It was an honor to serve. Thank you very much. That is extremely motivating to know that you were born on the Marine Corps Birthday and very awesome about your name. I appreciate you sharing that with me. You were very fortunate to had already of had that rapport with your team members. Unfortunately, I got thrown into my position right out of MOS school because I had to replace a Staff NCO that was getting processed out of the Marines for stealing from the Battalion and trying to sell the items on EBay. I think the moment where things became easier and natural is when the Battalion Sergeant Major ripped me a new one for not meeting a deadline that held up a series of training events. This was when my team was extremely dysfunctional
As a Non-Commissioned Officer or NCO in the United States Army National Guard I work with many teams from the lowest level of squad to company and battalion levels. As a Drill Sergeant I worked with a team or Drills to instruct and mold future soldiers. We where also expected to operate independently with very little supervision from upper leadership. We instructed on many different things such as basic Army tasks and skills. As a Soldier we are expected to be managers and take care of the soldiers under us, as a team leader in Afghanistan I took care of three Soldiers under me. I was part of a route Clearance Patrol or RCP team that went out early in the morning and cleared major roads of road bombs and other blockages. In the army working together as a team or individually was very important and lives depended on it.
The constant presence with his troops was the most significant act of building cohesive teams through mutual trust. In Fact, “how he found the time and energy to be constantly with his frontline troops and still direct the overall activities of the division was a mystery.” 1 Interacting with your subordinates shows that you care. A leader that trains with his subordinates also earns credibility. How Soldiers trust, weights leader’s sound judgment for leading troops and accomplishing missions, regardless complexity.
Thank you for serving. I can not tell how glad I am that you served in either the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, or the Coast Guard. From any of the wars, WWI,WWII,The Korean War, Persian Gulf War, The War On Terrorism (Afghanistan), the Iraq War, and the Texas Revolution. Thank you for serving. I cannot say how thankful I am that you made the ultimate sacrifice. I have no idea what you have been through in war. I am so grateful that you fought so we could celebrate veterans day, memorial day and all other holidays that only the U.S celebrates.
What does the word “honor” mean? There are many different meanings for it. It can mean a privilege, some a title of respect for judges, but the main definition would be high respect or esteem usually for a person. Honor basically means respect, either if you honor something or have honor.
Who is this, who is not? It really doesn't matter cause the world stops for November 11th to celebrate the veterans who are or who once fought for this country. But, how do we really honor our veterans?We come together as a country and we say the pledge and the national anthem.
Why do we honor veterans in America? The veterans of America need to be honored due to them risking their lives for many others. They also have to give up their time with family and friends. They have to deal with the many deaths either from their side of the battlefield or the other. Now with them doing these thing we are able to live without fear in the world. Also veterans must know that their lives would never be the same ever again. That is due to the war doing things to their brains causing them to act differently than normal.
Thank you for your generosity, sacrifice, time, and bravery. You have stepped forward when our county needed you most to fight for our freedom. Thank you for placing yourself between us and danger. You have risked your life for us and put your self into unbelievable situations. Because of you we get to wake up and feel safe and free and not have to worry. Thank you for serving our country. I hope you have fun and enjoy your trip to Washington DC It is a beautiful and memorable place.
Everyone has a busy schedule. I have a lot on my plate at the moment and I'm only a junior. This year has been the hardest school year in my entire life and I've never experienced anything like this. Looking at my school schedule, I knew I was going to be facing a lot of homework. Sports were going to be difficult to handle because of the teams ahead of me. My other extracurricular activities will be fun for the most part, but there will be a lot of time commitment issues I will have to face. Moreover, this also leads to what I want to learn in this Honor's English III class.
I am Jessica and it is nice to meet you. Thank you for your service in the Navy! My husband’s cousin retried from the Navy and went to another branch and now he is a Black Hawk Flight Instructor.
Thank you for your service to our country and keeping us safe. When I was growing up, I recall my father chatting about his stories when he served in the Navy. He would seriously crack me up because he could recite a lot of the information like no problem. On top of that, I work for USAA, and I can wholeheartedly say I love serving our military community. Some of my closest friends have also fulfilled their twenty years, and they are doing exceptionally well with their retirement.
Duty is one of the values outlined the Army values. In my opinion it is one of the most important of all of them. It is very important but without the other values, Duty by itself cannot assist in accomplishing the mission. We still have the other values like leadership, respect, selfless service, honesty, integrity, and personal courage. These all set up the framework for us to be able to accomplish or duty as soldiers. All of them work hand in hand with each other. Duty is defined in Webster’s dictionary as, “obligatory tasks, conduct, service or functions that arise from ones position.” It is one of the primary values in the Army today. Duty is the reason while we get up every day and prepare to and defend the United States of America with
Why is it important to follow orders and instructions? From a military standpoint the difference can mean life or death for a soldier. On the civilian side it can mean the loss of your job, loss of position, or loss of pay. There are many factors that play into each individual scenario. No two events are ever the same and the outcome can range from a verbal reprimand to the death of the individual.
It has been said, "I would rather die standing than live on my knees!" (Emiliano Zapata). All things are possible to a person who stands on the foundation of honor. The definition of honor is a high regard or respect; personal integrity; reputation; privilege (Webster’s Dictionary). The word honor comes from Latin Honos. Honor shapes lives everyday, and provides the glue that holds a family, community and country together.
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
As a DS, I was responsible for coaching, counseling, and mentoring of hundreds, almost 900, of Soldiers as they go thru a transformation from a civilian to a combat-ready Soldier. But In order for me to do that I had to know the basic knowledge which is why I needed to attend DS School. I was taught those skills but also how to be an advisor to the Recruits. I took the time to get to know 99 percent of the Recruits, making personal contact (as if they were my child) with them and making it my duty to know all of their names (even created nicknames for the hard to pronounce) by the end of week one. They knew by the end of the first week that I was passionate about what I am doing and they can come to me about
