    First Lieutant Cross Platoon

    War is devastating to the soldiers fighting in it, and they react in ways that seem abstract and foreign. Tim O’Brien’s short story “The Things They Carried” details the struggles of a platoon that represents the entire U.S. Army throughout the war effort in Vietnam. O’Brien writes about of the strange tactics of the people within First Lieutant Cross’ Platoon; whether it is bad leadership, drug use or the struggles of being Native American within Vietnam. O’Brien addresses the issues that were taking place in Vietnam by using the platoon to mirror what he saw was wrong. The initial issue O’Brien saw when he went to Vietnam was awful leadership.…

    Why I Should Be A Lance Morporal

    I believe I should be a Lance Corporal because I know that I can lead other cadets as well as ensuring that both I and other cadets are ready to begin their lessons. This is because at detachment I have been getting drums, ear defense and spare bugles, flutes and sticks out of the cupboard every Monday before parade to make sure that we can get straight into lessons without having to mess around finding equipment. I can also take responsibility because I have been starting to teach lessons at detachment, for example teaching new drummers how to play their instruments, and taking parades, as well as taking responsibility for myself by turning up in an ironed kit and polishing my boots before I come into cadets. I have also taken up a responsibility role in the corps of drums by being the bass drummer because my job in that is to provide a tempo for the other instruments to follow to make sure the music plays at the right speed and that everyone can keep in time.…

    Essay On Military Leadership

    Military leadership isn’t simply about leading a group of individuals to accomplish the mission. On the surface it may seem this way; a barrage of loud, authoritative orders being barked out to brainwashed enlistees. This is how the preponderance of the masses that aren’t associated with the military may see us. However, it’s much, much more than that. Military leadership is about leading individuals to become something more than they ever thought they could be. To develop an individual into one of integrity and excellence. To help them reach goals they never thought possible and to consider a world beyond their own. Truly, there is no other form of leadership quite like it.…

    Lessons In National Honor Society

    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.…

    Why I Want to Be a Nco

    Why I Want to Be a Nco

    I want to be a NCO because I want responsibility to lead Soldiers. I think I will be a good NCO. I was put in a NCO slot before in my last unit. I had respect from other soldiers in my squad when I was put in charge. I believe have the qualities to motivate other Soldiers. However, I know I need to take initiative better before I become a NCO. Taking initiative is a great trait to have when I am a NCO. It will show my Soldiers and my peers that I am willing to step up and take charge if others will not. I will stand out in a positive way above my peers, becoming noticed by my superiors as having the qualities of a great leader and NCO. I want to be a NCO that will always set new standards. While the Army has minimum standards for which tasks should be accomplished, I want to be that NCO that always tries to excel beyond the minimum. I want my Soldiers to speak highly of me and I will push my Soldiers to the best above the rest. I want to be the NCO that others will look at and say, “That’s how I want to be when I become a NCO.” Once I become a sergeant, I should never allow myself to slow down and relax. Instead, always try to achieve the next rank and the next position. Never get too comfortable where I’m at, I might not ever want to leave it. I realize a NCO should always strive to better themselves professionally. I learned from my superiors that when the time is right I can take over for them. Likewise, training those below me for the same, they can be ready to fill that empty slot. Do not talk about wanting to be the best, go out and become it. I would have the opportunity to have a positive influence on Soldiers and continue to set the example that has been laid out before me by my leaders. I would be honored to have considered myself to be part of that time honored corps. Avoidance of toxic leadership begins by setting the example of being a leader. I want to take the next step in my military career by growing as…
