Sleeping During a Class

Those who were within my chain of command understood that I was fully able to do my current job but did not allow me to get a pass when it came to a personal choice that I made. By the chain Commanding Officer not condoning my actions and reducing me to the rank of second class Petty Officer impacted me in a way that would change the course of my outlook not only professionally but also personally. Being reduced in rank forced me to look it myself and my actions differently. I no longer utilized the lenses that I previously used. I had to humble myself, understand that certain personal actions were not acceptable and finally, I had to make a solid decision to change how a balanced everything that I do in life. This process was not a simple process but a process that caused me to search deep inside me of to figure out how to survive both professionally and personally. What I learned through this process is that “Life is like photography. You need the negatives to develop.” With that being understood, I decided that I would not allow my negative actions define my future work ethics or

The purpose of this counseling is to document your violation of UCMJ Article 91, insubordinate conduct toward a Commissioned Officer, CPT (P) Woodard, Rosilyn. O/a 221700OCT2015, LT Namkung, while I were addressing you that you proceeded to walk away and rolled your eyes. I deemed your actions were blatant acts of insubordination and unbecoming of an officer. I will not tolerate this type of behavior and expect better from an officer of your caliber.

For example, if I had not been in my room when I was on quarters, and a fire had erupted in the barracks, I would now be putting my battle buddies or superiors trying to locate me at an extreme and unnecessary risk, especially if they were unable to contact me by phone or if I had not contacted the chain of command. With communication, punctuality and being at your prescribed place of duty all being essential facets of military life and having a direct correlation to the soldierly appearance and combat readiness of a unit, these kinds of faults and mistakes cannot be allowed to permeate our disciplined ranks and taint the effectiveness of our unit . Without punctuality, and therefore discipline there can be no effectiveness or efficiency in our mission of protecting our own and destroying our enemies. If we cannot efficiently destroy the enemy we are no longer an effective or worthwhile unit in the Army.

I have learned that the army is all about making the right choices and doing the right thing so if anything makes sure that you are always doing what is right. I for one have been late a few times and now I have to make sure that I take care of that so that I can keep my rank and not lose anything. The right thing for me to do is I will make sure that I have an alarm clock set for the time I need to be up and to better myself to get up as soon as it goes off. Then I will make sure that I am getting a good amount of sleep so that I can get up on time and not be late or dragging while I am at work. I have done so well I just need to be more attentive in what I am doing and make sure that I have my things in order and that I am prepared for everything that comes my way. It’s time to set aside the differences have against me and be a leader by example if people see me showing up whenever they will do the same thing. So now I have to make sure that I lead by example and not by sub standards because in the long wrong I will be in charge of soldiers and don’t want them to think that they can just show up whenever or talk to NCO’S any way they want. Which brings me to my last part respect in order for soldiers to want to respect anybody you have to show that you are contributing to the work that is going and not just sitting there

 I am writing this essay because I disrespected a non commissioned officer. I do apologize for what I did and have said. I have learned from my mistake and I see why I am to do this essay and that is to show that disrespecting a non commissioned officer will not be tolerated and two give clear understanding of the impact that disrespecting a Non Commissioned officer has on others. For many reasons the Non Commissioned Officers keep the moral up and motivate soldiers and encourage them to do their very best and showing disrespect to the non commissioned officer's not only lowers moral, it also makes it to where the NCO thinks less of the person and lowers the person’s creditably.

Not being properly trained can result in many lives and poorly ran missions. I am told by my superiors to put a lock on my wall locker for a reason, and make sure it is locked, at all times. This is for me to learn to maintain all my equipment and items. And always abiding by the LDRSHIP acronym (Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Self-less service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage) at all times will keep me accountable and responsible and make me a better soldier. So I can always be the soldier that my fellow servicemen would want to fight beside in any time of crisis. This acronym should be the backbone of any American Soldier.

you must be aware of your actions and always be vigilant and never to lose self accountability. Once you have gained self accountability, you can then start to worry about other people if the task requires it. Accountability does not only happen on the week days but also during your personal time because a lot of what you do or people see you do on your personal time can affect how people view and see you on work time. Also it can also affect how you feel about yourself or how other people feel about you. The next topic i am going to cover is the importance of being accountable as a Non-Commissioned Officer. This is really important because soldiers will always be coming to you for advice, guidance and almost everything they can not do alone. NCO's are the backbone of the military, they relay information from the top of the channels all the way to the bottom. The NCO mindset comes from a lot of honest hard work and working your way up from the bottom, which is why the NCO’s should know most about accountability, and also because they need to have accountability of not only themselves but that of others that are under them. If one domino falls then most of the time they will all fall. so in other words if one person messes up then it could mess up everyone. In some missions this is very bad because if you are in Afghanistan or Iraq then you need to have accountability so that everyone gets home safe and unharmed. The higher that you go in the NCO support

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.

Although the training First Year Orientation Progam (FYOP) officer cadets receive is not exactly the same as that conducted at the now defunct Cornwallis training base, the principles remain the same. The biggest challenge observed in the early days of training was to get a group of people to act as one team. Each person arrived as an individual with their own set of values, behaviours and regional characteristics. These individuals were then subdivided into platoons, squads, or sections. During this integration process the instructors ensured stress levels remained consistently high through the use of yelling, inspections that found minute faults that were exacerbated through the dismantling of our bunk space, and decreased sleep. I now realize that these simulated or over exaggerated stresses are required to provide an indication of future tolerance for this in operations.

It is your duty to make sure you have accountability of everything as a noncommissioned officer every morning it is your duty to make sure your soldier is there it is your duty to make sure that the tasks that need to be done for the day are completed if you don’t have accountability on what had to be done then the job will not get done accountability is everything you have to make sure your

The principal reason for this essay is since I did not follow out proper orders and was not at the right place of duty for PT/Accountability formation at the appropriate time. Though there was a miscommunication, granted on my half, there's nonetheless no excuse for me to miss a formation. I desire to be a great soldier and I desire to excel inside military. The first step I need to put into action is often making sure I am at the appropriate place of duty at the proper time or preferably with time to spare. This can be a simple task that's easy and painless to ensure, and it'll be accomplished.

Officers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence as well as that of my soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors, peers, and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, Noncommissioned Officers, leaders!

I was told that if I had simply taken what was originally written and reworded it I would have been good as gold . I now have come to realize that my failure to follow orders is not only affecting me but it is affecting others. I am taking up a lot of my sergeants time by them having to wright counseling statements for me. Also I have been using the excuse that I am dealing with a lot of personal problems all at once, one after another etcetera and so forth. I could have avoided this entire situation completely by just

I hypothesize that this student is falling asleep in class due to minuscule interaction and sitting in the back of the class. Allowing a week of intermission between tests, I would begin by using the Socratic method; Afterwards, moving the student to the front of the class; and finally, combining both methods and observing the magic at play. I'd expect both hypotheses to work accordingly, and the combination of them, to harmonize; allowing the student to stay awake and excel in the class. If after my attempts to keep the student awake, the student nevertheless falls asleep, it would consequently falsify my hypotheses. An untestable explanation would be that the student is being abducted by aliens in the middle of the night; therefore, not allowing

The behavior I have chosen to modify is my sleeping behavior. As a college student sleep is something that I don’t get enough. I chose to modify this behavior because sleep is an important part of life. I want to be tired when I go to bed and awake when I get up in the morning. I wanted to modify this behavior because I think having good sleeping patterns is a good trait to have in life. So much more can be done when we are awake and refreshed after a full night’s sleep. My goal is to be in bed at 10:30 pm every school night. I wanted to be able to have everything done by that time so that I could get 9 hours of sleep every night. My punishment is that I can’t take a nap the following day if I don’t go to bed on time. I observed my
