In today’s Army, the Non-Commission Officer corps has made great strides in capitalizing on the core leader competencies and attributes that are required in this profession however much work is still required. As the “War on Terror” dissipates and we transition into peace time operations, we must reestablish the foundation of the NCO Corps. Developing ourselves and our future leaders will ensure our Army is READY to accomplish any task while ensuring the welfare of our Soldiers during any type of operations. From my experience, this line of effort starts with embodying a character that is optimal for today’s force and enforcing standards across all spectrums of Army…
One word to describe myself would be leadership. As the commander of my high school’s JROTC Drill Team, and the President of the National Technical Honor Society I have had many occasions where I had to step out of my comfort zone and take control of situations. Before joining JROTC I did not know what being a great leader was, but after becoming a squad leader I realized I needed to step out of my comfort zone and be the great leader that my squad deserves. Now three years later I am now the Drill Team commander, which I absolutely love being. I love being a guide for others, to be a supporter for them as they go through difficulty. Being a leader has taught me to be humble, to put others before myself. When being a leader you have to realize…
Since the Marine Corps’ beginnings, non-commissioned officers (NCOs) have played an important role in the many successes in the Corps and in the United States.

How would my subordinates describe me as a leader? I have never seemed to think as myself as a leader however, since I have been in the INANG my subordinates would describe me as a good mentor and team builder. I like to work close by those underneath me and be ready to jump in and help when there is an issue. I would also be described as a good listener. When I was a senior airman I was asked by a colonel: If I could change something with our leadership, what would it be? In the back of my mind I thought that was his job, but I answered anyway. I told him that there could be better communication with everything from the hangar to the back shops. From that point on, we would see him working his way around more often to keep in touch and gather feedback. Since then, I like to ask my subordinates ideas of how they would do something better. How would my supervisor describe me as a follower? My supervisor would describe me as a follower that does not have to be told what to do. He would also say that if there was a task that was given to me that he would not have to worry about it getting accomplished. What leadership style do I use? The types of leadership style that I use could be described as a coaching style. I like to do the “watch this method” to see if subordinates get it and then help out. I believe this method works majority of the time because if I respect others then typically they expect me. How would I describe myself as an NCO? I would describe myself as a professional airman that upholds to the CORE VALUES of AIR FORCE. My supervisor would describe me as an excellent NCO and mentor dedicated to the military. What are my strengths? My biggest strength is my social skills and working with others. I enjoy working with others rather than being alone. I do not know many strangers. What is my essence? The qualities that make me who I am are excitement, fun, and action.…
The purpose of this essay is to further my knowledge of the Army NCO support channel, chain of command and why we as Soldiers use them. It is also to inform the parties that may be what I feel loyalty, dedicated service and also my interpretation of Military bearing and Discipline. I am explaining the importance of obeying a lawful order from an NCO and performing that order in a timely manner. The NCO support channel is designed to be subordinate to and supportive of the chain of command. The NCO support channel is not an independent channel. It is mandatory of the users of this channel to ensure that the chain of command is kept informed of actions implemented through the NCO support channel and to eliminate the possibility of the NCO support channel operating outside of command policy and directives. The NCO support channel is used for executing the commander’s orders and getting routine, but important, jobs done. It is used however most often to effect policies and procedures and to enforce standards of performance, training, appearance and conduct. Although the first sergeant and command sergeant major are not part of the formal chain of command, leaders should consult them on individual soldier matters. There are many area that the NCO Support Channel does to assist the chain of command. The NCO support channel ensures junior enlisted maintain a professional ethic. They plan and conduct day to day operations, train soldiers in the MOS and help them build a better knowledge of soldiering. Since physical fitness is a major part of the Armed Forces they must also make sure there fellow and subordinate Soldiers maintain Army height and weight standards and make sure they maintain a good military appearance. They do this by supervising a good training program. The NCO support channel is supposed to teach Soldiers Army history, military customs, courtisies and military tradition. Military discipline and effectiveness is built on the foundation of…

NCO's execute all orders and lead their fellow Marines. An NCO will go out of his or her way in order to aid, or take care of their junior Marines.

A Non-Commissioned Officer is a highly respected role in the Army and those in that role demand respect, and deserve it. To become an NCO you have to be doing something right. You are getting looked at as doing above and beyond your peers. As an NCO you are the one setting the standard, you have soldiers looking up to you, seniors looking down at you and even your peers watching you and judging every move you make. To be an NCO is a hard task, a task made ever harder when you have soldiers that disrespect you, disregard what you say or make you look anything but stellar in front of others. If you are wrong you deserve to be called on it, but tactfully especially by a subordinate.…
