Blog #9 We all have something to be thankful for, what's your reason?

   Since it is Thanksgiving week, your assignment this week is to list 3 things that you are thankful for and explain your reasons.  Once you have done that, your remaining responses are to comment on other cadet's work and to also post a video URL link about Thanksgiving.  Here are my reasons:
1:  I am thankful for having a wonderful caring family that offers support and brings happiness to my life.
2:  I am thankful for having a job that I enjoy and keeps me young at heart.
3:  I am thankful for having a new grandson that is healthy and my daughter is doing well also.

I hope you enjoy these videos:

Blog #8 What Leader floats your boat and will be your role model?

Good morning cadets. Since we are reading about leadership and management your task this week should be a relatively easy one.  You must select a leader from the 20th or 21st century that is a positive role model and read an autobiography or biography about that person. Below is a list of possible selections but they are not the only ones to choose from.  You must select your person, then find a web-site about that individual and post the URL back to our blog. You must then explain why you chose your person as well. The last thing that you must do is to comment on at least one other cadet's work. Remember that leaders come in all shapes and sizes and also from all areas and walks of life, not just from the military or politics. Anyone that has had a profound positive effect on society as a whole is up for grabs.  Don't forget that there are 4 parts to this assignment and that you must complete all 4 parts to get full credit.  See list that follow for ideas:

Blog #7 Veteran's Day Tribute, I can't say thank you enough...

Hi again cadets and welcome back to your weekly blog assignment. This week your task is to find a moving/fitting video that pays tribute the our Veterans that fought and served our country.  Once you have found the video that you like, post the URL for that video on our blog. Then you must give a brief explanation on why you chose your video. The last part of the exercise is to comment on other cadet's work. Remember that the purpose of your work this week is to thank those individuals that have served our country.  For bonus points, you can create your own video that pays tribute to Veterans and post it on YouTube. Once you have completed that task, make sure you publish the URL back to our site as well.  Good luck with this assignment and I look forward to seeing your hard work.

PS: Make sure that you use a different video for each individuals own posting, do not duplicate each other's work. Here is the video that I chose and I post it in honor and in tribute to my dad, who was born on 11-11-37.  He fought and served in the Korean War, may he rest in peace.
