I accpet your app and account, but as a Corporal as there were a couple of misspellings and tense changes, I mean you even misspelled the rank you asked for.

Character History:
Benjamin Angelo Campagna was born on June 5th 1923 in the Brooklyn, New York. Benny was a natural born leader, having many friends from around his neighborhood in Bensonhurst. After the attack on Pearl Harbor Benny believed it was it duty as an American to join up in the service.
Benny joined the United States Army and went through basic training. After volunteering as squad leader, Benny knew that thats what he wanted to be in the Army. He wanted to be a Leader, the guy his men can trust and count on.
With the completion of basic training Benny was made a Private First Class for his skills on the rifle range and his great leadership qualities. It was then that Benny was going to start his training at Camp Toccoa. Georgia. It was there that he skills were really pushed to the test.
Benny was placed in Easy Company of the 506 under Colonel Sink. Benny was a favorite of his commanding officer Lieutenant Sobal soon made Captain. Though Sobal gave him a hard time, he became stronger for it having run Currahee so many times. Though Benny struggled he remained at the top of his Company.
After receiving his jump wings he was promoted again to Corporal. He was then sent to England. Once at England he was one step closer to jumping into Normandy. While his stay in England Easy Company was to complete more training. It was then his skills as a leader really showed during the combat training.
Before his Jump into Normandy Benny was made a Sargent and a squad leader. This put so much pressure on him. He had these men's life in his hands. They depended on him and they seeked his guidance.
Military Rank:
Sargent
Writing Sample:
Standing up in the loud roaring plane Benny's face glowing in the red light. "Get ready!" he shouted,getting the men's attention. " Stand up!" he said and they stood up. " Hook up." He ordered. The men latched on and he then told the guys to do an equipment check point to his shoulders doing the hands signs. " Sound off for equipment check." He ordered and as he listened to them sound off he could feel a rumble in the engines. He could see fire from out the door. We have been hit he thought to himself as he looked in hoping the green light would come on.
The Green light was switched it was now the point of no return. " Go, go, go ,go go, go." Benny shouted as the men jumped out of the plane. I was the last to go and as I leaped from the plane I could see the horrific sight of whats going on outside. Planes were burning men alive or blowing up and crashing.
Benny hit the ground hard and once he got his shoot and stuff off. He realized that he was next to a dead man. Benny lost his weapons in the jump so he took the dead troopers. Alone in enemy territory, Benny realized that he needed to find his men and find them fast so that they could compete the objective.
Making his way through the landscape Benny could hear the sounds of the crackling brush behind him. His instincts were telling him someone was behind him but he dare not look. Benny just got real low to the ground and made his way towards light. He wanted to find his squad and the rest of Easy Company. Maybe Winters would find him.
