When I went on mobilization to Fort Lewis, Washington and left my son in the care of my parents, I thought my parental duties would be set aside until I returned home. Unfortunately, the soldiers of 351st Ordnance Company would prove me wrong with their excessive alcohol consumption, commonly term “binge drinking,” and destructive behaviors. I would then spend the next year sharing the responsibility with four other junior noncommission officers in the task of taking care of soldiers. Despite the efforts of myself and the others we were not fully prepared to handle some of the outrageous events and lack of engagement from the leadership that would challenge us during the tour. My abilities as a junior noncommission officer and the understanding of leadership were redefined and I learned exactly what it meant to ensure soldiers have proper guidance, leadership, positive morale, and well-being.

Imagine living in a world where teens are doing drugs, pressuring their peers, and trying to be just like the models in magazines. Unfortunately, that’s the world we live in today. What do these teens need? They need positive adult role models. It is important for a teen to be influenced by positive adult role models while growing up; because if they don’t have positive adult role models, teens can be influenced by negative media, negative peer pressure, and teen drug use.

“I’m most proud of the people. I look at my staff today that has accomplished so much in terms of education and training,” he said. “They’re very sharp individuals and I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for them – not just the command staff but also those out on the street exposing themselves to dangers every day. They’re very dedicated

LeBron James is my role model, he is a great basketball player, and he is also a great person. LeBron was drafted into the NBA in 2003, straight out of a high school named St. Vincent St. Mary. His rookie year he averaged 20.9 points a game, that’s more than most players in their entire NBA career and that’s pretty good. LeBron is a great player, person, and teammate. He is one of the best in my book.

Life would have been different if Capt. C had been my CO the last couple of years. Going over to the barracks, I covered myself with the salve and lay on an open bunk for the rest of the day. After a few days, I began to feel better and started shedding like a snake, and learned my lesson well. Going out to see the gang, Bob, Willie, CA one last time, I told them of my plans and found out what they intended. They had not seen Barb or Bonnie they were nowhere to be found and had not been to the house for weeks. That was not surprising; they were free spirits and always traveling on the USO tour circuit so there was a chance that we might never see them again. I will always be grateful to how they came up trumps for me in my hour of need, though. We fired up some hash, snorted some coke and reminisced about our adventures and wondered where Scott had ended up in Florida. We said our goodbyes and exchanged phone numbers; I asked for their parent’s addresses figuring they would be a more stable location and that they were always likely to know where their kids

This has been truly a very busy and the most demanding year as an Officer and Soldier in the SC National Guard due to the density and size of each exercises and events.

Growing up, I have always had to be a strong role model for my younger siblings. I learned to be modest, show them right from wrong, and offer my words of wisdom. It has been a goal of mine to be a strong role model throughout high school for my siblings, friends, and family. I had to keep my head up, even through my tough situations. In sixth grade, I received news that I had supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). SVT is a heart condition where I tend to have a faster heart rate than usual. My heart rate would go up to 280 beats per minute at times according to my heart monitor. My episodes consisted of my vision going completely black, my heart rate going up to irregular speeds, and it put a huge toll on my body. Hospital visits were a common thing for me before I had surgery, and I struggled in school due to the number of absences I had. It took about six months for numerous doctors to diagnose me, then send me to the children’s hospital in Milwaukee. I was part of the small percentage that got my episodes back after surgery. Throughout this journey, I learned to push through whatever life throws at me while keeping my head up. I never let anything stop me from doing what I love to do. I would always tell myself that there are people all over the world who have suffered more than I have.

There were many valuable topics covered during my time at the Chief Petty Officer Academy (CPOA), however three of them have and will continue to help shape me as a leader and be useful to assist those I work with at my upcoming duty assignment. There were many take-backs from my five weeks at CPOA; however the three I found the most valuable are wellness/fitness, facilitating meetings, and team building. These three very simple techniques can be quiet challenging for some and do create greater challenges if not used at all.

I was elected to be a Thespian Officer my freshman year as the only underclassman to be granted a position for the following year. Consequently, I returned as the only veteran officer my junior year. Being the only one who had experience leading in this department, I was appointed to show the ropes to a brand new set of officers- some of which were seniors who had acted in the department for nearly four years. The intimidating task of coordinating and training a group of people who were older, had higher positions, and were possibly more qualified than I became daunting. However, it was in this time of building a strong team that I grew as a leader, communicator, and team player.

For the past seven years, I value the unbreakable bonding and dedication within our unit, especially building efficient teamwork in supporting the mission of NMCB 23. As we encounter unforeseen obstacles of the mission, we always look out for our fellow comrades as well as motivating one another to breakthrough the wall of uncertainty. Improvising has become our second nature as we are pushed to our limitation. Surprisingly, our limitations can go beyond our expectation as we work as a team. Our relationship is not just as coworkers, but an enormous family that really care for the welfare of each member. We learn to make quick decision that might affect ones’ life as well as taking full responsibility of the consequences whether it is in our

Employees often make comments about their managers or supervisors. Some people feel like they have the best managers, while others feel like they have the worst managers. Managing individuals is not easy, and there is no handbook or novel out there, to teach you how to do it just right. Being a manager is difficult, and being a good manager can be even harder. This paper will discuss the characteristics and behaviors of a peer manager that has influenced my leadership. It will examine my observations of the individual and the impact that it has had on me.
