Description

Class Experience

Are you studying American history?
Curious about the five branches of the United States military?
Wondering if a career in the military is a good choice for you?

Join me as we begin by reviewing the story behind the birthdays of each of these defense units.

Next, we'll look at the present day mission statement of each branch.

We will dig deeper into the academic opportunities available as service members and for graduates thinking about the military academies. 

Learners will talk about...

Name the five US military branches
Recall the purpose of each military branch
Recognize the birthdays of each branch
Name career and academic opportunities within each branch.

I am a licensed teacher of history and have taught for over 15 years in a public classroom.
I am a wife of a United States Marine and the mother of a retired Army soldier. I have spent a lot of time visiting military museums, monuments, cemeteries, and veterans in both the USA and Europe.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

This class discusses the United States military. The first job of any military is to protect and defend. Therefore, the topic of shooting, death, and injury may come up during each lesson. I do not glamourize killing of anyone foreign, enemy, or citizen during the lesson. Every death is a loss. 
The main goal of this class is to answer questions focused on the history and goals of each branch- not the destruction that has happened in the past or present. 

As a parent of a military member who suffered injury when in combat, I understand fully the dangers of any  military branch or risk a persontakes in  service for their country.
