Personal Statement Of Purpose To Become An Army Officer

Throughout my military career I have had the distinguished opportunity to work with some of the Army's finest officers. My last platoon leader in particular, LT Adams, was a major influence in my decision to pursue a career as an officer. There was always something about the way he carried himself. He was the symbol of integrity and confidence and truly lived the Army Values. With the help of his impeccable leadership I was able to achieve feats not many have. I was able to attend and graduate the United States Army Sniper School, an honor not bestowed upon many. I truly contribute my successes at that school, and others like it, to the guidance given to me by LT Adams. In coming to this realization, I now am confident and motivated to give

My ambition after college is to serve as an officer in the military. I wish to serve by assisting those who have been wounded physically

Those brave souls withstood a 9 month of “Hell” ( Thomas Paine had once described) to insure a bright and prosperous future for those to follow. Let’s pretend we're in the Revolutionary war in 1777. You’ve been through a lot of battles so far, your General is George Washington, and your 9 month enlistment is up on February 1st, just one month away. You miss your family, and your dying of disease, starvation, and the bitter cold. If you were in the army at Valley Forge, would you abandon your country, and leave. I would re enlist in the war because America doesn’t have enough soldiers, I'd want to be remembered, and we might get help from the congressional committee.

In my past educational and ministerial training, the focus of training was on the role of the minister. The role of the minister was to care and disciple the flock under his/her care. The focus of the minister was on the need of the church that he/she served. However, as an officer the focus of my ministry will be fulfilling the mission of The Salvation Army. The mission of The Army is the redemptive

As a young child, I learned that education would be beneficial to not only myself but also all humankind. Growing up in a Northeast Florida housing project my father and mother did the best they could to raise nine children. My father worked seven days a week in the service industry as a waiter and bartender while my mother worked as a domestic employee in the homes of more affluent people in the south. My father had an eleventh grade education and my mother had not passed the tenth grade before she bore her first child. Neither parent completed high school but they had dreams of their children far exceeding their educational accomplishments. I was child eight of the nine and I knew early on that I did not want to live

I believe that I could be a part of the National Junior Honor Society officers. Becoming an officer is important to me because I have a goal to lead people in the right direction. If I become an officer that is an easy way for me to accomplish that goal. Becoming a NJHS officer would mean the world to me. If I do have a shot at becoming an officer it would just prove to people that if you really work hard good things can come out of it.

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

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

Recruitment of the United States military is a vital part of maintaining an all volunteer military force. Because of recent world events and the high operations tempo of the military, Army has had some problems with its recruitment. Convincing civilians to sign up to be a solider can be a tough job when it requires being sent 7,000 miles from home to go fight in a war zone. What can recruiters do to keep

During my last year of high school one of my teachers brought up a topic; what is your purpose here? Many of peers are still unable to give a clear answer on what they want to be. I’ve always known deep down that the Army was going to be a major part of my life. I still remember counting down the days of my dad’s deployments. Knowing that my father was helping others who weren’t able to help themselves instilled a great pride in myself. That was one of the reasons why I joined JROTC to help my community and give purpose to young cadets in my high school. Army ROTC will be an extension of how I will be a productive member to our great society. My purpose is to become a better citizen for America, commissioning as an officer in the US Army will not only bring purpose but, discipline in my life as well.

I would like to attend a military academy because I would like to be the best that I can be, while at the same time, serving my country. Education at the AFA is comparable to the best universities in the country, including my prospective major, Astronautical Engineering; so, the service academy is an excellent academic choice for me. Additionally, only the best-of-the-best attend these academies, and being surrounded by such great people will be terrific to make new friends and network.

First and foremost one goal i want to accomplish is being a team player. In other words i'm in military science and being a teamplayer is very important. Being the First sergeant in the company is very stressful but i get the job done. There is people in the core that want my rank so bad but they are not getting it because i'm a good leader. There is people that hate this class because they hate to be told what to do.

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.

My desire to become an Army Chaplain is motivated by my call into the ministry, leadership experience, multiculturalism, education and exposure to pluralistic ministry with people of different traditions and perspectives. As a dynamic, enthusiastic pastor and a church leader, with a 12 year track record of transforming and revitalizing diverse congregations with a renewed desire for both growth and increase in faith focus; I am seeking this vast honor as a regular Army Chaplain because of the aforementioned reasons.

When I grow up I want to be in the army. The career cluster the army is in the government and public Admonitions. I was a kid I always wanted to be in the army. The interests that I have with that job are that I love shooting things and help my fell come raids. The one thing I have interests with this job is that I be rich.
