Candidate McCormick demonstrated a fair understanding of the Five Paragraph Order format. Though SNC mentioned all the paragraphs, the details weren't germaine. SNC briefed the contents of Administration and Logistics as that of Command and Signal and vice versa. SNC was confident during the delivery of the order to the Fire Team but that demeanor weaned at the moment of execution of the exercise. SNC did not formulate a plan prior to execution and blindly commenced the exercise without delegating responsibility to Fire Team members. SNC attempted to perform tasks without communicating to or supervising the Fire Team. Towards the seven minute mark of the exercise, SNC looked exhausted and could not think through the problem. SNC did not maintain
Candidate Perras delivered the five paragraph order in the correct order and covered all details; however, he did tend to take long pauses that did not allow for the order to flow. During the execution phase, SNC lost sight of the tactical mindset by allowing a member to pass off his weapon. Even though the fire team remained focused on accomplishing the mission, at times they seemed lathargic. SNC maintained solid communication with the security. Upon realizing that his initial plan of attack was not going to work, he quickly devised a new plan without hesitation. He was able to use all of the fire team members effectively and they followed his lead without hesitation or conflict. SNC remained calm and confident and there was no question
Candidate Caughran delivered his 5 paragraph order phenomenally. SNC ensured to cover all information as it was relayed to him, as well as add information regarding the terrain and climate conditions. SNC displayed the utmost confidence, through the inflection in his voice as well as the assertiveness used when assigning tasks to the fire team. During the execution, SNC positioned himself properly so that he was able to direct the team. He encountered minor error when the team reached the friction point. His position was no longer effective and he was forced to become more hands on with the mission. Once hands on SNC was able to help his team progress forward, and prevent any casualties. SNC posted security before and during the execution,
Candidate McKenzy demonstrated and understanding on how to conduct a five paragraph order but omitted key information throughout the entirety of the brief. SNC displayed he was somewhat confident with his brief by his calm demeanor using a conversational tone during his brief. SNC stated there is no need for security prior to conducting his brief. The scheme of maneuver was vague, and non-executable without further guidance. The tasking statement stated basic billet assignments as who was the ready, fire and the assist.

Upon the first friction point, SNC remained calm and was able to devise a new plan and maintained
Candidate Dechane briefed a complete order despite being visibly nervous and shaky. His summary version of the mission statement was incorrect and he attempted to use the orientation to brief his mission. He realized that he still needed to brief the rest of his order and covered all the items, but out of order. His lack of confidence during the order was quickly shed during execution where he utilized mission type orders. His lack of an initial plan caused a delay in execution while he developed a plan. Once he finally formulated a plan, Candidate Dechane became the obvious leader of his team. He received suggestions that he would effectively vet and use as necessary to adjust his plan on the go. Candidate Dechane's confidence during the
Candidate Hairston was confident and thorough when briefing his order. Although confident and thorough while briefing, Candidate Hairston failed to ask fire team members if they had any questions at the end of his brief. This caused a little confusion, leaving fire team members with unanswered questions. Prior to the execution phase SNC posted security and ensured security was able to hear everything in the event he had to replace a fire team member. During the start execution phase, SNC did not utilize the gear provided and attempted to use his fire team members as a means to traverse the obstacle. For more than two and a half minutes, fire team members were standing around waiting for direction, not progressing towards mission accomplishment,
I am writing in reference to Bryan Canterbury and his practicum application. I have known Bryan for (___) years as his neighbor. I have found him to be a hard worker who is self-motivated, reliable and punctual. For example, Bryan works fulltime at nights and attends schools fulltime and still manages to maintain a 3.89 GPA, which requires dedication and motivation to achieve. In addition, I had set up a meeting with him and a doctor at the CDC, and he arrived more than 30 minutes before the scheduled time. This speaks volume about his abilities to be punctual. Bryan is an outstanding person with great leadership qualities.
Candidate Schainholz spent five of the ten minutes allotted to negotiate the obstacle briefing the five paragraph order. It was apparent that SNC was uncertain in his ability to properly convey the required information to his subordinates. Candidate Schainholz successfully covered every aspect of the order but found it necessary to brief it twice. Furthermore, SNC was communicating almost at a whisper and was directed to speak up several times by the evaluator. After realizing how much time he had spent briefing, SNC began to rush to generate a plan for the execution phase that created confusion among his team. Tasking statements were unclear and his plan was obscure. Regardless of the limited time his team had to complete the obstacle, Candidate
Candidate MaCleish demonstrated an understanding of the order process by presenting an order with a detailed scheme of maneuver and tasking statements for each team member to easily follow. SNC maintained a tactical awareness by posting security. Once the mission began, SNC realized his initial plan wasn’t going to work and everything started to slow down.

The exercise was designed so that everyone is assigned to an executive position in PB Technologies. Then, everyone has to choose his or her candidate individually before we attend the executives meeting to come up with a single candidate. My position in the organization was the VP of Marketing. Once I received the exercise’s handout, I read it carefully, compared the three candidates’ resumes and then decided to nominate Suzanne T. Valdes for the Senior VP of Finance and CFO position. I based my decision on the fact that she has the most related work experience and personality to the position, EMBA and she is an insider, which I believe is a very important quality for that position.
Candidate Espinos briefed the situation according to the five paragraph. SNM used his skeleton effectively to cover admin and logistic and command and signal which were not on my initial brief. SNC posted security but did not give him any specific instruction or check on them throughout the evaluation. SNC developed a plan and briefed his team effectively. SNC then tasked a candidate to cross body his weapon and navigate the obstacle. SNC did not address the fact that his candidate had not tied his boots and had his weapon on incorrectly preventing the candidate from being able to accomplish his part of the mission. SNC made adjustments as needed to get his team to the other side. SNC inspired a sense of urgency and mission accomplishment.
SNC briefed all required sections of the five paragraph order; however, throughout his brief SNC seemed hesitant and paused a few times. SNC spoke in a steady voice and his brief was thorough; however, his brief was long, unhurried and it seemed that SNC could not communicate his ideas clearly to his team, causing his brief to take up majority of his mission. SNC did not communicate a well detailed plan on how they were going to accomplish the mission; rather he just restated that they needed to get across the broken bridge and in the order they were going to go in. Due to his initial slow tempo, SNC and his team did not move with a sense of urgency during the execution their mission. Just like he briefed his order, SNC kept a steady but
SNC had a good command presence, clear and concise tone of voice, and maintained eye contact with his FT while briefing. The SOM given contained no executable information and was actually nothing more than the Coordinating Instructions. Once the execution began, SNC started giving clear and concise orders. When SNC remained quiet as the FT was negotiating the obstacle, one of the FT members began giving commands and SNC did not make any attempts to belay him. SNC had a hard time making adjustments to his plans. After sending a FT member to the other side of the obstacle and realizing this provided no advantage he had the FT member return. Instead of adjusting, SNC sent another FT member across with the exact same result. Once again another
Candidate Lucchesi failed to address higher or supporting in friendly situation. He briefed coordinating instructions information as his scheme of maneuver, addressed coordinating instructions as 'none', and also failed to issue tasks to his team members. SNC did not use the order effectively to communicate his plan. He lacked command presence during his brief, showing that he was not comfortable with the orders process or how the information was to be organized. The lack of clear initial guidance to his team members in the order required the creation of a plan at the start of the execution, delaying initial progress. After friction was first encountered, the team leader lost momentum due to the delay in adjusting the plan and re-engaging the
The author's style kept me engaged during the whole book, other than the first few chapters. The writing structure was perplexing at first, being written from the third person until the story started being told from the protagonist’s perspective. Other than that, Joss Stirling had great writing structure and a brilliant, yet slightly cliché storyline. Joss’s style of writing and vivid details made the book very imaginable and easy to picture. What I admire about Stirling is how she was able to make such a fictional book seem so realistic to the point that it even made me question if telepathy and mind reading could possibly exist. I’ve never read a book that encompassed paranormal phenomena, and this book definitely exceeded my expectations
The applicants had a phenomenal presentation. Peter was clear and concise and confronted the issues from the start. This left their rebuttal time to mainly attend to the community’s issues and few questions from the commissioners. The Planning Commission performed equally as well. Ryan played the role as case
