Commitment To JROTC
I want to become BC because I feel qualified and prepared to make a positive difference in the Battalion. I have been and will continue to be immensely committed to JROTC. This year, I created and fulfilled the Chaplain position, showing initiative to improve the Battalion and enhance my understanding of cadets. Furthermore, I was the Saber Guard Commander. I contacted West Point in order to receive proper instructions, exhibiting my commitment to correct procedures. Also, I revised and wrote many SOP's, proving my ability to spot an area of improvement and develop solutions. Next, I will lead the JLAB Leadership Team to Washington, D.C., exemplifying my understanding of JROTC principles. I function effectively with an abundance of responsibilities,

    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…

    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.…

    Peer pressure comes in many different forms. There is smoking, drinking, and the pressure to be as thin as the celebrities on television and magazines. Peer pressure can make a person do things that normally they would never do. How are you supposed to deal with it when for most people it’s everywhere around them? My solution was JROTC, or Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. JROTC helps you deal with these things by building your self-esteem, you set a goal for your life ahead, and you don’t want to let the instructors down.

    Since age eleven, the military was single handedly the only career field I could possibly fathom myself going into. Upon coming to and registering for Blackman High School, joining JROTC was a no brainer. Especially when I learned I could take this class in substitution for gym class. JROTC is more than a class; it is a program all its own and within it are kids with a future. I would like to believe that JROTC is greatly contributing to this and really guiding us as students in the right direction. Even if our sights are set on something other than the military after graduating high school, JROTC looks great on a college application. Not only in that does it make a positive impact on those, but in ourselves as individuals as well. JROTC teaches us confidence, integrity, respect, and leadership skills. This is my first year in JROTC and I am very new to it all, but I am eager to take away from it precisely that. I trust this program to teach me to be not only a leader, but also a good follower with teamwork skills and confidence in my peers. Being in the company of such great people, both students and staff, I feel I am on the right path to be taking action on learning so.…

    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.…

    If you were in middle school and you see some crazy guy in uniform screaming would you choose that class or not? I chose that class because I didn’t want to be as every other high school student and just show up for 4years and then graduate. But the real reason that I enrolled in JROTC was because I want to be different than every high school student and you learn how to become a leader.…

    If I had to choose a service today, I would strive be an Infantry Officer. An Infantry Officer is responsible for leading the infantry and combined forces during land combat around the world. There duties include “commanding and controlling the infantry and combined armed companies and company size unites of 200-300 soldiers; developing doctrine, organizations and equipment for unique infantry missions; instructing infantry skills at service schools and combat training centers; [and] severing as an Infantry advisor.” An Infantry Officer must also embody the following skills: “self-discipline, confidence and intelligence; [the] physically and mentally fit to perform under pressure; [the] ability to make quick decisions; [and being] capable of bearing numerous responsibilities.” I believe my past experiences and current knowledge best fit the characteristics of an Infantry Officer rather than any other service.…

    I enrolled in JROTC mostly because of my family. My dad was in the US Air Force and retired shortly after I was born, my oldest brother joined the US Navy about 2-3 years ago and my sister joined the early entry program for the US Navy and is going to boot camp in July, my brother was practically born to join the US Marines, and 3 of my 4 brothers have been or are in JROTC. It was only natural and the sane thing to do that I joined JROTC because we are practically a Military oriented family and I wouldn’t want it anyother way. I also thought it would be good for me because since this my first year in High School and that it would help me prioritize my work, help me find new friends, build my self-esteem, and learn how to become like my brothers. In my opinion my brothers are the very definition of leaders. Now that it is the end of the semester, my reasons of joining were proved right. I have become better at being a leader, I have made a bunch of friends, i’m more comfortable in the way I live my life and the things I do, and I know how to keep my grades up in High School, and even if I don’t I know how to try and keep them up. I love JROTC and there is no doubt in my mind that I will come back next…

    Most officers probably looked forward to this day, but mine was a small affair. After all, my initial counseling from the outgoing battalion commander was, “consider yourself the interim commander, we need somebody to hold this property” Fine by me, I was leaving the Army, this would only delay me a couple months; an opinion I kept to myself. After all, I was well received within the company and got along with the NCO’s. My new XO and I were great friends, and it’s not like we had much to worry about. Equipment reset was going well, as were the personnel transfers in and out of the unit. My life revolved around NCOER submissions and equipment turn in. The new Battalion command team had transitioned as had the adjacent company commanders. I felt very comfortable with my guys, but began to feel very awkward outside the unit. After all, I was still the interim commander, and hadn’t even been to the career course; a fact some of my new “peers” would jokingly point out at command and staff meetings. In fact, the new BN XO one day casually told me “Don’t worry Brent, nobody’s expecting too much from you. Just think, if you do some small things well, it would be like a home run for you”. For some reason, that comment…
