Paul Cantz A goal is whatever an individual is striving to accomplish (Locke, 1996). Every individual has goals they set out to accomplish whether they are aware that they are goals or not. Goals bring motivation to individuals because of the need to accomplish that goal. Goals can bring both negative and positive motivation. In the United States Army the main goal is to protect the freedom of the United States of America. To accomplish this goal Soldiers have to be trained by Noncommissioned Officers (NCO). NCOs have different techniques to motivate Soldiers to help better their interest in the training. These techniques can include rewards, praise, and pride. The job of the NCO is never over always changing so NCOs have to stay motivated in order to accomplish the goal of training Soldiers. Job satisfaction is how content an individual is in going to work every day and performing at the highest levels. NCOs do not have to worry too much about job stability because they are under contract with the Army but job satisfaction is something NCOs have to work hard to achieve. If NCOs are not satisfied with the job than the yearly evaluation will show standard performance but not stellar performance.

I am proud of the Corps of Noncommissioned Officers and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the Military Service and my country regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety.
Competence is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind—accomplishment of my
