Usually it's just a personal history with reasons why you joined, and what you plan to do with your career. ANd yes, your course staff will read (they're actually quite amusing). It's to give the staff an idea of who they are teaching and who to look out for. If someone has had a troubled past for whatever reason, they may have to be watched a little more carefully then others. Your autobiographies should be placed in your course files. At the end of your course when you sign your course report, have a look through your file, and you should find it on the left hand side near the bottom of the stack. If you wrote 4 biographies, and only 1 is in there, then the staff was just cocking you for their own amusement. It happens. When I was a new recruit I had to write a bi

    CHAPTER 1

    Wings


    The flier's name was Lincoln Beachy, and he flew through the San Francisco sky in a machine called an aer-o-plane. The twenty-eight-year-old Ohioan was hailed as "the flying fool," drawing thousands of spectators to the Panama-Pacific utställning.

    "Reading Lady of the Army was like reading an encyclopedia! It was not only that there was so much material, but that it was all interesting, informative, and relevant. Stefanie Van Steelandt brought Beatrice Ayer Patton back to life as a multifaceted person with so many talents that she could not be appreciated fully if she were only known as "Mrs. George".
