Warrant Officer Personal Statement

those leadership traits we learned as NCO’s. I have seen, and heard, too many times about fellow 150A’s that take a very hands off approach to leadership when they go to the company level as platoon leaders. I feel this happens because those individuals now think they don’t have to work as hard anymore simply because they are now a warrant officer, when it is the exact opposite. As a warrant officer you are now looked upon as the subject matter expert not only by your Soldiers, but your NCO’s and commander. As an NCO Soldiers look to you as someone whom sets the example on what to do, this is exponentially truer as a warrant officer. Furthermore,

Upon completion of the my bachelor’s degree, acceptance through the ECP, Officer Candidate School, The Basic School, Initial Intelligence Training, and Military Occupational Specialty Intelligence Training, I will receive orders back to the Fleet Marine Forces. The move from the enlisted ranks to the officer ranks may be very confusing, but this goal can be accomplished as long as I stay focused and move one step at a time.

We as Warrant Officers have acquired both positive and negative generalizations such as being laid back, but also lazy. Our roles as leaders are often less involved than a Platoon Sergeant or RLO Platoon Leader, who have direct responsibility

and Civil Air Patrol, have taught me during four years the values of Honor and Commitment and I now aim at living with the highest level of integrity and civic responsibility in everything I do, all while respecting not just other people but all forms of life including my own body for safe and healthy long-lasting living. Both these programs have taught me leadership to a great extent by learning first how to follow rules and by being accountable at all times.

My pervious experiences has prepared me to be an SGA Officer by the different people I talk and meet at the Paxon community. Over time volunteering at different places has helped me to work with others. Also having a job has helped me deal with all sorts of people but still keep a positive vibe. The mos experience I have had is to become a responsible person especially when it comes to school and to prioritize my work over other things. To become a role model which I always am showing and to always have good intention towards people. To be understanding and to be open minded about what others have to say. Reading essays out loud has made me more confident and that is what you need to know that you mean serious

AI have reviewed SGT Brothers credentials and found his records very worthy for warrant officer candidacy. As such, it is my honor and privilege to recommend SGT Gregory D. Brothers for selection as a Warrant Officer. SGT Brothers is proficient at technical tasks and applications, brings valuable skills to the table, offers guidance to subordinates and shares his expertise with commanders. After observing SGT Brothers for the last year I can say that he has consistently impressed me with his technical skills and his leadership abilities.

Today, our Warrant Officer Corp is simultaneously in transition, in action, and in preparation. As an Army in transition, we are returning and recovering from over a decade and a half of sustained deployments in support of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army is now focused on how we look to the future of a chaotic and complex world while restructuring. Guided by our warrior ethos, our leaders and Soldiers will continue the Army’s transformation, exasperating the eight characteristics of the Army’s 2025 strategy into an agile, expert, innovative, interoperable, expeditionary, scalable, versatile, and balanced force.

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!

It is my pleasure to recognize SGT McMenamin to be accepted as a Warrant Officer. SGT McMenamin has clearly demonstrated that he possesses the traits to become an outstanding Army Warrant Officer.

When working in a JIIM environment Special Forces Warrant Officers (SFWO) need to master three of the unique attributes. SFWO must be able to learn new skills, accept new ideas and teach others, be adaptive thinkers who are able to thrive in complex and ambiguous situations and finally develop good interpersonal skills. The JIIM environment is complex ambiguous environment. The mastery of these combined attributes is required for success in the JIIM environment.

I want to become a Special Agent either in NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) or the FBI. My superiors such as the NCIS Director or FBI Director would be involved in my accomplishment of this goal. Other people would include my past superiors in law enforcement such as veteran officers, the watch commander, the police captain and chief. This would be once I reach that goal, not presently. I have interests of spies and criminal investigations from a young age and have taken a Law Enforcement ROP Class and JROTC for three years in high school. This accomplishment would take place in the NCIS Branch in LA or the FBI LA Facility.

Earning the way into the Army’s Green Berets, a branch of the Army’s Special Forces, is no easy task. Being a part of a military service as prestigious as the Green Berets branch in the Special Forces is a great aspiration. The great leadership skills, intelligence, and overall drive it takes for a person to achieve this type of rank in the Armed Forces is something that are greatly admired in the United States. This elite group offers safety and security to the citizens of the United States and other countries with its unconventional warfare. The Green Berets is an elite career to aspire to because of the lasting knowledge it instills, the job satisfaction behind what this group works towards, and the unique opportunity that these select

During the last quarter I usually focus in running our GT Enhancement course in the month of July. This happens by using our own monetary resources and the Education facility in Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst to provide this one week course instead of the three weeks. At the end of the week is mandatory for all Soldier’s to take the AFQT test. This course does not only help our warrant officer prospects, but also allows them to have an opportunity to pursue either OCS or an MOS with a requirement of a GT score of 110, helping our OSM shop build our pool for the new FY. I also attend ROTC orientations, WOPD’s, unit visits, WOCS graduations and any other events that can open a window of information for those that don’t know about the Warrant

I feel as though I am qualified to become a warrant officer in the human resource field not only due to my experience within the field but also because I truly enjoy helping Soldiers. In my 13 plus years of experience in the administrative / readiness field I have learned a lot. From managing a $20,000 RMP budget with 100% accountability while also managing pay for 4 separate units with one of the highest pay timeliness reports of the State. I was selected to instruct seniors, peers, and subordinates on the MyUnitPay system, and I am sought after to provide training to new Readiness NCO’s. I have streamlined the way our unit processes attendance and orders publication by creating a SharePoint site.

My technical experience, leadership, and dedication to mission success offer me the necessary skills to become an exceptional addition to the US Army Warrant
