Army ROTC: A Personal Statement Of Purpose

I would like to be in the Marine Corps JROTC program because it will be able to help me learn the basic elements and the need for national security and my personal obligation as an American. The Marine Corps JROTC program will also help me strengthen initiative and individuality to establish natural gifts, to teach me self-control, progress personal character, responsibility and aspect of integrity, loyalty, and dedication. This program sparked my interest as I know that it is highly beneficial and can teach or promote positive, productive behaviors. With this program, I learned that the Marine Corps JROTC cadets arrive everyday, have higher participation in class, are role models for avoiding substance abuse, have higher self-respect, develop

In the present of JROTC many students join in the thought of maybe one day joining the military and working up to it and getting prepared. They learn strategies and learn how to build their strengths and weaknesses up while learning time management and how to understand people and become a good leader. Prepare for marches and ceremonies and then you go out and actually participate in those activities. JROTC also has many school activities to join like the raiders team, color guard, and

My experience in JROTC was great. Will help me to know more about the history of US, have patriotism, self-reliance and be responsible improve the ability to communicate oral and in writing have the knowledge of team building and basic military skills

Ideal- The Marines Embody more of my personal views and ideals then the other branches of the armed services.

The concept of purpose best describes why I want to become a Naval Officer. Throughout high school, I have cherished my opportunities to lead teams towards the accomplishment of meaningful goals, such as collecting life-saving blood for nearby hospitals, and assisting struggling students and community members. These service opportunities are deeply meaningful to me, but as I have learned from my grandfather, who served in the U.S. Army during World War Two, my step-father, a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, and my other grandfather, who served as a Naval Officer during the Vietnam

My experience with JROTC began my freshman year at Forestville Military Academy through my senior year at Parkdale High School. At the very beginning of this opportunity i realized that i enjoyed participating in JROTC more and more everyday that passed. Only problem, like others was the uniform. Of course they were uncomfortable a first but then you get used to it. You get to make the uniform yours. It's almost like a new set of skin that sooner or later you're gonna have to get used to it.Slowly everyday you get a little more used to the way of obeying to the rules. This experience has been the most absolute fun experience of my entire high school memories. Favorite things to do was anything involving JROTC. From community service to

My Mother and Father relocated from Costa Rica to New York City where they met got married and where I was born. When I was just two years old, always wanting the best for us, my father moved our family from New York City to Jacksonville, FL in search of a better paying job and the American dream so he could provide us with a better quality of life. To ensure we were always clothed and feed, my father sacrificed everything for us and worked long hours to do so. Though I did have a pronounced, safe and active upbringing the North Florida school system didn’t expect much from the Hispanics that were starting to move to the then small town; unfortunately since my parents worked so much they expected the school system

I would like to be a part of the WSU Army ROTC program because I have a lot of potential to offer and I want to develop into a full fledged Army officer. The military path is something I have always wanted to pursue since junior year of high school. The influence of growing up in a Navy family helped shaped my decision to enlist in the Army National Guard. I was fortunate enough to be advanced from PV2 to PFC at the end of BCT on November 2016. During Initial Entry Training I realized that my goals and beliefs were aligned with beliefs such as the Army Values and LDRSHIP principles. After learning about the Army values and LDRSHIP principles, I integrated these beliefs into my everyday life as a soldier and a working student.

Becoming a NJROTC cadet has taught me many things, things that I know will be useful later in life. Obedience, loyalty, and leadership are many qualities that I have obtained while being in NJROTC. Having a structure system in place helps with motivation and determination in having a foundation set up as growing as one. I remember coming into class my first day nervous, anxious, and ready to start learning. I watched others take on responsibilities like teaching us how to march and how to set up our uniforms properly.

Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in the MCJROTC Raider Battalion. This program has greatly developed my leadership abilities and my ability to use leadership to benefit the whole unit instead of just myself. This is where JROTC really made me a better leader – it honed my ability to lead as part of a team. This year, I am the

The JROTC is a place where men and women of high ethics and values are forged with care and sturdiness; it is a second home for many. The JROTC, short for (The United States Army) Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, has been living in our school system for 100 years and has created various great citizens of our country since. The program has its roots in the National Defense Act of 1916 and its purpose has varied in the past 100 years from one thing to the other, yet the strive to make the best out of every single cadet has been engraved into the program and the people in it since day one.

When we go to future parades I want to learn new chants to represent our school. In JROTC I want to learn what you need in your resume when applying for a university and what will look good on it, so I can get a higher chance to get into that university. I would like to know what you need to do in JROTC to get a better chance at a college and for how long you have to do something in ROTC. I would like to try to do team building exercises so students in are class get to know each other better and communicate well, so when we get older it would be easy for us to do simple tasks. I think our class should communicate more so we can build strong friendships and accomplish a task together in class. I learned a lot in JROTC it changed me a lot; my personality changed and I became a better leader and I build better friendship and my leadership skills improved a lot. I want to learn what other things JROTC haves to offer that isn’t related to drill, rifle, etc. I want to know what soldiers have to go through when they are sent to war and how they adapt to their surroundings when they go to war. I want to learn about what the president thinks about the wars and how many soldiers they send to defend this country. I’m curious on the chain of command people have to follow to contact the

I feel that becoming an officer would better me as an individual and as a soldier. It would teach me many more leadership skills and how to act in such positions. I chose to go this route because I have never been a follower. I feel that I was born to lead and I took up my opportunity to join ROTC and become that leader that I know I can be. I feel that me being an officer is the perfect thing for me. I have great leadership skills and have no problems motivating and being a great example to others. I am not shy of speaking in front of people and do well with giving orders. Being an officer requires you to ne an outstanding person and that is who I see myself to be. I feel that I will be great at making important decisions in stressful situations. Becoming an officer will be a great way for me to learn how to be calmer and not so quick to lash out. I feel that it will teach me patience and show me that no leader is perfect. It is in me to lead and teach others. I believe in being greater and expanding who I am through experiences and learning to press forward. I feel that being a commissioned officer will allow me great opportunities in my civilian life and help further my

For the future I will be joining the Marine Corps where I will have some sort of purpose. I believe that the “most celebrated figures have always been those who stuck their necks out the farthest and” lived (Krakauer 233). Thats what I shall be doing in the Corps to keep me distracted and

Hello, I am Cadet Senior Chief Petty Officer Lisjaneidys Colon. As the highest ranking noncommissioned officer I am the mentor of the unit or as some call it the “big sister” to all cadets. This is my fourth year in JROTC. I spent my first year in the army unit at East High School and transferred to Service High School my sophomore year. My future goal is to help people by joining the medical field. I also strive to be completely fluent in four languages. I love jokes, music, and Target runs. Lastly, I will give my best effort to improve the unit as much as possible.
