Germans swept through Belgium and the Netherlands, this was known as blitzkrieg or lightning war.
Germany takes France over and is hitting Great Britain pretty hard. So the U.S. is helping supply Great Britain and is going to free France. The U.S. free France of German control was called D-day.
Germany has a truce with Russia but Hitler betrays the truce by attacking Russia and they fail. This makes Russia really mad and so they attack Germany as a result of them getting attacked. 
Hitler starts losing the war Russia is attacking them from one side and the U.S. from the other. The Russian make it to Hitler first but before they can capture him he kills himself. Once Hitler is dead the war is over.
As a result of the war 45-60 million people were killed. Six million were Jews as a result of Hitler's Holocaust.

Compare and contrast Army and Marines.

This blog post is going to be about comparing and contrasting the US Army with the Marine Corps. I will start off by comparing the things they have in common.
The US Army and the Marine Corps have some stuff in common but not really a lot. The Army and the Marines Corps both are in the Department of Defense. The thing they have in common a lot is all the engagements there are in together. Most of these you probably know but for the people that don't know them here they are. 
The US Army and the Marines both where in the following wars, American Civil war, American Revolutionary war, Banana wars, Boxer Rebellion, Gulf War, Korean War, Mexican- American war, Spanish-American war,
Vietnam war, War in Iraq, World war 1 and 2. There are a few more that I did not list because I think I made the list long enough.
Now I will tell you about some differences between the US Army and the Marine Corps. They are both founded on different dates. The US Army was founded in June 14 1775, and the Marine Corps is founded in November 10 1775. The Marine Corps is not in the Department of the Army but it is in the Department of the Navy which the Army is not in the Department of the Navy. 
The Army and the Marine Corps both have different mottoes. The Marine Corps was in the following wars that the US Army was not in, Barbary War, Quasi-War, and the Seminole Wars. The Army was in two wars that the Marine Corps was not in and they are the Indian Wars, and the Utah War.

Interview

This blog post is going to be an interview of someone who is or was in the military. I was going to try to see if I could talk to someone that is in the military. But then I remember my step dad was in the military so I interviewed him. He was in the US Army and theses are a few questions I asked him.
1.) What is the military like, is it easy or hard?
He replied and said "The Army is hard at the beginning but it gets easier as you go. He said it takes a lot of getting uses to.
2.) What were some challenges you faced?
Well there sleeping in one big room with 30 different people you don't know and sometimes they don't speak English so we have to help them because we are a team.
3.) What was the toughest thing to get uses to?
Having no say so, the schedule of when you got to do what and being yelled at.
4.) What would you say was the most rewarding about the military?
The most rewarding thing for me was that it opened my eyes a lot. In the Army it does not matter where you are from, what religion you are, and skin color does not matter because we are all human.
5.) Is there anything that has stuck with you from the Army? Like something someone has said?
Yes my drill sergeant said it does not matter what color you are, that you are all Army Green.
That is it for my interview with my step dad. I hope you all enjoyed learning and hearing about his experiences as much as I did.

How to become a Marine!

This blog post is a how to post about how to become a Marine. Becoming a Marine is no joke it takes a lot of hard work and commitment. If you not serious about it than don't even try. Okay well I will start this off by talking about how to enlist. Of course this is the first step is signing up and to do this you should and go speak to a marine recruiter. "Again I can't say how serious you got to be because marine recruiters take their job very seriously, they feel very responsible and want to fulfill their job they have been sent out to do." Most Marines take recruiting ask a great reward because they are helping insure a good future for the Corps. 
Step two if you get in you will have to go through twelve weeks of basic training. These twelve weeks are going to be very intense. They mostly will be the hardest things you have ever done in your life. To pass the physical fitness tests you have to be able to do two full pulls ups for guys. This means you  have your arms have to fully extend when you go down and when you go up your chin has to go above the bar. Now for women to pass the  pull up part of the test they have to hang with their arms fully extended for fifteenths seconds. These are the minimum amount you have to do so you should be able to do way better. 
The second part of the fitness that you should be able to do is you should be able to do crunches. The minimum amount of crunches for both men and women is 44 crunches in two minutes. 
The three and final thing you have to do is the timed run. Males have to run 1.5 miles in 13:30 minutes and for females they get 15 minutes to cross the finish line. 
Now all three of those is to prepare this is not all you will have to do. You will be doing way more that this. This is to prepare and so you can pass some of the test.
