Becoming An Officer

The personal experiences I have had along the way have aided in shaping my character. For example, this year I had the privilege of being elected to the board of my school’s National French Honor Society. Our induction ceremony for new members was taking place and much preparation had to be done in a short amount of time. As a new board member, I took charge and made sure every detail of the ceremony was perfect. From decorations, food, audio and video, I did it all. My teacher and head of the honor society was very impressed by my leadership and “take charge” approach that she appointed me the new President of the French Honor Society for the 2015-2016 school years. That event allowed me to see my true potential as someone who works well with others as a leader, and my ability to work under pressure to achieve results. I have always strived to be the best I can be and excel at whatever task I set out to do. By having the opportunity to attend The United States Naval Academy, it would allow me to continue to challenge myself academically as well as strengthen my leadership and discipline. I would also be honored to serve my country as an officer, giving back to this great country that has been so good to me and my family for generations. All of my life I have been told that I am a very determined individual with a strong presence and desire to lead. It only seems right that I further develop myself

FFA is all about making member into better leaders. These leaders later on become an officer just like the ones that taught them life lessons on communication, teamwork, and citizenship. To become a member or officer of the FFA you must go through either an easy or difficult process. Either office you decide to go with will be an experience you wouldn’t want to pass up.

As an officer in the United States Army, it has been imperative for me to understand every facet of leadership and why it remains important to be an effective leader. During this course, I have learned some valuable lessons about myself as a leader and how I can improve on my leadership ability in the future. The journal entries along with the understanding of available leadership theories have been an integral part of my learning during this course. For all of the journals and assessments that I completed, I feel it has given me a good understanding of my current leadership status and my future potential as a leader. All of the specific assessments looked at several areas in regards to leadership; these assessments covered several

I want to become an Army officer because I long for a career that will provide continual professional development opportunities while pushing me to reach my full potential as a leader, and will also position me to make a positive impact globally. I believe that by becoming an Army officer I can accomplish this because I have seen the success of those that have gone before me. I come from a family of people who have served in our nation’s military, and their lives are a testimony to the renowned individuals that the Army produces.

For the past four years, I have been heavily involved with agriculture. I have been an officer in the Burley FFA Chapter, managed my own farming operation, worked for different farmers, and learned many new skills that will help me in college and beyond.

I have learned from fellow classmates and peers on how to become a selfless leader and follower thinking of others above myself. Throughout my four years of high school, I’ve been a part of many clubs, some that I am still involved in and some with important leadership positions. My main motive in getting involved with my community and school is to improve our school and community. In AFJROTC I have done over 250 hours of community service just within ROTC and have done over 1,000 community service throughout my community and school. I believe in selfless actions to help benefit my neighbor and peer to overall make us both superior. I am currently the Steele’s National Honors Society President, a Flight (class) commander and squadron (leader of all flights) commander, Business manager for 2017-2018 Squire magazine, Class of 2018 reporter (class officer). I have key positions in many clubs and organizations that have over this year improved and exceeded expectations. As I am a Leader, I have learned to become a respected, caring, strong-willed, straight forward, and reputative leader. I learned this mostly from the direction and teaching of Steele High School making me the leader I am

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

A USMA cadet and U.S. Army Officer is highly prolific and well versed in the field of leadership and ethics. Graduates of the United States Military Academy are expected to educate, train, and inspire the future of the U.S. Army, a task nearly impossible to fulfill without the sound principles needed to excel as a USMA cadet. An effective leader is more than just a manager telling others what and how to think and act. An effective leader must utilize the strengths and weaknesses of his or her group in order to efficiently accomplish goals, tasks, or undertakings. Thus it is the responsibility of every USMA cadet and U.S. Army Officer to specialize in the field of leadership and ethics.

During my college experience, I decided to enlist in the United States Coast Guard Reserves. I left for basic training the summer after my sophomore year and took on a completely different kind of challenge. In this environment, I was surrounded by many leadership styles, some of which I had never seen before. There were leaders that were outspoken, driven, hardworking, and motivated to

Life changing experiences through extracurricular activities have given me the opportunity to discover my passion for leadership and service. Prominently my initial experiences while volunteering for Civil Air Patrol have shown me a life dedicated to service is unmeasurably rewarding especially when given the opportunity to lead your peers. Mentoring my followers and learning from their experiences have been so remarkable and rewarding. Deciding to pursue opportunities to lead and serve, the possibility of serving the United States of America as a commissioned officer was perfect. The idea of becoming a professional leader and warrior defending the nation and the ideals behind it would be a dream come true. Seeing the path of an officer fit my goals flawlessly, an education provided by service academy was severely

My time in the military has shown me that I have a need for order and discipline. I want to instill this trait into my subordinates and affectively give them the tools to succeed and complete the mission both home and abroad. I lead from the front and never leave those willing to strive for betterment. My plan involves completing my degree and obtaining the knowledge level needed to effectively take care of and train my replacements in true values, pride in ownership and family values. A stepping stone is that anyone can learn from anyone, even if it’s what not to do. I challenge myself to right all the wrong styles of leadership that I have experienced throughout my career and be that exception to the policy/good ole boy club members. The Air Force can change with assistance from those willing to make the change. I have given blood for my countries ideals and know I will give my every effort to help produce the most capable and experience airmen for the purpose set by our CINC. I

I am a competent, hardworking American. My leadership qualities will further evolve by training and experiences of becoming a United States Army Officer.

These qualities,

As a one grows up, you can’t help it but dream of becoming the craziest things. I saw myself becoming a lot of things in life. Although, I was never able to stick to one thing and kept going with it. I was always changing my mind up about what I wanted to be in life, what I saw myself as an adult. I wasn’t the smartest in school but I my grades always spoke for themselves and I always tended to learn from my experiences and others peoples as well. I thought about becoming a law enforcement officer, to becoming a great chef and tasting foods from all around the world. I guess I wanted to become those things because I loved watching them on T.V. and sort of saw cooking more as a hobby then a profession. Unfortunately it wasn’t

In order to be a military police officer in the Army National Guard, a soldier must go through all the mental and physical examinations to determine if they are mentally and physically fit to be a military police officer. The soldier will be expected to meet the height and weight requirements set by military officials.

I have been a child of an active duty marine my entire life. I have grown up military, living on a military base, attending school with other military children, all things military. The criminal justice field that I have selected for this project is a Military Police Officer, as we call it on base and MP. I believe that is the best form of police officer to be; no offense to civilian police officers. By being a Military Police Office one is able to serve your country as well as protecting other military members, their families, and the local community. I feel that the training I would receive through the Military Police would be very well rounded and I would learn a great deal through
