A day in the life of a Soldier
The military has many different jobs and positions which all have different lifestyles. A reserve may work at home, after their training, waiting for when they are needed, whereas, an official commander may be on duty throughout the whole day. The life of a soldier may change from one day to another. Training and when a soldier actually goes to war are different types of lifestyles.
Initial training is hard and tough, but they expect them to remember everything that is taught to them because one day it might save their lives. They learn how to take care of their equipment, use all of the weapons, learn discipline through drills, build strength and stamina, and they need to learn to be decisive, communicate, and how to be a good leader. Through rigorous training, and challenges they test each soldiers ability to not only develop theses skills, but to maintain them through testing conditions. But after basic training, specialization comes into play, and more skills and knowledge is needed to proceed higher in the army.
So here's the life of a man striving to become soldier
A soldier's day usually starts around 530 in the morning, and they are expected to be all ready for training to begin at 6. The first part of training is the physical training, and building of strength. Through long hard runs, and intense exercises the soldiers begin to develop. At 7 they stop for breakfast but more training begins at 830. This training could be anything from first aid skills, to combat skills. Through painfully challenging tasks, the soldiers are able to become more experienced. At 12 they take a break from training for an hour, but training resumes at 1. At 5 they grab dinner and at 6 they meet with their drill sergeant where they learn discipline, and commitment to the team. Starting at 8 they have an hour of personal time to wind down their hard day of training, but 9 is lights out to get a good nights rest before the day repeats itself. Through this hard schedule soldiers are built, and the army slowly grows.

I liked reading your blog. I also am doing my paper on the life of a soldier. For my blog I took the aproach of when a soldier is in battle, so it was cool reading yours because yours explained what it took for a soldier to make it to battle. I liked how you used the word "specialization" because that shows how even though being a soldier doesnt require extensive schooling, it requires extensive training. I think training is just as good as schooling because both work on different aspects of your life. It doesnt just take intellect to be a professional, but it can also take strength. Not everybody has what it takes to be a soldier, just like not everyone has what it takes to be a doctor or lawyer. It really shows that no matter what your strengths are, you can still master those strengths and become a professional
