Writing Prompts: Armed Forces

Armed Forces Day was this past Saturday. This is a day when we honor and celebrate the people who put their lives on the line to ensure that we are safe. Every nation has a version of Armed Forces day. In the United States that day is designated as the third Saturday of May. It was intended to replace the individual military honor day (i.e. Army Day, Navy Day) but those individual days are still celebrated within the individual services.

This week’s theme will focus on the military, armed forces and general scrapping on a national, global and even universal level.

1. Write about the first day of basic training in the Roman Army.

2. Write about a woman leaving her family behind to go to battle.

3. Write about an Earth invasion of another planet.

4. Write about a new service of the military. Psychic warriors.

5. Write about a colonel about to retire from a long tenure with the military.
