We want to gain vast amounts of knowledge, to give back to the world. With Computer Science, the intention is to get my degree and work for the government in providing a better future and safer place for others. An Army recruiter approached me in Georgia before I transferred to Spokane, who told me of the Mavni program. But, due to the circumstances of academic pursuit, I couldn’t join the United State Army, I had to move to Whitworth, Spokane, Washington. A few months after arriving in Spokane, I and my sister both got an email from the international office at Whitworth to join the Army through the Mavni program, and I thought this must be fate, God must want me to join, so I did. I was able to join due to high ASVAB score. I passed my Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) in the Yoruba Language. I got my Military Occupation Specialties (MOS) as a Watercraft operator (88K) as a Private First Class (E3 army rank), which basically means I work as an operator and a deckie on the Logistic Support Vessel (LSV-3, Army Ship) at the 805th Transportation Detachment in the US Army Reserve Unit while pursuing my undergraduate degree in computer science. I am a senior now at Whitworth and would be looking at graduating next spring.

By taking time to finish my commitment to school, I believe I built a foundation of knowledge, skills, and attributes that make me an excellent Army WOFT candidate. Completing this milestone in my life has shown my dedication to my goals regardless of the hurdles presented. My time spent on the Dean’s List proves I am willing to go above and beyond the expectations of an average student. My roles as a teacher, trainer, and leader have proven I am determined to take initiative, can manage my time and facilitate the learning of 20 or more individuals, while also organizing paperwork and planning instruction daily. These skills will easily transfer over to aviation and provide the foundation to build a competent officer and aviator for planning, organizing, and initiating flight missions. I believe that I am fully capable of completing and excelling at the challenges presented in the program. I want to satisfy my aspiration of service, tradition, and aviation by being able to call myself a Warrant Officer

I completed my first combat deployment to Iraq in 2007 with the Minnesota Army National Guard. Until that time I was what many describe as a “weekend warrior,” meaning I had a career in operations management outside the military and spent one weekend per month in my army boots. While I had always been proud of my service to my nation, after that 22-month deployment I recognized that my real passion lay with the military. After I returned in 2007, I adjusted my commitment from weekend warrior to full-time Active Guard Reserve Soldier. Since pursuing my career with the Minnesota Army National Guard I have thrived, being promoted ahead of my peers, taking on numerous leadership positions, and making challenging decisions that affect hundreds to

Exceeding the standard in military training programs, such as JROTC, has taught me how to lead from the front while becoming a team player. Coming from a long line of servicemen before me, I have been instilled with the selfless service mentality and the will do attitude towards anything placed in front of me. Also coming from a background mostly based on Army and Marine service has allowed me the chance to branch out and want to serve as a Special Tactics Officer in the U.S. Air Force with full support. Being the Raider Commander for over two years now in my JROTC has given me the ability to lead a group of cadets to bring home the Sandhurst

I initially thought I would not fit into the Brigade because everyone would be more talented both academically and physically than me, but I have learned that if I try my hardest than I have nothing to regret. I approach every day with the mindset that I will give it my all, and by building on my strengths and natural talents, I have been successful thus far at the academy. Over the next three years, I will continue to develop myself so I can become the best officer I can be. I realize that the challenges that are presented to me every day are miniscule compared to the challenges many people around the world face. I am committed to the Naval Academy because what I do today affects how well I will be able to lead

My role in the military has not had the advantages of going to school as often as I would have liked. My final push to complete my program was abruptly interrupted last year. I was notified on March 2014 that I would deploy to Afghanistan on May 2014 to support SOCOM for 12 months. This was a similar setback on top of others in the past.

It is hard to believe that my time in the Kansas State University Army ROTC program is almost over. Although four years have passed, it feels like just yesterday I was a young Freshman trying to figure out who to call “sir” and who to call “sergeant.” I have definitely grown through these four years, having good experiences and bad. I have had the opportunity to be instructed by both good and bad officers and non-commissioned officers and been able to partake in very unique, once-in-a lifetime training. It is hard to list all of my experiences and training, a short list would include: FTXs, various live fires at Ft. Riley, Ranger Challenge, Ranger Buddy, CTLT, CULP, five marathons all in different states, and of course each instructor’s unique

I expect everyone to take advantage of the Army’s education programs. Formal military schools like Non Commissioned Officers Education System (NCOES) and Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) schools are the tip of the iceberg. If NCOES and ASI schools are mandatory for the next promotion or for your position, you need to attend that school at the earliest opportunity. I insist you take correspondence courses to gain familiarization in other MOS’s. This will provide you a broader understanding of the military jobs and their roles and responsibilities. Lastly, I expect everyone to take advantage of your education benefits. It has helped with my critical thinking and writing skills. The Army is expecting these skills in its leaders and I will

There is a lot that can be said about me and where I come from. I like to describe myself as a kind, open minded person that can be easy to get along with, that is always seeking to gain higher knowledge. I have many interests that include theatre, tennis, reading, Science fiction, games, and debating.

My family is very close and each of us supports each other with what they want to achieve and being the oldest I want to lead a path for each of my siblings and demonstrate that anyone can achieve their dreams.

The majority of my lower enlisted years were spent shredding documents, retyping memorandums, and updating addresses and phone numbers. Little did I know what I was learning over time was how to account for sensitive information, work alongside the commander to ensure unit readiness, and strength management. The more I trained in my profession the more I learned to train others and become not only an asset to my section but to unit. I now feel proud and can walk tall knowing that the love I have for being an HR professional shows through my work and I can do said work during peacetime and more importantly, during

After finishing the semester with A's on my transcript and solidifying the school's reputation as a top cross-country force, I decided that my best option was to return home and resume a normal high school experience. The revolutionary training and extensive study habits I adopted have stuck with me, and I am more understanding of myself after delving into many unique perspectives. Although I no longer have a shaved head to stare at in the mirror, I will always retain the positive traits that I adopted while at military

There is a point in a Soldiers career where you have to make a decision that best suits you. In 2007, the Army Acquisitions Corps (ACC) offered me the opportunity to be a part of something new. Having already been actively involved in the acquisition community, providing for the war fighter, and feeling a sense of accomplishment in doing so, there was an internal sense of pride in being a part of the newest Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) in the United States Army, 51C; Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology Non-Commissioned Officer (ALTNCO). Making the transition into a new career would greet me with a number of trials and tribulations that lead me down a path of self-analysis and unit
