JROTC Reflection
When I joined JROTC, I was surprised to see that the way I thought the program was run was the furthest from the truth. The mental image I had painted of drill sergeants ordering cadets around was replaced with a ten-person cadet command that controlled many aspects and operations of the battalion. After sitting in on a few staff meetings, I realized that there wasn’t much ordering going on. The cadets were the ones who would decide how to manage events, training schedules, and many other important aspects. This was the first of the experiences that changed my views on leadership for the

    12 O Clock High Case Study

    Leadership in war time is a dynamic process. No one particular commander is exposed to the same challenge and implements a textbook solution. While leadership doctrine is provided to commanders, it serves more as a guideline than anything else. This situation can be clearly seen in the leadership and management styles of General Frank Savage and Colonel Keith Davenport. Both of these individuals were faced with the challenge of leading a Bomber Group during World War II. Grossly undermanned and equipped, their directive from command was to give maximum effort and fly their assigned missions until replacement aircraft and personnel could be brought up to the front.…

    Field Service Support Group Structure

    Like all military officers, I was trained and groomed to be a leader from the time I raised my right hand and took the oath of office. The most important contribution to my success was the emphasis I placed on putting junior member’s needs before mine. I have a code that I live by and it has been very effective as a leader, “Take care of your people, and they will take care of…

    Non Commission Officer Research Paper

    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…

    Chain Of Command Research Paper

    AbstractThe Army uses all four functions of management through a Chain of Command. All leaders throughout the military use at least one function, but multiple leaders working together covers all functions. Always someone is planning, organizing, leading, or controlling. The reason the United States Military is so effective is because leadership and management always try to stay a step ahead. The rank structure provides a guideline to how much a soldier manages. More rank brings more responsibility, more respect, and more use of each function. Though not all functions are needed to be a manager, a good manager does need all four. The Chain of Command is the best example to show leadership, management, and the four functions - plan, organize,…

    Korean War Mission Command Essay

    Assuming command of any Army organization presents a number of challenges a commander must be prepared to confront. Leaders must be cognizant of the “mental shift” required when moving into the position, and how he may execute the principles of mission command. Furthermore, commanders must fully appreciate the need to accurately assess the organization he’s been charged to lead. It so happens, history provides numerous examples of senior officers succeeding and failing in these endeavors. A critical analysis of LTG Matthew Ridgway’s command of the Eight Army and their success during the Korean War highlights these two concepts.…

    Theo104: Module Seven Reflection

    To define yourself as a Christian is to believe in God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the text of the Holy Bible. Many believers think that this is all it takes to be welcomed into Heaven and enjoy the afterlife in peaceful bliss with their maker. Much of what has been learned in this class these past two months has given me the opportunity to explore Christianity beyond face value, as it should be explored. The true model Christian delves into the inner workings of the scripture…

    JROTC

    Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program can be a four-year journey of life changing experiences that build character and leadership. I was a freshman when I first join JROTC, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Throughout my student life being a cadet, I was challenged physically, mentally, and emotionally. But I was able to learn more about teamwork and leadership. The curriculum consists of practical exercises that directly target an individual’s leadership and character. JROTC has taught me what I would not have learned in any other class in high school. Cadets have overcome fears and have formed lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories. Overall, they have found JROTC has molded a sense of character within them just as it has for me.…

    Respect Nco's

    Throughout my time in the military I have been able to be under the leadership of both good and bad NCO’s. The good NCO’s showed me the right way to do things. While in Afghanistan, one of the two team leaders really showed what it means to do the job. If I had difficulty carrying out a task he’d either show me how to do it properly, or a more efficient way of doing it. But he did it in such manner that I began to figure it out myself. I was able to quickly and effectively meld into that team after being moved there from my previous team leader. He would always place his soldiers’ needs before the needs of his own. When the unit we were supporting ordered us to carry out guard shifts, though we had orders that superseded that, he stepped up to the plate and took the brunt of it. He stood not only the tower shifts he was assigned, but took mine and the other soldier assigned to the teams place.…

    The most exciting part of JEP is that I have no idea what I am getting into. While my professor told me, “I would be teaching occupational therapy to students”, I was quite skeptical to this idea. It will be my first time learning this material myself, but now I would have to transfer it to younger students in a comprehensible notion. This aspect of the program still worries me, but simultaneously excites me with what lies ahead.…

    In Dr. Susan Morrison’s Literacy in the Primary Grades (ELED 3523) class I was assigned to create a repetitive pattern book. As a group, we discussed the assignment in class on March 28th, and on April 6th we went to North West Heights Elementary School to work with the first grade students to create the book. I had four students in my group that I worked with. Once we completed creating the story on April 6th, I left to go type, print, laminate, and bind the story. On April 18th, I went back to the school for the children to illustrate their own books.…

    Reflection in Java

    When our professor Sir Joseph Ribo announced that we have to interview a programmer for our project, I was really happy that time because I really want to do interviews. We went at One McKinley Place, Fort Bonifacio, Global City. We interviewed Mrs. Charisse Sarmiento Sulit. When I was still a high school student I already dreamt of being on an office. When we arrived at the place I was really amazed and I noted to myself that “this is where is should be/work after I graduate”. I had fun interviewing the programmer, and the programmer answered the questions briefly. She introduced us her programs, we were amazed on what programs she made. She showed us around and give us ideas on how they work on a program and on how they finish them.…
