Statement Of Purpose: American Military University

I attend a military school and i have been a part of many leadership roles at Fork union Military Academy. One of my unique experiences was when we were drilling my company to prepare for a parade. I am a day student which places us in our own platoon. In my day student platoon there were no cadets with rank at the time which means we had no particular leader. This was the perfect opportunity for me to take charge and become the temporary leader for the drill. I had no real experience with drilling besides the steps i have learned while being at FUMA for 2 years at that time. . I drilled the cadets in front of the 120 cadets in my company. I did particularly well besides one mistake on a facing movement. Taking this leadership role earned me

I believe that I am ideally suited for an assignment at the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) because of my eclectic experience throughout my United States (U.S.) Army career ranging from special operations forces (SOF) units and conventional units both tactical and force generation. I have worked at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. This experience runs from team medic through battalion senior operations sergeant major. These positions include working out of the United States Embassies in Mali and Mauritania to being the J3IO Senior Enlisted Leader in Afghanistan. Additionally, I have worked with 5th Special Forces group in Iraq and 3rd Special Forces Group in Afghanistan. Furthermore, I have experience working with U.S. Army Europe and U.S. European Command developing some of the current crisis contingency plans to include the strategic engagement strategy for Civil Affairs and the U.S. Country teams in that area of operations.

2. Since entering active duty service in January 2004, I have served on every cannon crew member duty position on the M119 Howitzer. Throughout my years of service, I have been in a variety of leadership positions, within my primary MOS, and outside. Currently I am serving as a detail recruiter within the Baltimore Recruiting Battalion. Prior to this, I served as a Ranger Instructor at the 82nd Airborne Pre-Ranger Course, training and evaluating students on all aspects of small unit tactics, from the planning phase to actions on the objective. I have also served as a Provisional Infantry Fire Team Leader, and was selected to be a 60mm Mortar Team Leader while deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Despite the challenges of being in

I believe leadership and service are two of the most important aspects of an individual; they are very telling of someone’s work ethic and internal motivation, and they help drive our nation forward. Without leadership and service, we would not be where we are today. Through the United States Senate Youth Program, I believe I can showcase and further develop my leadership skills, and demonstrate my ability to serve others and truly connect with them. My position as Senior Patrol Leader in my Boy Scout Troop is no doubt the most important feature of my leadership experience. I am currently at the very end of the process of attaining my Eagle Scout rank; by the time Washington Week occurs, I will have been an official Eagle Scout for some time.

When I first heard about The American Legion Auxiliary Missouri Girls State program, I was instantly elated. Though a cliche, working within the government, whether at a nation or local level, has always been an aspiration of mine. While politics are fascinating, I am more interested in the actual processes of government: they way differing levels are run, the specific jobs open in local government, and the relationships between separate sectors. The true system of government is extremely complicated, and through this program, I would be able to experience every aspect first hand. Set up so beautifully, our government responds to everyone. Yes, passing legislature, changing the world, and even getting elected become long drawn out tasks, but

We are losing some of our best Machinists and Welders after their first enlistment due to the lucrative options available in the civilian sector and the lack of opportunities to display their innovative nature in the Marine Corps. An additive and subtractive fabricator in the trenches would serve to be an asset to commanders, because he/she will not be limited by technology or lack of expertise. Both of these specialties present an opportunity to exploit manufacturing capabilities. After all, exploitation is a human endeavor and until unmanned technologies take over completely, is it not the Marines using the technologies that are the assets? In the civilian sector, experience is often necessary in most fields; however, machining and

From Combat to College Uncle Sam wants veterans to sign up for college! So of course colleges and universities are competing to create the best programs and classes that are “veteran friendly”. The challenges and barriers being encountered by veterans at many institutions make it more likely that ex-G.I.s will leave college with debts instead of degrees. The struggles that veterans face from combat to college prevent them from reaching their maximum potential because of the barriers they face such as the numerous amount of questions they’re asked, and being able to actually find a friend that actually supports them while trying to transition from military duty to civilian life.

Hello, my name is Brendan Sherwin. I am 16 years old and currently a junior at West Hills High School . I am that benevolent student that everyone goes to for help or goes to be their partner in group projects. I am a leader to many and a great friend to others. I am currently thinking about joining the military, but at the same time I have a desire to save lives. So, I came to the conclusion that joining the military sector in health care would be the best way to go. I also admire the fact that in the military, leadership earns respect. Besides getting respect, I would like to get the satisfaction of helping those that have risked their lives for this beautiful country of ours, so this would be my way of giving back to the brave men we so luckily have. Therefore, I would like to become a Navy Neurosurgeon. I feel that with my leadership, determination, patience, problem solving skills, physical stamina, interpersonal skills, and the ability to think and work fast under pressure will prepare me for this job.

My Mother and Father relocated from Costa Rica to New York City where they met got married and where I was born. When I was just two years old, always wanting the best for us, my father moved our family from New York City to Jacksonville, FL in search of a better paying job and the American dream so he could provide us with a better quality of life. To ensure we were always clothed and feed, my father sacrificed everything for us and worked long hours to do so. Though I did have a pronounced, safe and active upbringing the North Florida school system didn’t expect much from the Hispanics that were starting to move to the then small town; unfortunately since my parents worked so much they expected the school system

Higher education organizations including community colleges, 4-year public colleges, 4-year private nonprofit colleges, and for-profit colleges have experienced an increase in veteran enrollment over the past few years. A student veteran is defined as, “any student who is a current or former member of the active duty military, the National Guard, or Reserves regardless of deployment status, combat experience, legal veteran status, or GI Bill use” (Vacchi, 2012, p. 17). Today’s veterans come from a demanding environment of high levels of expectations, formal structure, and discipline. Today’s veterans looking to continue education are of higher quality due to increased professional training (Vacchi, 2012).

At the age of fifty, I found myself attending college for the first time. I made the decision to begin attending Bethel University in April 2015. I was very excited and determined I was going to obtain a bachelor’s degree, no matter the price I had to pay, financially, mentally or physically. After completing a year in the classroom each week, then later completing three online classes to expedite my electives, I have had the privilege to experience both classroom and online.

One of many aspects that I look for in school is the cultural appreciations and value of individuals. My intended major is an International Studies, which requires me to broaden my views and think beyond what we see. So when I was looking through the schools, the George Washington University definitely captured my attention. The George Washington University is one of the most diverse school in the United States and encourages many students to join the community. I was very thrilled to see the cultural events and volunteer activities are the priorities in school, because I always look out for an opportunity to help the community. I am more than willing to be part of the Nashman Center and serve for others.

Education has long been the frontier for society and academic advancement in one’s life. Long gone are the days where only a handful of people were expected to enter into college and earn a degree. In 2014, there are so many colleges and universities that one can choose from. Not only is the choice, whether or not they attend school, but the choice is, whether they want to attend school online or in a traditional college setting of brick and mortar.
