The Pentagon is shelling out millions of dollars - to coach football.

Three college football coaches are currently the highest-paid employees on the Defense Department's payroll: Army football coach Rich Ellerson, Navy football coach Ken Niumatalolo and Air Force coach Troy Calhoun.

Calhoun raked in $882,000 last year, with Ellerson falling close behind, making $600,000. But Niumatalolo takes the cake as the highest-paid Pentagon employee, earning $1,605,370 in 2012. His salary is almost double Calhoun's salary - the second highest-paid employee.

The Department of Defense isn't exactly seeing bang for its buck, though. The three teams' combined record was 16-22 last season. The Navy Midshipmen was the only team out of the three to finish with a winning season.

And it isn't just the federal government making room in its budget for college coaches. In 40 out of 50 states, the highest-paid public employee is a college coach. In Minnesota, a basketball coach and football coach actually tie as the highest-paid employee on the state's payroll.

In fact, the aforementioned coaches don't even make the list for the 60 highest-paid coaches in college football. But still, their salaries trump the rest of the Pentagon's employees with Vice Chief of Staff John F. Campbell only earning base pay of $220,263.50.

Essay:

Durante mi estancia en España, aprendí un montón de cosas. Me gustó mi familia anfitriona. También aprendí la cultura y fui a una escuela buena. Había muchas actividades que hacer en España y muchos lugares hermosos.

Mi escuela era muy grande. Tomé muchas clases. Mis profesores eran simpáticos y divertidos. Mi escuela ofrece muchas actividades extracurriculares también. Hay muchos deportes de equipo. El equipo de natación y el fútbol eran muy populares en mi escuela. Hay clubes también. Estuve un miembro del club de ajedrez. Había una gran variedad de clubes y deportes en mi escuela.

Mi familia anfitriona era muy simpáticos. Yo tenía un hermano y una hermana. El nombre de mi hermano es Josué y el nombre de mi hermana es Gabriela. Ellos me ayudaron mucho. Teníamos un perro y un gato. Íbamos al restaurante en la ciudad todos los viernes. Mi padre es un médico y mi madre es una maestra.

Para pasar el tiempo hice muchas actividades. Iba en la ciudad y compre muchas cosas. Iba al museo o practicar la guitarra también. Caminar en el parque con mi perro. La ciudad ofrece muchas actividades divertidas y es difícil para escoger. Vi un espectáculo de flamenco y fui al mercado. Me guste mucho viajar en España y explorar la cultura.

Cuando fui de compras en España, fui al mercado, al centro comercial, y en los tiendas en la ciudad. Compre muchas cosas en el Rastro. Hay una variedad de tiendas. Fui a una zapatería en Madrid y una panadería en Barcelona. El mercado era muy ocupado y animado. Eran una experiencia muy diferente.

En la comunidad, hay una biblioteca, un gimnasio, un hospital, un aeropuerto, una comisaria, y una estación de bomberos. Me guste la biblioteca porque hay muchos libros. La policía y los bomberos eran muy simpáticos y útil para la comunidad. Me guste la comunidad mucho y los personas en la comunidad eran simpáticos.

If I continue to further my learning in Spanish, I
of course want to learn how to use the grammar
effectively, I would also like to expand my
vocabulary to lengthen the time I can keep a
conversation. There are many things I would like
to learn in Spanish.

One of my favorite things about this course was to
have the opportunity to explore the Spanish culture
and with the internet at my fingertips, it helped me
expand my horizons. I find so many things very
intriguing about the Spanish culture such as their
laid back lifestyle and schedule, they're architecture,
history, and the types of foods and stores. It is
just overall interesting to learn how people live
their lives and compare it with yours because what
is normal for other countries isn't always particularly
normal in your country/culture.

I have had a funny time with this course complaining
to my family or sister about how different Spanish is
from English so I can say a few things I have ranted
about. (This in no way means I dislike Spanish, I love it!)
Spanish has a different alphabet and adding in the
accents to certain words always felt like a hassle to me.
The thought "Is this word supposed to have an accent?"
was always in my mind during writing assignments. I have
always been told I have been very good at speaking Spanish
but it is hard to make sure you are accentuating a certain
sound in a word and to pick apart different sounds so in
speaking assignments, I had to always make sure I was
saying something with an accent correctly. Another thing
that made my rant at the dinner table was conjugating in
the past, present, and imperfect. This was definitely a new
concept for me. It is a very tedious task to make sure you
are conjugating in the correct tense which isn't as flexible
as it is in English. I have always been aware of the grammar
differences between English and Spanish such as object
pronouns being attached to verbs and etc. Also the way
Spanish describes things is different. Spanish puts the
adjective after the noun. Sentences that contain a question
and capitalization is also very different. I could go on and
on talking about the little things that make both of these
languages so unique and special but I believe I have named
most of the main differences and I am happy that I learned
that through this course.

Throughout this course, I have never stopped
learning something new every day. I have learned
how to explain actions, thoughts, and basic
every day expressions and all in a different
language which is thrilling! I can describe people
such as my family, explain things that were done
in the past, and even talk about chores and foods.
