Summary: A Career As A Platoon Sergeant
I want to be a platoon Sergeant because I want to push the squad leaders to do everything they are capable of for helping the Let 1’s succeed in the program. In addition, I want to make sure every squad leader is taking their job seriously and is completing all their assignments. One of my favorite things to do is to motivate cadets and students to do more than they think they can do. It may be hard at the moment to give it your all, but when you’re done completing the assignment or task it will be worth it. My goal as a Platoon Sergeant is to make sure everyone is trying their hardest and giving it their all in drill, PT, and leadership labs.

    A Long Way Gone: Memoirs A Boy Soldier

    The violence found and experienced in war is an entity so vigorously potent and robust that it can easily consume and ruin even the most capable human beings, let alone children who are still developing their own minds. In Ishmael Beah’s novel A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, the retrospection of a boy’s attempt to survive and flee from a war in Sierra Leone expresses the consequences of extreme violence and war that influence the physical, psychological and social characteristics of a person. Certainly, Ishmael’s many violent experiences teach a lot about the intended consequences or repercussions of acts of violence. In the novel, the transformation of Ishmael from an innocent boy to a mindless killing machine due to exposure to…

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Surface Warfare Officer

    It would be an honor and a privilege to continue my service as a Surface Warfare Officer. I had the pleasure of being assigned to the USS Chung-Hoon during my senior Midshipman cruise. While on the Chung-Hoon, I was tasked with assuming the role of conning officer. I was held to the same expectation as my running mate; I was to have in-depth knowledge of the ship’s navigational capabilities, report for duty fully prepared to assume responsibilities, and, at all times, be diligent when working in unison with the different departments of the ship in order to assure safe navigation. Working with the officers and crew on the Chung-Hoon was the greatest lesson in leadership I experienced, and serves as the point in my life where I knew I was destined to be a warfighter. I know that as a Surface Warfare Officer,…

    Battalion Commander

    As Battalion Commander I would be able to move the Jaguar Battalion to become a more productive and motivated set of cadets that we have seen since my freshman year in JROTC. I have numerous plans to achieve these goals and will more likely be able to acomplish them by doing the following; having company set goals, a fundraising chart to have an interactive view on which company is raising more money, fitness charts set around each JROTC room to show cadets proper movements on excercises, stretches, fitness goals and proper diets to help maintain and have a healthy body. I will also have Cadet Challenge requirement guidelines in each room to help cadets know what they need to achieve in order for them to recieve special awards or high scores on the Cadet Challenge when the date comes. These are just few of many ideas that I have to help and improve our Jaguar Battalion to become the best battalion we have ever seen in ELCHS.…

    Statement Of Purpose: I Am In The Cadet Program

    Well first I commit to cadets by attending every Monday night and team practices unless I have a school activity to attend to or info sessions about my future education. I answer the questions the fellow cadets have for me. I would help the officers whenever they needed. I always get my tasks done in a quick and efficient way such as cleaning up the armoury. Some aspects of being a FSgt is of course taking on a leadership role. I have just started being a fully-fledged senior NCO so it may be hard for me at first but I will always do my best. Being a leader includes looking for the safety of others, take responsibility for your own team, speak out your own concerns to the cadets and be a role model to the younger cadets. Some traits I believe a FSgt should have are having morals, not being biased (treat everyone equally), have confidence in everything you do, be organized, and get things done. I will follow these conducts of a good leader and be a FSgt everyone looks up to. There are also things that I need to work on such as projecting my voice and don’t get things done last minute, do them way before the deadline. These weaknesses of mine will sure become my…
