“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” – Abraham Lincoln. In the Army, we are taught essential values to keep in mind and to live out. The Army Core Values consist of seven terms that make up a soldier: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Self Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. These seven Army Core values are in every soldier of the United States Army including one of the most widely known U.S. leaders, Abraham Lincoln.…

As a Non Commission Officer in the United States Army, my leadership philosophy is simple. Taking care of each other is always a priority. Supporting our patients, comes first as we are responsible for ensuring the health and wellbeing for some of our finest men and women in America. Ensuring the wellbeing being of Military family member is also a priority as that gives our troop a peace of mind and therefore are able to focus on the mission rather that worry about what is going on at home.…

Each of us comes to work every day with our own experience, our own perceptions about life. In and out of uniform we have an individual responsibility to eliminate sex harassment, not taking action goes against the seven core Army values, from the first days in basic training we were drilled on the importance of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage, we was thought to work together creating a teamwork relation, team work is undermined by sexual harassment. It is our responsibility and duty to live these values in everything we do no matter where we are or what we are doing. Victims of sexual harassment sometimes find it difficult to find their voice and seek help, but the Army's Sexual Harassment/Assault…
The Army of the United States of America was founded 241 years ago, on 14 June 1775, with the following mission in mind: 1) Preserving the peace and security, while providing for the defense of the United States. 2) Supporting the policies of the nation. 3) Implementing the national objectives. 3) Overcoming any nations responsible for aggressive acts that imperil the peace and security of the United States. To complete this mission, the United States Army created the outline by which all Army personnel are to exemplify and abide by to ensure that all it's members live up to the higher standard in which they are held. This outline is known as the Army Values: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Personal Courage, and the most important…
Essentials of being an outstanding officer of the U.S. Army are standard driven strong personalities. Additionally, knowledge must be present to reduce possible mistakes in progress. I genuinely expect my degree program to be helpful with the knowledge…
“ The Army is an organization that instills pride in its members because of its history, mission, capabilities, and the respect it has earned in the service of the Nation. A reflection of that pride is visible in the customs, courtesies, and traditions the army holds. Adherence to them connects us with soldiers throught America's History. “…
As the Army transitions from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, the organization is well served to take a long look in the mirror. After ten plus years of deployments, our combat tested warriors are sure to possess more than enough valuable knowledge to reinforce and improve upon our status as a profession. A TRADOC published paper explains “to be a professional is to understand, embrace, and competently practice the expertise of the profession.” I believe the profession of arms exists and there are many components that reinforce this argument. Among these components, initial entry training and institutional learning, shared values, and a monopoly on our mission are three of the most important tenants. All Soldiers must graduate from Basic Combat Training and all officers must graduate from a commissioning source. Similar to medical school or law school in other traditional professions, these schools set the foundation for years of practice that will lead to expert work. From the first day in these schools, Soldiers are taught the seven Army values and the Soldiers creed. Comparable to the Hippocratic Oath, these words set basic principles all Soldiers must live by. Last, no other organization has the knowledge, material, or will to ensure national defense and security. The Army’s unique and expert work ensures it is a profession in the truest sense of the word.…
The United States Military has always been an influential and important part of my life growing up as child. My grandfather was a Marine who fought in the battle of Okinawa during World War II and he has always instilled a deep sense of pride and respect for my country in me. As a child, I dreamt that one day I would have the honor and the opportunity of becoming a member of the United States military and make him proud. Today, I serve in the United States Army as a Non-Commissioned Officer and I have had the pleasure of leading and mentoring junior enlisted soldiers, as well as my peers, for the past ten years. I believe my experience, professionalism, and leadership will be helpful in serving my country as a United States Army Officer.…
When you make decisions out of your core-values; you will conduct actions the right way, the outcomes are generally positive, and the results are easier to accept. Despite fear and uncertainty, my decision to enlist in the army upholds this philosophy as I knew it was the right moment for me to step out of my comfort zone. During my four years of serving as an active duty soldier; I earned Distinguished Honor Graduate in Advanced Individual Training, achieved the rank of Sergeant, mentored two soldiers whom got promoted to Sergeant, and earned numerous awards for my job…
Loyatly, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Integrity, personal courage. The army values that hold the army together from the very core. The army values is the foundation of professionalism. Loyatly to your job is professional to the job on the fast that your boss can then count on you to be on time and trust you. In the army it shows your sergeants that you can be trusted with tasks and they know you'll do your job. Integrity shows you will not take and you will always do what is right no matter the situation you are in. Personal courage is a main building block to…
The Marine Corps core values are very important. Honor, courage and commitment are part of each and every marine’s dedication to his or her corps. The Marine Corps core values are the corner stone of the Marine Corps and have been passed on through generation to generation through classes and through example. They are the guiding principles and beliefs that give us strength, influence our attitudes, and regulate our behavior. They must be displayed not only on the field of battle but off as well. They are important because the Marine Corps core values are what bond us marines into a family and into a fighting force capable and ready to face and overcome any challenge put in our way.…
Lack of this in a service member not only hinders the mission of the command but of the entire Army. LOYALTY, DUTY, RESPECT, SELFLESS SERVICE, HONOR, INTEGRITY, and PERSONAL COURAGE are Army core values that are instilled in each personnel’s life the instant that the oath of enlistment is pledged. Loyalty is to bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. constitution, the Army, and other soldiers. Be loyal to the nation and its heritage. Duty is to fulfill your obligations. Accept responsibility for your own actions and those entrusted to your care. Find opportunities to improve oneself for the good of the group. Respect is to rely upon the golden rule. How we consider others reflects upon each of us, both personally and as a professional organization. Selfless Service is to put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own. Selfless service leads to organizational teamwork and encompasses discipline, self-control and faith in the system. Honor is to live up to all the Army values. Integrity is to do what is right, legally and morally. Be willing to do what is right even when no one is looking. It is our “moral compass” an inner voice. Personal courage is our ability to face fear, danger, or adversity, both physical and moral courage.…
Integrity is one of the most talked about and most abused of the Seven Army Values. First we must define integrity it is doing the right thing consistently. That means that we must do the legally and morally correct thing every time. Just because something is hard or unpleasant does not mean that we can look the other way. Doing the right thing is not a matter of deciding do I help my fellow soldier and let him slide on an Army regulation or do I uphold the regulation. It means doing both they are both equally important. Sometimes helping a soldier means that you must enforce the regulations and in some cases that can mean discharging them from the Army at other times it means fighting for the soldier and getting them the help that they need to succeed in the Army.…
