1.Training, Acceptance And Moral Courage.The First Failing

Officers, Warrant Officers, and enlisted personnel have had to adapt to a new way of doing business. The language bridging alone from legacy to GCSS-A has relied on the Warrant Officer to educate and train the forces across the Army. This change has also caused a learning gap between those in the field and those detached from

The movie Training Day presents various scenarios of ethical issues and dilemmas. Denzel Washington plays the role of crooked undercover narcotics detective Alonzo Harris, while Ethan Hawke plays new recruit officer Jake Hoyt, who is fighting to do the right thing. Detective Harris believes in street justice while Hoyt disapproves. He exposes officer Hoyt to many situations where he has to decide if he wants to be a part of the team or stand up for justice. Officer Hoyt will have to use his morals and ethical judgment to help him battle through training day.

Almost everyone knows the right things to do. When a bully is picking on a victim, people around them know the right thing to do – stand up for the victim. However, knowing the right thing to do and doing the right thing are two very different things – the difference is courage. This is shown clearly in Ernest Gaines’ novel, A Lesson Before Dying, in Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, and a quote from the movie Hidden Figures. Courage is shown through Grant, Nora, and that “there’s no bathroom for me here” (0:31) from Hidden Figures respectively.

Honor, Courage, and Commitment are not just values I learned in boot camp. They are the guiding principles and morale’s that were instilled in me by my grandfather as a child and by my faith as an adult. Being privileged to the role of a naval officer its essential, that we not only understand these values but that they become our way of life.

There were numerous times were people would try and pressure him into a decision by noting there was no time for indecision. He could keep his calm, cool manner and think a situation through before reacting. I think that being able to think things through no matter the situation speaks volumes to what a leader needs to be. He also showed that not every situation needed to be thought out at that time. He was known to have thought of contingency plans prior to actions as to cut out reaction time needed due to him thinking it through before implementation and able to switch tactics on the fly. He showed this attribute multiple times but one example sticks out in my mind’s eye. We had set up a forward position in Ramadi in what we thought was a hostile minimal area. Once we had set up our hasty area for command and control of an impending raid we came under small arms fire and a mortar attack. He had set up sectors of fire and counter fire areas before we had set up even though we were told numerous times that it was not needed. Due to his intellect, he had taken it into advisement but had planned on it not being as such and we were able to respond in kind and repel any such attack. I learned from him that no matter what happens you need to think things through and show a strong intellect so your soldiers are confident in your decisions and believe in you.

SFC (Ret.) Mark C. Daw is the subject of this Leader’s Legacy paper. SFC Daw served for over twenty years in the United States Army Signal Corps. SFC Daw served during the Cold War in the Berlin Brigade, in Operation Desert Storm, in Bosnia during Implementation Force (I-FOR), and in Operation Iraqi Freedom 04-06. A career paratrooper, SFC Daw’s leadership style involved leading from the front at all times, superior tactical and technical proficiency, a hand of discipline tempered by wisdom, and developing his Soldiers professionally and personally. SFC Daw’s example serves as one worthy of emulation by all Soldiers, regardless of expertise or field. I am the Soldier I am today because of SFC Daw.

The suffering of both mothers, Addie and Mary, fragment the family as well. Mary’s addiction to morphine is hurting her family severely. A majority of the arguments in the Tyrone household are due to it. Her addiction completely changed her personality. She constantly has mood swings and flips out. This causes her to say many things that she doesn’t truly mean, such as blaming her son Jamie for the death of their infant child Eugene, and never forgiving Jamie (O’neill 90). Mary also says she wishes she would not of married Tyrone if she knew how much an alcoholic he is. She also reflects on her time as a young, talented, and single girl and wishes for times like that. The family cannot even trust Mary by herself in fear that she will inject

Throughout my ten years in the military, there have been several people who have influenced me or have shaped my career in some way. One Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) in particular, was Senior Master Sergeant (SMSgt) Timothy Clough. I originally met SMSgt Clough in 2013 when I was a Staff Sergeant (SSG) and he was a Master Sergeant (MSgt). SMSgt Clough arrived at our current unit, Special Operations Command Central (SOCCENT), and placed as the NCOIC for the Iranian Threat Network (ITN) team. Even though SMSgt Clough is in the Airforce, his mentorship and guidance will have far reaching impact on my career. The purpose of this paper is to explain through his actions, character and leadership why SMSgt Clough is a Legacy Leader.

Some things cannot happen in an instant. Some things take time to blossom and grow while others can happen in seconds. Changing personal beliefs or the personality of a person themselves, is one of those that is a process of time. Time that is more detrimental than most of the characters may realize. Throughout A Lesson Before Dying we see changes, whether they are in the form of structure, theme, or even characters, which is one of the most prominent changes we see. Ernest J. Gaines created a story about Jefferson, a young “boy”, who is sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. Who then can supposedly only become a “man” with the help of another “man”. This “man” is Grant Wiggins, a teacher who is only trying to help others but doesn’t

The result was that we’ve ended up with a command structure is top-heavy with guys who looked good in uniform and talked right and did well enough not to embarrass themselves, while the really good ones quietly did all the serious work and bailed out our superiors and got blamed for errors they had advised against until they eventually got out.”

The essay centers around three different case histories each of which involves another one of the Acts. The three different Acts are the QLD Health & Safety Acts 2011, which applies to Scenario 1, the the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety Act 2004) which applies to Scenario 2 and the Western Australian Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994, which applies to Scenario 3.... The following essay serves to define the three different Acts and contrast one to the other.

Safety First is a phrase most have heard throughout their career, but what impact does that have when there is an increase of safety incidents on base? Newly appointed safety officers inherit any outstanding safety challenges as well as any benchmark programs that brings safety to light. However, if the program is broken the safety officer must utilize the skills harbored within assigned personnel to make a difference for the betterment of the wing. As the new wing safety officer, I have been tasked to eradicate the trends in safety mishaps and make sure there is a process in place to prevent future occurrences. This paper will outline an

Dees highlights several crucial concepts regarding resilient leadership in Chapters 3 and 4. The quality of leadership largely determines the overall upward or downward direction of a company. A resilient leader has the ability to influence people to willingly put forth effort to achieve a goal, which is at the core of being a leader. The most effective leaders recognize how to influence subordinates while moving forward with an effective plan that will benefit all involved. The three most important concepts from Chapter 3 and 4 are integrity, courage, and wisdom.

The aim of this essay is to determine the inevitability of organisational accidents. An organisational accident is defined as an undesired or potentially disastrous event that is caused by the decisions and actions of the company. This essay will argue that organisational accidents cannot be avoided. As a first step, this essay will detail Perrow’s Normal Accident Theory in which he asserts that the implementation of complex systems by organisations / companies has resulted in unpreventable organisational accidents. The 2011 Fukasmi nuclear accident will be explained to support this assertion. As a second step, human error by those in the organisation as a factor which causes accidents will be analysed through Reason’s
