A Career As A MSC Officer

With each assignment, I have exceeded the goals set for myself, and I have wholeheartedly supported my Divisions, Departments, and Commands. I have proven that I have the initiative, experience, character and strength to lead the young Sailors of the 21st Century Navy.

    Uss Carney

    From June 2005 to September 2009, I served on the Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG) 64, USS Carney. The USS Carney has approximately 300 sailors and officers. Out of the 300 about twenty-five are officers and another thirty or so are senior enlisted. Officer’s tours are eighteen to twenty-four months long and the enlisted sailors can remain on board for up to five years. While serving aboard the Carney, I witnessed the key crewmembers turnover at least three times. After each key crewmember, enlisted sailor or officer, transferred someone needed to rise to step into a new role and a new team needed to be formed. While I did not realize it at the time, we constantly performed Human Process Interventions to ensure we were ready to answer our nations call at a moments notice. The upper echelons of the U.S. Navy go to great lengths to ensure that teams are created through a structured multi-level training process, surveys, and other Organization Development techniques.…

    Like all military officers, I was trained and groomed to be a leader from the time I raised my right hand and took the oath of office. The most important contribution to my success was the emphasis I placed on putting junior member’s needs before mine. I have a code that I live by and it has been very effective as a leader, “Take care of your people, and they will take care of…

    Despite non-selection, my pursuit of this prestigious and challenging position will not be deterred. My naval career, I have continually sought positions of greater responsibility and produced exceptional results in each of those positions. While I take great pride in being a Chief Petty Officer, I feel the experience I have acquired as a Chief will benefit any wardroom I am a member of. It is important to note that I did not submit an LDO-CWO package for FY-14 due to the time constraints I experienced while standing up Naval Beach Unit SEVEN with an under staffed office and operational commitment.…

    It would be an honor and a privilege to continue my service as a Surface Warfare Officer. I had the pleasure of being assigned to the USS Chung-Hoon during my senior Midshipman cruise. While on the Chung-Hoon, I was tasked with assuming the role of conning officer. I was held to the same expectation as my running mate; I was to have in-depth knowledge of the ship’s navigational capabilities, report for duty fully prepared to assume responsibilities, and, at all times, be diligent when working in unison with the different departments of the ship in order to assure safe navigation. Working with the officers and crew on the Chung-Hoon was the greatest lesson in leadership I experienced, and serves as the point in my life where I knew I was destined to be a warfighter. I know that as a Surface Warfare Officer,…

It has taught me qualities I will find immensely useful down the road when I graduate high school and go off to Alaska Pacific University, followed by Officer Candidate School, and finally the United States Navy.

    Leading Marines is the greatest resource that I have come across so far for guidance and motivation in becoming a leader of Marines. In one neat sentence located in the forward, we are given everything that sums up what is expected of future leaders of Marines: "Our actions as Marines every day must embody the legacy of those who went before us." Marines have a great expectation to live up to, and as commissioned officers we must absolutely carry on the tradition of excellent leadership that has come before us. This leadership comes in many forms under many different conditions. As there are no two people who are exactly alike, there is no single way to lead. Leadership is learned not born; one must utilize personal traits and experiences to find his way of leading. I draw some of my leadership style and experience from leading a football team, O.C.S., and principles I have learned from my parents, while others may draw on school, physical challenges, or any other of their personal experiences. This doctrine is meant to help the leader understand the excellence that they are inheriting, and to give guidance on developing one's own leadership style.…

    Early in life, my family instilled in me exceptional integrity and values, and emphasized the importance of respect and hard work. Passed to me through a strict upbringing, these values and personal qualities have given me a steadfast foundation upon which to further develop myself as both a man and a leader. In preparation for an appointment, I have pushed myself greatly on all fronts. Academically, I have consistently pursued the most challenging opportunities available to me, and have excelled in doing so, all while maintaining the responsibilities of year-round sports, a job, youth group, and clubs. As team captain of two sports, president of the Beta Club, and a youth leader in my church, my time is often spread thin between the duties of each, but I feel that I have flourished in these positions, and feel a natural calling for leadership. Physically, I have trained hard to meet and exceed the standards set forth by the academies, and have participated in some of the toughest and most mentally demanding sports available at my school. I have pushed myself not only to prepare for a service academy, but for my subsequent life in the service; as I hope to have demonstrated, I am extremely passionate about serving and protecting my nation, and will pursue this pathway regardless of my acceptance into a service academy. Although I still have much to learn, I am confident that I am qualified to meet and maintain the high standards for which the service academies are…

    Firstly, I want to become a Marine Officer in order to serve and give back to my country. Secondly, as I desire to become a Marine Infantry Officer, leading fellow Marines in the Marine Corps as an Infantry Officer would be the greatest honor, privilege, and responsibility one could possess. Finally, becoming a Marine Officer will challenge me both physically and mentally as well as develop me into the best person, citizen, leader, and ultimately the best Marine I can be. I want to be a part of something bigger than myself and make a difference in the world, as Ronald Reagan said “Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world.

    Through all of my obstacles that I have endured during my transition to becoming a MSC officer, needless to say, it has been challenging and at times very stressful. However, I never abdicated even in moments I felt weary, discouraged, and defeated. I stayed in prayer every day and each morning I would start fresh to continue my transition. My belief is so firm that I diligently obtained a set of blues and ABUs adding rank along with patches in place to be ready for COT and graduation. I store my ABUs up on the wall in my room as well as keep a picture of my uniform on my phone so I can see what I am striving for each day. This is a reminder for days that are more difficult to keep pushing forward. That is how determined and committed I am to becoming a MSC officer.…
