Statement Of Purpose: Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps

I have held multiple positions within the United States Air Force Auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol, including the position of First Sergeant of the Valkyrie Cadet Squadron. My job was to provide a dedicated focal point for all readiness, to watch the health of cadets, boost the morale, ensure that operations flowed smoothly, and make sure the orders of the commander were carried out by the support staff. After nine months of being a First Sergeant, I was promoted to be the Executive Officer, which is the third in command of the 52-cadet squadron. Furthermore, the leadership skills I have attained in the Civil Air Patrol carries out to various parts of my life. Specifically, my job at Western Steel Inc., where I've been tasked to train employees

Since my freshman year, I have been a part of Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC ). I joined the JROTC raider team my junior year, while on the team, I realized that my teammates were skeptical about success. Making them feel as though as if success was a fantasy, I felt the need to uplift and lead my teammates the best I could, heeding to their skepticism. Being in JROTC has taught to take charge when in the opportunity presents itself. All that asked my teammates to do was to outperform themselves every single day. I was taking a risk of carrying the burden that my teammates carried. I used the qualities that I learned in JROTC to motivate and lead my team to success. Using the mantra “do better than yesterday” to remind my teammates

The JROTC is a place where men and women of high ethics and values are forged with care and sturdiness; it is a second home for many. The JROTC, short for (The United States Army) Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, has been living in our school system for 100 years and has created various great citizens of our country since. The program has its roots in the National Defense Act of 1916 and its purpose has varied in the past 100 years from one thing to the other, yet the strive to make the best out of every single cadet has been engraved into the program and the people in it since day one.

Over the course of 100 years JROTC has been around. The main purpose of JROTC is to make better citizens. The Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) is a program offered to high schools that teaches students character education, student achievement, wellness, leadership, and diversity. It has effort between the Army and the high schools to produce successful students and citizens, JROTC makes for a more disciplined learning environment. The past of JROTC helps to build the present and future.

Today I would like to talk about JROTC and how it has come about in these many years it has been around and what it is meant to do for the youth of America.

I have learned the importance of leading a large group of differing opinions into a unified force. I have also developed a strong sense of responsibility for my actions towards others and in holding a powerful position. I have held numerous leadership titles such as “Miss Junior Seven Hills” as well as “Miss Teen Seven Hills”. Through these opportunities I represented the city of Seven Hills at city and county wide events and learned the importance of communication and how to be a positive representative. I am a part of a handful of other clubs at school including Key Club, National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Student Government, and Jazz Band. I am a completive dancer at Caliber Dance Company and have danced since I was 8 years old. Dance has taught me discipline and has proven to me that hard work pays off. Although I have experience in these various activities I think my most significant experience comes from my time as a member of NIMB. I have firsthand experience of feeling too intimidated to have fun and I want to ensure that no member of NIMB has the same feeling at any point throughout the season. I have seen many leaders of the band come and go and have learned that in order to be effective a Field Commander must be positive, personable, focused, and dedicated. I promise to personify these traits and use my experience in a beneficial

Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) First came to exist in 1916 as part of the National Defense act. The Mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to become better citizens and I know ever since I started JROTC that 's just what I have done.

Junior Officer Training Corps (JROTC), a program that epitomizes leadership, citizenship, and discipline has attained plenteous milestones since its commencement a hundred years ago, and will only continue to fulfill this notion for the next century as long as it remains prevalent in numerous high schools. The JROTC program initially began as a result of the National Defense Act of 1916 signed by President Woodrow Wilson. This legislation proclaimed that military training resources would unite and allow colleges, high schools, and other education facilities to obtain supply funding and military-trained instructors from an ROTC organization. This was spurred by the high probability that the United Sates was going to enter World War I. The nation

Growing up I was always the kid who was picked on. No matter where it was I went people would always doubt me and what I was capable of doing. In high school I chose to make a change that would not only benefit me but, a change that would I benefit my community. I chose to join AFJROTC in hopes of learning about discipline and about many career opportunities. The corps is ran by senior cadets who have a longevity in the program, it was in this instance that I knew who it was that I wanted to be. Fast forwarding to my junior year I chose to run for the position of Corps Commander, this is the guy in charge of the whole detachment. While I, and 14 of my peers ran for this position, I was lucky enough to have gotten chosen to be the commander

There are a number of eminent boons associated with the Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC), a program which is offered as an elective at public high schools across the nation. However, many of these positives do not directly correlate to academic achievement. An explanation of this fact partially stems from the very nature of the program as an elective, it is limited in the amount of educational value it can impart to students, which is certainly lesser than that of the value afforded students via daily coursework offered in standard classes. Importantly, the public funds of the JROTC make it a viable option for students in light of regulations regarding federal and state regulations limitations mandated by 1995's Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (Dilger and Bess, 2008, p. 1). Yet a thorough analysis of this program, which includes the Navy JROTC as well as that relating to the Army, Air Force and Marines, indicates that the positives associated with this program include both tangible and intangible aspects, which rewards America's high school students both during and after their postsecondary careers.

Ever since my first year of marching band, the field commanders have been people to look up to and take example from. They are the student leaders of the band, and always did their best to help when someone needed it. After four years in band, I feel that I am ready to take on a leadership role. I have experience working with and helping new members, I have recognition from my peers as a leader, and I am excited to put to use the qualities and skills that I have learned in band.

Jackie Robinson quote “A life is not important except in its impact on other lives.” speaks volumes to me as a person because as child my parents raised me in church and I was told that making an impact on others’ lives make all the difference. Around my 12th Birthday my mom told me that I was getting placed in an advancement program which boosted me into high school at an early age. As I was registering for my classes my freshman year I noticed something very interesting that I had never seen before in school and the was JROTC, or Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp, Program. This program really sparked my interest in the fact that I was an opportunity to gain leadership experience while still being able to learn as a student. As years progressed

The two article focuses stems around Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) motivation within the public sector and the different decision that influence undergraduate college students that may enter the military. However, the problem according to Ngaruiya, Velez, Clerkin, & Taylor, (2014) “Given the current fiscal climate, budgetary pressures may have important implications for recruitment and retention of military personnel.” Furthermore, the research directly centers on public service motivation (PSM), cultural competency, organizational capacity, program evaluation, and multicultural development. Consequently, the article also dances around environmental policies which can affect all sectors such as public and nonprofits. The researchers

I was born in a place that was not meant for me. While small town Iowa provides opportunities, there is rarely one where I may contribute to an entity bigger than myself such as the army The United States Army instills values such as duty, honor, and country at the core of their teachings. Army Officers uphold these ideals through any trial they face. From the age of twelve, I admired these qualities found in Army Officers more than any other position or career path. The Military Academy produces persistent leaders who willingly sacrifice their lives to protect their brothers and sisters in arms, the American people, and these principles. I aspire to be transformed into a leader who has the sacred honor to defend the uniform, the flag, and

My time in the military has shown me that I have a need for order and discipline. I want to instill this trait into my subordinates and affectively give them the tools to succeed and complete the mission both home and abroad. I lead from the front and never leave those willing to strive for betterment. My plan involves completing my degree and obtaining the knowledge level needed to effectively take care of and train my replacements in true values, pride in ownership and family values. A stepping stone is that anyone can learn from anyone, even if it’s what not to do. I challenge myself to right all the wrong styles of leadership that I have experienced throughout my career and be that exception to the policy/good ole boy club members. The Air Force can change with assistance from those willing to make the change. I have given blood for my countries ideals and know I will give my every effort to help produce the most capable and experience airmen for the purpose set by our CINC. I
