Jrotc
Why Did I Enroll In JROTC I enrolled in JROTC mostly because of my family. My dad was in the US Air Force and retired shortly after I was born, my oldest brother joined the US Navy about 2-3 years ago and my sister joined the early entry program for the US Navy and is going to boot camp in July, my brother was practically born to join the US Marines, and 3 of my 4 brothers have been or are in JROTC. It was only natural and the sane thing to do that I joined JROTC because we are practically a Military oriented family and I wouldn’t want it anyother way. I also thought it would be good for me because since this my first year in High School and that it would help me prioritize my work, help me find new friends, build my self-esteem, and learn how to become like my brothers. In my opinion my brothers are the very definition of leaders. Now that it is the end of the semester, my reasons of joining were proved right. I have become better at being a leader, I have made a bunch of friends, i’m more comfortable in the way I live my life and the things I do, and I know how to keep my grades up in High School, and even if I don’t I know how to try and keep them up. I love JROTC and there is no doubt in my mind that I will come back next

    Naval Service Mission Statement

    Furthermore, what initially interested me in the naval service was my family's involvement in the military. Ever since I was a child, I was inspired to become a military officer knowing my father was a non-commissioned officer in the Coast Guard and when my sister commissioned into the Navy as an officer becoming head of the physician and medical department on Naval bases. I was then driven to pursue a similar ambition to strive towards serving my country in the Navy as a lifelong career. My father works for the Air Force and growing up around planes; I generated interest for flight and the science behind it. I want to receive education from one of the top rated engineering institutions in the…

    In The United States Marine Corps (NROTC)

    The Armed Forces is something my family is quite familiar with and has been an influential part of my life as a structure of leadership. My dad has told me a multitude of things he has experienced while in the Army and the opportunities given at hand when he was enlisted. I have also heard praises from many family members and family friends to the loved ones that have taken another step ahead by enrolling into college, and enhancing their leadership skills to become well renowned officers of the military. I will be taking this same road of success, but pushing it another level by applying for the NROTC, which will train my mind and body to guide others when I am commissioned into the Marine Corps.…

    Mountains Beyond Mountains Analysis

    During my junior year the biggest event I had to plan was the social event for the battalion: military ball. The event was one eagerly looked forward to, and rightfully so, as it was always a blast with the cadets and fostered many memories that will last a lifetime. I took planning this event very seriously and in the end many told me that it was the best military ball to date. Several cadets came to me after the formalities had concluded and thanked me for putting in the time and effort to make military ball happen. Seeing their gratitude and smiles on their faces made me feel appreciated and I knew that all the hours I had put in and almost wanting to tear my hair out in frustration had not gone in vain. During my senior year, another crucial event within the program changed. The criteria for our annual inspection had been altered drastically and we had to start from scratch will almost everything. This inspection is what JROTC works toward the entire school year, due to the fact that if a program receives a low score a certain amount of times, then the program can be disbanded. I, along with my staff, worked for months making sure that we had everything we needed and that our presentation was the best it could be. When the day of inspection finally came around, our hard work paid off. The battalion received a perfect score and was officially the best JROTC program in the county. This was the first time since my high school JROTC program’s conception in 2000 that we had received a perfect score on the…

    Why Attend A Service Academy Essay

    At a service academy, the people that attend are there to get an education and train to be an officer in the military. They are there to gain valuable life and military skills. In my opinion, that is more appealing than any college. I want to surround myself with people that have the same goals and aspirations as me, and I believe that the Academy can provide that. During the week that I was at the Air Force summer seminar, I learned about life at the Academy. I knew going into that week, that I would either love it or hate it. Throughout the week I spent time doing physical training, going to classes, and learning about life at the Academy. After that week, I knew I wanted to attend the Air Force Academy. I knew I belonged. I want to attend…

    Reflective Essay: The Role Of Women In The Army

    The week in which they came to my school I decided to go up to them and ask for information about the army. My friends would never a picture me as wanting to join the army they would see me as a girly girl, a girl in which doesn’t like getting down and dirty. The moment when I decided to tell them that I wanted to join the army my friends started judging me telling me that I’m going to look like a male. Some of them would say that the only reason why I want to join the army is to date or marry an army solider. When they came to that assumption I was taken back that my own friends doesn’t see me as a female wanting to join the army just to gain the experience. I got pressure from them, reason why I should stop pursuing the army they told me that I would get kill and that I shouldn’t do it. They would also tell me the horror story about how female in the military would get sexual harass while serving, and pretty much trying to convince me to get out by every way necessary. With all their assumption it wasn’t enough to make me back out of joining, so I went up to the recruiter and got information and went home to tell my…

    National Junior Honor Society Applicati

    Joining National Junior Honor Society could result in new opportunities that pertain to my future , help me get into college, teach me things and give me the opportunity to help other people besides myself. In hopes of becoming a member of this honor society, I would fully dedicate myself to participating in the club. I would do my best to fulfill my duties as a member like attending Homecoming, tutoring, food and clothing drives, fundraisers and service projects whatever they may be. I want to be in this society because I hope it will teach me the fundamentals of the future such as leadership and cooperation. I feel as though I could be a fundamental asset to the upbringing of this honor society. I hope that I will be able to prolong my experience as a member all through the rest of high school thus giving me the edge to get ahead to college. This club could help me make friends as well. Joining the honor society would help me get acquainted with more teachers who would help me get accepted and admitted into the right college and the right future. This honor society could prepare me for the upcoming future in that it could teach me to become a more punctual and successful person in society. I believe I could be an adamant member because I challenge myself constantly, strive towards new goals, and have maintained near academic perfection since kindergarten. When I was younger I participated in a local spelling and I got all the way to the top; unfortunately, I failed to win because I misspelled the word “holiday.” From that day forward I committed that word to memory so that I would never make such a foolish mistake again. I learned that day that I should not strive for total perfection but for my very best and that is what I can offer if chosen to be a fellow member. I was chosen as a candidate to display the academic prestige but I believe I can offer so much more like exemplary efforts of leadership,…
