Corporal Walker: Field Training Officer

For an example, Lieutenant McDonough had to learn how to deal with enlisted men for the first time. His soldiers were used to a distant, unpresent platoon leader who left all the leadership to the non-commissioned officer, so when he arrived, they treated him like a the clueless officer that they had before him. McDonough had to earn trust with his men and show them that he was willing to go out on patrols with them and reprimand them if they were being insubordinate. He struggled with this balance of trust and authority especially with the new soldiers he was sent after losing some of his originals in battle. He knew he had to utilize his NCO platoon sergeant, Hernandez, but Hernandez felt usurped because, when the previous platoon leader was in charge, he had most of the command of the soldiers in battle, and Lieutenant McDonough seemed to have taken some of that from him. McDonough, although having done his job, had to make repairs to that relationship with his

The Human Resources Sergeant has a crucial role in the Profession of Arms. Over the last decades, the Army faced multiples challenges, in which the leaders has

I asked Chief McKinley what positions he felt were the most influential in the department. Chief McKinley believes that Sergeants and Field Training Officers (FTO) are the two most important roles in the department. Both positions are leadership positions and set the culture for the department. Sergeants work closing with patrol and have an influence over them, whether they want to admit it or not. Sergeants must be aware that officers look to them for guidance and mimic their attitude. This is why it is imperative for Sergeants to display a professional attitude at all time. The same can be said for Field Training Officers. FTO 's are responsible for laying the ground work as the example of how to act with the public, suspects, victims, and fellow employees. Both positions must be professional at all times.

Cadet PO3 Scott has repeated minor offenses, to which he has received report chits. He has recently added another, more serious transgression to his record.

As mention before, Corporal Walker spent a great deal of time filling in for training officers, some times training for a entire training phase.

My unit is the A detail or shift. I am currently the sergeant of the detail and have held this position for 10 years. Next in the chain of command is the corporal of the shift. He is responsible for assisting me with the day to day operations of the shift including scheduling time off, evaluating officer, and participating in the disciplining of officers as needed. In my absence, the corporal is responsible for running the shift. There are eight other patrol officers assigned to A detail for a total of ten including myself. Of these eight officers, two are also classified as a Field Training Officer (FTO). They have the responsibility of training new officers in the department.

Allowing officers to volunteer for the FTO position ensures that

Learning and having the Red Cross training has completely been of a great advantage to me. This experience has persuaded me to accomplish a new set of goals in my life, like helping others in need. It also has augmented my knowledge about this important organization. According to what I learned, Clara Barton was the founder of the Red Cross, and the mission of this foundation is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies. This is a worldwide organization that has come to be known internationally, by their basic principles, which are: humanity, impartiality, and neutrality. The Red Cross is partnered with the government, and it offers many different types of services to people. It offers, blood, international, health, disaster, and safety services. The American Red Cross also uses psychology resources and skills to solve some issues. In my Psychology class, I have studied various terms

Webster’s dictionary defines the word profession as a type of job that requires special education, training, or skill. Many Soldiers would not consider the Army as a profession but a way of life. Some think the word profession belongs to everyday jobs like a plumber, mechanic, or doctor. Dr. Don M. Snider stated “the Army is a profession because of the expert work it produces, because the people in the Army develop themselves to be professionals, and because the Army certifies them as such” (Snider, D. M. 2008). In October 2010, the Secretary of the Army directed the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to lead an Army wide assessment of the state of the Army Profession. We have been at war as a Country for over a decade and the Army

I believe that NYLT will make me a more capable leader, because it will prepare me to lead other Scouts in my Troop. I am currently an assistant patrol leader. NYLT will help me better lead as an assistant patrol leader because it will teach me how to more effectively lead in my current position. My current leadership skills are not within my full abilities. In our Troop, we are about to get about ten Webelos from a Cub Scout Pack. I feel like NYLT will help me guide them through the ranks. Also, in our Troop, you must go to NYLT to be a senior patrol leader. finally, I think NYLT will help me make better choices and help me assist in staffing better. In the end, I feel like NYLT would be advantageous to me because it will train me

The Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer states, “No one is more professional than I,” “I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient,” and “All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership.” As America transitions from a nation at war to a nation at the ready, it is imperative as noncommissioned officers, that we remember those responsibilities set forth in the creed in which we live by as we forge our next generation of soldiers and leaders. How we forge our future leaders, train our soldiers, and how we develop ourselves as noncommissioned officers is outlined in Army Regulation 350-1, Army Training and Leader Development. From

I had no idea what I had gotten myself into when I signed that dotted line. I stared out of the bus’s window, stomach in knots afraid she would catch me looking. I decided to put my head back down into my green laundry bag and take a nap. “Maybe it would be as bad as I think it will be,” I said to myself trying to calm my nerves. I was wrong.

The SFC is also known as the Platoon Sergeant. This person has 15-18 years of military experience. This person is expected to bring not only experience, but also accurate decisions to the field all while keeping the best interest of the mission and soldier at heart.
