Battalion Commander
Position Applying For: Battalion Commander
As Battalion Commander I would be able to move the Jaguar Battalion to become a more productive and motivated set of cadets that we have seen since my freshman year in JROTC. I have numerous plans to achieve these goals and will more likely be able to acomplish them by doing the following; having company set goals, a fundraising chart to have an interactive view on which company is raising more money, fitness charts set around each JROTC room to show cadets proper movements on excercises, stretches, fitness goals and proper diets to help maintain and have a healthy body. I will also have Cadet Challenge requirement guidelines in each room to help cadets know what they need to achieve in order for them to recieve special awards or high scores on the Cadet Challenge when the date comes. These are just few of many ideas that I have to help and improve our Jaguar Battalion to become the best battalion we have ever seen in ELCHS.
I should recieve this postion due to my high leadership skills, manager skills that I have learned while being employed, fast-paced thinking for certain situations and my ability to maintain proper patience and social communication skills to help with any situation that rises in the battalion. I am highly motivated and very determined in ELLA (East Lee Leadership Academy) and will have no problem to help motivate cadets to not only have proper skills needed for their high school year, but to also become open-minded and organized individuals.
I have made many faults in JROTC and I am well aware of my decisions that I have made, but I have also learned from those mistakes and will only move forward to make sure that East Lee has a stable and enthusiastic leader to help lead cadets in the battalion. I was unsecure and was very reliant on others and their opinions, But I am now able to move pass those negative qualaties that held me back as a leader and will be able to move forward and lead without any

    120th Infantry Brigade is a phenomenal assignment to receive. I am able to accomplish so much within my realm of responsibilities as a flight medic. The Brigade functions very well as is but there is always room for improvement as many leaders in the Army would say. I believe the best improvement that could be made in the Brigade is utilizing all the functioning Battalions to accomplish multi-echelon and multi-organizational training. This would provide broad-spectrum training for our training audiences and would replicate real world situations that are found in today’s modern battlefields.…

    Throughout the program, we were taught these values, "Integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do." I had multiple opportunities being placed in leadership roles to lead others within the corps. From this, I learned that you're accountable for everything you do, and you have to own up to your mistakes no matter how bad the repercussions will be. AFJROTC also includes numerous community service projects and not only did I give back to the community with over 150 hours of community service, but I also gained the trait to be…

    “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” Said by Steve Jobs. Being in Jrotc had taught me many things. I first joined as a sophomore. I didn't know what to expect. Since I’ve started JROTC I’ve been challenged mentally, physically, and emotionally. I have learned how to work more as a team and learn about leadership. Most things I’ve learned in JROTC I probably wouldn't have learned in my other classes. Cadets have managed to overcome many fears, tears, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable memories. Therefore, Jrotc builds character and leadership by its many activities such as conducting color guards, being apart of the chain of command, and being apart of the raider team.…

    Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program can be a four-year journey of life changing experiences that build character and leadership. I was a freshman when I first join JROTC, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Throughout my student life being a cadet, I was challenged physically, mentally, and emotionally. But I was able to learn more about teamwork and leadership. The curriculum consists of practical exercises that directly target an individual’s leadership and character. JROTC has taught me what I would not have learned in any other class in high school. Cadets have overcome fears and have formed lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories. Overall, they have found JROTC has molded a sense of character within them just as it has for me.…

    People who aren’t in Jrotc tend to think that they discipline you to be better than other citizens and that you will become a soldier for the military.

    Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage are the seven basic values of the army. JROTC helped me grow as a person and let me interact with people that I would have never interacted with before. I developed social skills and a good work ethic during my time in the JROTC. Over 50% of students in high school were in the program. I helped over a 100 students with basic army movements and discipline skills. A lot of students didn’t care much if they were good at what I was teaching them. That didn’t stop me from forcing them to repeat basic army movements for an hour each day. I taught them repetition and discipline. The more and more people I helped, the more people saw me as dependable. My instructor gave me more responsibilities and tasks to do as he saw me improving. JROTC helped me meet the friends that I still have to this day. If I did not join the program I wouldn’t have become who I am today. I used to be an introvert and kept to myself at all times. I rarely finished assignments or even started working on them. I never participated in any extracurricular activities. I was just a super lazy…

    Throughout PFC I have learned and gained many new important factors in life whether they are new skills to lifelong friends. Being in PFC has exposed me to new ways of learning and becoming a better leader in the future. From the beginning, I have inherited new skills through the trainings conducted and last minute conflicts on the freshman days of service I have been a part of. The trainings were not just a way of torture, waking up on Saturday mornings dragging myself to work so I can sit there for four hours just to listen to someone talk and instruct us on what to do. Those trainings were another way for us all to get together, learn about each other’s qualities, and being able to deliver to the program to creating a better community for…

    At MCT I began to see that every Marine in the Corps would have an impact on those around him. Although we had earned the title, we still had much to learn about what it meant to be a Marine and the consequences our actions would have. During my first few days at MCT I tried taking the same approach I took at boot camp and remain hidden and skate by, however my combat instructors had a different idea and I was made squad leader. As a squad leader I found new responsibility and soon realized that I would need to change my way of thinking if I were to keep my job, I soon started trying to be the leader my instructors…

    First of all, I display excellent leadership skills. For example, in JROTC I am the 1st Sergeant and it isn't a rank that just anyone could get. I am responsible for correcting uniform violations, the accountability for all cadets in Alpha company , as well as taking control of the company in the absence of all officers. Being the 1st Sergeant takes a lot of discipline and attention to the job because if something goes left it all falls on me. I also served as Beta Club secretary 8th grade year and co-secretary my 9th and 10th grade years.As secretary, it was my duty to ensure that meetings are organized, recorded and minuted. Notes from past meetings had to be handled properly and decisions made during those meetings had to be recorded and presented to the everyone.One of the lessons that is taught in JROTC is to lead , you first must serve others.…

    My name is Kaleigh Gonzales I’m a 15 year old sophomore and I’m running for the 2014-2015 officer position of reporter for Armwood High Schools FFA Chapter. I feel I should be selected for this position because not only am I a people person but I am also extremely organized. I think this would make me be able to effectively and efficiently get the Armwood FFA’s chapter name known to the public. I would also try to do this by doing any and all public service projects we can get our hands on, then publishing our successes. I believe that to make a difference you have to be known and respected by the community around you. In the past three years I have served as Vice President for Burnett Middle School for two terms and Treasurer for Armwood high school for one term. In this time I’ve competed many events including forestry, land judging, vet assisting, OCC, creed speaking, and extemporaneous public speaking. By doing this I’ve gained lots of experience and love in our great organization. I believe to be this year’s reporter I have to not only work on our clubs public media aspects but also work hard in competitions to win and better our chapters’ reputation. If I were to describe the technique in which I lead I would have to say that I plan , I tell others my plan , and then I depend on my team to help me. They tell me where they specialize in and what they want to do for me, and we work form there. I try to let people do what makes them happy while still helping me. I can make a personal promise that I will always work my hardest to make FFA my top priority, a position like this requires my full attention. My other activity I engage in is that I am a First sergeant of alpha company in JROTC, this means I am the second in command of one of three company’s in our schools only JROTC battalion. I promise that my responsibilities there will not interfere with my responsibilities regarding FFA. Some activities I want to do this year are competitions like OCC and…

    This is part the of the NCO creed that I think most about. Because of some of the leaders that believed in me during my time of mistakes, I have been able to not only advance in my carrier but I am sought out by seniors, peers and my subordinates for my experiences in my career. Soldiers look up to leaders that have made mistakes and used them in a positive way to improve themselves. I have shared my story with soldiers that have been in the army for years and as a Drill Sergeant soldiers that were just coming in to the army to show them that we are just human and will make mistakes, the true measure of a man is what he will do after that…
