What are my goals within the military
Lazard, Courtney R. SGT USA WHMO/WHCA Page 1 of 2
What Are My Future Goals In The Military?
What are my future goals in the Military? I don’t know where my future in the Military will take me. I seem to change what I want to do and where I want to be every year I find something new in the Military. When I first joined the Army I wanted to go all Army for the all Army rifle team. I then found out that you have to try out for the team and I was all the way in Korea and wasn’t going to buy a plane ticket to try out for them team. So needless to say I didn’t want it that bad. While I was in Korea I found out about White House Communications Agency and that became my new dream but back in 2010 I was unable to get accepted in to White House Communications Agency so I had to find a new goal. So I started college so that I can get my degree and hopefully go to law school in the near future but I was a 19 year old child and just wanted to have fun.
While I was at Fort Stewart, GA I noticed how all of the SPC and below was getting missed treated in my unit and no one would be allowed to go to the promotion board so I set out to become a Sergeant so that I can make a change to the leadership in my unit. So needless to say I began my journey to becoming a Non Commissioned Officer. It was hard; I had to go up my whole chain of command in order to get to a Soldier of the Quarter board. While working for my Sergeant the opportunity to join White House Communications Agency was presented to me once again. So I applied for it and I got in this time and started my process to obtain my top secret clearance while I was still fighting to go to the promotion board. I won the Soldier of the month board and Soldier of the Quarter and finally my 1st Sergeant saw it my way with a little motivation from our Command Sergeant Major and I obtained my promotable status and received order to go on to Washington, DC to the White

    CSM Lash L Bailey: A Leadership Analysis

    When I first joined the Army, my intent was never to stay in, as long as I have, let alone contemplate staying in until I retire. If my name is never remembered but my actions are inherited by future leaders, I would feel as though that my legacy has been left in history. To be able to emulate what CSM Bailey has taught me and continues to teach me as I move up in the ranks.

    Marine Corps Accomplishment Report

    Three years in the Marine Corps JROTC program and I knew that I was going to be our next and first female cadet Commanding Officer. At the beginning of my junior year, my third year in the program, that was my goal to reach by the end of the year. I planned and worked hard for it; I took over staff meetings and took all of the responsibilities from my commanding officer at the time. One day, my senior Marine Instructor called me into his office after our drill practice and informed me of my new billet. He told me that I would, in fact, be our next cadet commanding officer due to my outstanding initiative and how well I have set myself apart from everyone else. I knew at that moment this would not be the most important accomplishment of my life,…

    Why I Want To Become A Marine Corps Officer?

    Having been involved in the scouting program for well over a decade and with most of which being during the most formative times of my life, Scouting has certainly contributed to my desire to become a Marine Corps Officer. From the onset of the scouting program I have been instilled with many values, starting every scout function with the scout law, “A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.” While there are many valuable principles thought by both the scouts and the Marine Corps the (65)three main values that both organizations stress of honor, courage, and commitment are among the ones I hold most high. The familiar sense of brotherhood within the Marine Corps is also something that I feel a very close and strong connection with is brotherhood is and was a fundamental part of my close-nit high school community. As an Eagle Scout I was taught to lead by example and as a marine I would strive to do the same, leading from the front and always living up to the standards of honor, courage, and commitment set forth by the Navy and Marine Corps long time-honored history.(63)(128)…

    navy seals

    All my life I have wanted to be affiliated in the military. Four to five years ago I had very low self confidence in myself and others and not very great aspirations. My plan was to enroll in the marines after high school and attain my college education from the military. My primary aspiration for my life was to exceed the achievements of my mother, who didn't graduate high school. I wanted to be able to say if I could do it why couldn't you? My mind and heart were consumed by the dreadful thought of my brothers and how they would never have the opportunities that I have been blessed with. It wasn't until I had opened up to my uncle Derek who is a marine that I had a change of…

    Personal Narrative: Success Through Struggle

    I was back from my first deployment to Iraq with the 1st Battalion 27th Infantry Regiment that lasted fifteen months. Although I had completed my tour there and had accomplished more than many newly turned nineteen year olds I still had an empty space in me I wanted more. I still felt as if I had not accomplished enough. When the deployment was reaching its end I had a talk with one of my section leaders and I remember telling him that I wanted to attend Special Forces Aptitude Selection (SFAS). He like most people didn’t believe me he probably just thought I was like the many people that said things like that to get promoted or into the spotlight. But I meant what I said which although fraught with challenges and ending in…
