Dear Student,
Thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below is simulated - meaning, from the information that you have provided above, I shall try to 'create' a Cultural background summary that 'fits' you. It is only a sample; you will have to create something more personal as only you know the necessary details of your own socialization - your own life experience. I can assume a general view of what these are however for the purpose of providing this assistance. It seems to me that you have lived an inspiring life, having seen a lot of the world and experienced events and situations in the military and the cultures you have interacted with from all your travels - a number of Americans can only ever imagine your life experience with many not travelling beyond the borders of their very own town. I have divided the cultural experience into 5 - your own Native American Culture & family situation, the assimilated mainstream American culture you have imbibed via life experience and being part of the US citizenry, The military culture (yes, the military, as a specific social group follows its own set of rules separate from that of civilians), The cultures you have encountered from your travels and the Latin culture inspired and influenced by your wife - a Hispanic Lady. I shall be writing as if 'I was you' at a first-person viewpoint, as this is going to be a self-reflective paper. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I have lengthened this solution beyond 700 words just so you have enough material to use in making your own. A word version is attached for easy printing.

Sincerely,
OTA 105878/Xenia Jones
