Dear Sir,

I am writing to you in reference to my request for a pass on the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth of April two thousand and eleven. I am concerned that my pass will conflict with the brigade combatives tournament and I would like to be given the opportunity to share with you why I feel an exception should be made and my request for a pass should be approved. On December 31, 1998, my family and I opened a time capsule that we had packed away ten years ago. Among the contents included was a questionnaire, it inquired about politics, entertainment, and technology among other culturally relevant subjects. I was 18a in 2002 so as I wrote out my predictions of flying cars and re-animating George Washington for president I also listed my goals. My first goal was to go to college; I graduated from the University of Kansas in the summer of 2004. My second goal was to join the United States Army; I joined on October 31, 2001. I now have a new list of goals; short-term and long term. My long term goals involve becoming an NCO and earning my Masters degree. However, while I am in AIT, my goal is to render myself as an asset to Bravo Company 264. As the platoon guide I fulfill my obligations everyday by arriving early to formations, receiving and reporting accountability, and distributing information to my fellow soldiers so that our platoon is squared away and ready to work. During the time that I have been at Bravo Company I have volunteered my time to participate in the Drill and Ceremony competition and I attended a Women’s Heritage month seminar. I have had such an enlightened experience with the Army and I feel that I have accomplished so much that I would like to share it with my family. I am asking that my pass be approved so that I can spend time with them as, they were not able to make it to my graduation from Basic Combat Training. We made plans on the tenth of February for my mom, sister, brother, and dog to drive to San Antonio from

    The Coast Guard Academy is my primary choice for college right after high school because of its excellence in higher education. If accepted into the Academy, I expect the four years of being a cadet to be very rigorous and challenging. I know that the Academy is not for everyone, but I know deep in my heart that this is for me. Ever since I was a kid, I have known my father to be a very brave and courageous police officer serving in the LAPD. He has really inspired me to be like him and I know that the Academy has so much to offer and if given the privilege of attending there, I would learn to become a great leader and meet many incredible people along the way who could guide me. When I heard about the Coast Guard Academy, all I could think about was what I could do to increase my chances of getting in. I’ve constantly been on the Coast Guard Academy website going through things over and over again. I’ve been through the entire website countless of times learning things each and every time. During the summer, I had the privilege of being able to attend the AIM program and I was completely blown away by it. At first it seemed very difficult because of the Cadres, but after getting to know each and every one of them, they turned out to be really amazing people and after just one week, I knew that the program had only made me want to attend the Academy even more. After coming back from AIM, I studied the booklet we were given day and night memorizing everything in it. Ever since then, I’ve had the Mission of the United States Coast Guard Academy engraved in my heart and mind. After coming back from AIM, I also learned how very physically demanding it was. The weather can be especially hot and since the day I’ve come back from AIM, I’ve trained vigorously every week to improve my physical strength by doing burp bees, push ups, mile runs, squats, and most importantly eating healthy to improve my body’s physical condition.…

    All my life I have wanted to be affiliated in the military. Four to five years ago I had very low self confidence in myself and others and not very great aspirations. My plan was to enroll in the marines after high school and attain my college education from the military. My primary aspiration for my life was to exceed the achievements of my mother, who didn't graduate high school. I wanted to be able to say if I could do it why couldn't you? My mind and heart were consumed by the dreadful thought of my brothers and how they would never have the opportunities that I have been blessed with. It wasn't until I had opened up to my uncle Derek who is a marine that I had a change of…

    First and foremost, I would like the permission to speak freely because I want to say what's on my mind because since I arrived to AIT I thought this phasing process is the most ridiculous process I've ever heard of in my entire life and I want to address it. With all due respect to the people who thought of these absurd rules, but I think it is the biggest waste of time for AIT soldiers who should be focused on the main objective being in AIT, school and studying for school.…

    I enlisted in the Army in September 1997 because I wanted to serve my country as my father did. My father retired as a Master Sergeant (E7) with 22 year of service in the U.S. Air Force. He instilled a sense of pride and a calling to service that I could not leave unanswered. I found my calling in the U.S. Army as a Field Artilleryman and grew to become a highly trained and adaptable Non-Commissioned Officer. My one desire is to cultivate disciplined well trained Soldiers and Junior Non-Commissioned Officers while serving at the Senior Non-Commissioned Officer level.…

    Army Rotc Essay

    • 5 Pages

    Raised in a military family, I consider myself an organized, dedicated, adventurous and motivated person. My father has been a great influence in my life and an honorable example of a military man who serves the people of our nation with pride. At an early age I learned about sacrifices, “This We Will Defend,” honor, respect and devotion to duty. I truly believe in what the Army stands for hence why it would be a great privilege to join the few and elite members of the prestigious Officer’s. There are many reasons I would like to become one of the officers. I want to serve alongside the Army men and women who’s work and valor have helped keep this nation safe. I want to help keep our nation a safe place and be able to give back to society. I want to continue in my fathers footsteps and make my family proud. Four years in the ROTC will prepare me in making sound decisions by providing me with the tools needed for the everyday challenges and adversities met with on a daily basis by an Army Officer. As a cadet I expect to work hard to become better educated, physically, emotionally, and mentally fit as well as developing into a more inspiring team player and leader of character. One of my goals have been to be eligible to take honor and advance placement classes in preparation for university. I have achieved my goal by sacrificing, staying focused, asking for help and being persistent in my studies. Moreover, I have been taking honors and advance classes since my freshmen year. Other goals I have set and met include improving my score for my track meets and reading 150 books for my grade every year. My goals have helped me hone my work ethics and without diligence I would not have been able to accomplish my goals.…
