My Goal And My Goals To Be A Naval Officer

Being able to be a United States navy Chief is on the most honorable professional achievement that an enlisted sailor could strive to accomplish. Being a navy chief is more than just changing from one uniform on September 15 to another on September 16. Being a Navy Chief carries tremendous responsibilities as now you are the person that junior sailor comes to for guidance and development. However, to me to fully explain why I deserve to be a navy chief it would be remissive of me if I did not give credit to those who have helped develop me over the years. Over the years I have had leaders who I worked for directly and some indirectly that have provided me key guidance to aid in my learning and growth a sailor. I believe that I should be a chief

The personal experiences I have had along the way have aided in shaping my character. For example, this year I had the privilege of being elected to the board of my school’s National French Honor Society. Our induction ceremony for new members was taking place and much preparation had to be done in a short amount of time. As a new board member, I took charge and made sure every detail of the ceremony was perfect. From decorations, food, audio and video, I did it all. My teacher and head of the honor society was very impressed by my leadership and “take charge” approach that she appointed me the new President of the French Honor Society for the 2015-2016 school years. That event allowed me to see my true potential as someone who works well with others as a leader, and my ability to work under pressure to achieve results. I have always strived to be the best I can be and excel at whatever task I set out to do. By having the opportunity to attend The United States Naval Academy, it would allow me to continue to challenge myself academically as well as strengthen my leadership and discipline. I would also be honored to serve my country as an officer, giving back to this great country that has been so good to me and my family for generations. All of my life I have been told that I am a very determined individual with a strong presence and desire to lead. It only seems right that I further develop myself

Becoming a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy has been a goal of mine since I was twelve years old. My grandfather served in the Navy, and that has inspired me to serve as well. With the NROTC, I will have the opportunity to strengthen my physical, mental, and leadership skills. As a Naval Officer, I will have the great honor of instilling these same skills into the sailors I lead.

My initial interest in naval service came from the death of my grandfather. I never truly understood his service to my country because I was too young comprehend, but as I learned of his heroic contributions, I got a burning desire to want to serve as well. My grandfather had fought in WWII as an anti-aircraft gunner in the Philippines alongside the US Navy. He just barely took down an enemy ZERO before it came in on a strafing run on his base. When I became aware of his military history I was astounded and my grandfather instantly became one of the greatest influences in my desire to serve. He stood out to me as someone with honor, duty, and loyalty and never backed down from a challenge. He loved his country and risked everything for it and

I originally became interested in Naval service because of my military heritage. When I was younger, both of my grandfathers took care of me every day while my parents went to work. One of my grandfathers served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and the other served as a Merchant Marine during the Second World War and received the Purple Heart. Both of these veterans were instrumental in the early development of discipline and integrity. It is because of them that I gained a curiosity for military history. My grandfather that served as a Merchant Marine died when I was in first grade and it have always felt that it is my obligation to follow in his service to the United States by becoming an officer in the U.S. Navy. Once I started in high school, my grandfather that served in Korea began to tell me stories about his experience in the war which made me feel even further obligated to serve this great country.

The concept of purpose best describes why I want to become a Naval Officer. Throughout high school, I have cherished my opportunities to lead teams towards the accomplishment of meaningful goals, such as collecting life-saving blood for nearby hospitals, and assisting struggling students and community members. These service opportunities are deeply meaningful to me, but as I have learned from my grandfather, who served in the U.S. Army during World War Two, my step-father, a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, and my other grandfather, who served as a Naval Officer during the Vietnam

My goal in attending a United States Service Academy and becoming an officer in the military is to provide myself ample opportunities to reach my established life goals. I plan to pursue a career in aerospace engineering, and developing that career through one of the academies will help me to achieve the dreams I had as a child. I have many strengths that will help me stand out in the application process, but at the same time, I have challenges to overcome. However, these obstacles will not hinder me from from pursuing my passion.

The United States Army is one of the main factors that allows America to be a free and democratic country. The Army defends, protects, and honors the United States of America. Ever since I was a young boy, I saw greatness in the United States Army and hoped to one day be a part of it. I always envisioned myself in a leadership position and when I decided to join the Army, I knew being an officer was for me. To me, being an officer in the U.S. Army is a career unlike any other. There are many opportunities as an officer in the Army to advance, further education, and grow as a person. The army allows you to switch your MOS and attend more training to further education or to change careers completely which is something

Since its formation during the early years of our nation the United States Navy has always stood out among other militaries, playing a vital role in the protection of our own country as well as the rest of the world. Founded upon the core values of honor, courage, and commitment the Navy has continued to uphold its men and women to exceptionally high moral, mental, and physical standards for nearly 240 years. It is my favorite branch of the military and becoming an officer in it has been a goal of mine for a long time.

I want to become an Army officer because I long for a career that will provide continual professional development opportunities while pushing me to reach my full potential as a leader, and will also position me to make a positive impact globally. I believe that by becoming an Army officer I can accomplish this because I have seen the success of those that have gone before me. I come from a family of people who have served in our nation’s military, and their lives are a testimony to the renowned individuals that the Army produces.

My primary reason for wanting to attend West Point Military Academy and serve as an active duty U.S. Army officer is to become the best version of myself that I can possibly be and to further hone my innate abilities and unique skill set to serve my country to the best of my ability, and help make the world a better place both on and off the battlefield.

I feel that becoming an officer would better me as an individual and as a soldier. It would teach me many more leadership skills and how to act in such positions. I chose to go this route because I have never been a follower. I feel that I was born to lead and I took up my opportunity to join ROTC and become that leader that I know I can be. I feel that me being an officer is the perfect thing for me. I have great leadership skills and have no problems motivating and being a great example to others. I am not shy of speaking in front of people and do well with giving orders. Being an officer requires you to ne an outstanding person and that is who I see myself to be. I feel that I will be great at making important decisions in stressful situations. Becoming an officer will be a great way for me to learn how to be calmer and not so quick to lash out. I feel that it will teach me patience and show me that no leader is perfect. It is in me to lead and teach others. I believe in being greater and expanding who I am through experiences and learning to press forward. I feel that being a commissioned officer will allow me great opportunities in my civilian life and help further my

I have learned not to limit myself to just one goal. One lifelong goal is to be a person of influence who consistently impacts the lives of others. I am accomplishing this goal by being involved in events such as the March of Dimes, Meals on Wheels, Trees for Troops, and a variety of other significant events in the community. Another goal is to complete my biology degree with honors, which I am making strides towards by maintaining a 3.7 GPA. Once I receive my degree, I will eventually pursue a doctoral degree in Veterinarian Aquatic Science. One of the most important goals that I have is to be the best airman I can possibly be. I could never repay the Air Force for the opportunities it has afforded me, but I can exemplify all of those things through dedication, determination, and

My strong desire is to support the Navy's combat readiness and to ensure the personal and professional development of our Sailors and Marines that support the dynamic operational commitments of today's Navy. If only one candidate is selected, please know that I am that candidate, possessing the right skills sets, at the right time to be commission to

to be a Marine. This inevitable failure of an attempt will begin anyways, but in the hopes that
