Finding Paragraph #2

I am interested in knowing what will happen if I get in injuried. Injuries may take time to get better. This severe injuries may include strains, sprains, and broken bones. If a recruit gets injured they will be sent to a rehabilitation platoon and get motivation to continue to get training. This means if I get injuried in the Marines I will have to rehabilitate.

Finding Paragraph #1

 I am interested in knowing how much I will make when I retire from being a Marine Sniper. It is important to know how much I will make when retire so I can know how much I will be able to spend. I want to be able to have some fun when I retire. This is why my retirement pay is important.All of retirement systems are similar because they base your pension a percentage of your daily pay.

If you serve for a total of 40 years you are eligible for 100% of your daily pay. After that they are not really similair.

Quote, Paraphrase, and Citation #4

Quote: From conventional warfare to counter-insurgency and disaster relief, Marines are the first to deploy on a wide array of missions. If you earn our title, you will be superbly prepared to handle each one. This is the training required to face down the threats of our time at the tip of our nation's spear. Prevail, and you will gain more than the ability to withstand adversity.

Paraphrase: The U.S Marine Corp is the first ones to go to war. If you are trained like you are supposed to be, you be able to handle these missions. The training you will get will prepare you for everything you will face.

Quote, Paraphrase, & Citation #3

Quote: "All of these retirement systems have a common thread: if you stay in the armed forces for 20 or more years, you are eligible to receive a pension based on a percentage of your basic pay, and if you stay in for a 40 years, you are eligible for 100% of your basic pay. But that's where the similarities end and the confusion really begins, because each of these systems determines your amount of pension differently."

Paraphrase: All of retirement systems are similar because they base your pension a percentage of your daily pay.  

If you serve for a total of 40 years you are eligible for 100% of your daily pay. After that they are not really similair.

What I already know about my topic

The topic I chose to research is The United States Marine Corp. I already know some things about the       Marines. You have to have a high school diploma to join. After you get your diploma you have to go to basic training. Since I want to be a sniper I will have to go to sniper school for six weeks. The Marine ofer collage. I want to get at least a two year degree. This is basically all I know.

The story behind my topic choice

The topic I chose to research is the United States Marine Corp. I chose this topic because I think they are cool. When I graduate high school I plan to join the Marines. When I join I plan to go to college to get a degree. When I get done with college in the Marines I want to go to sniper school to be a Marine sniper. I want to be a sniper because I want to go behind enemies line and get out as fast as I can.
