Personal Narrative: The Four Navy Seals
It was the summer of 2035 and tensions were rising between NATO and CSAT forces on the island of Tanoa, TAF forces were busy trying to keep peace on the island but with constant combat between CSAT and NATO it is becoming difficult. CSAT forces were trying to conquer the island and establish it as a part of their organization while NATO forces are trying to assist TAF in the defence of their home. Alpha squad, us, we were the first set of troops stationed on the island, we held the most advanced knowledge of the island and how to survive the environment, Alpha squad consists of 4 Navy Seals. Huyder, Field officer kind of a quiet guy, but he is very intelligent in planning and executing operations, Palamarek, Rifleman, Is too very quiet but …show more content…
But there was tons of combat, gunshots, explosions, and lights flickering as every explosion went off and I sat there restrained in a chair alone with nothing but worry for my comrades that I last seen when we surrendered. After a couple of hours it was completely silent and everything was quiet, and the door swung open with 4 marines and a commanding officer from NATO forces, but there uniforms were American mainland uniforms so it was the end. They got to the island so quickly, but I was informed that 2 of my alpha squad members returned to outpost alpha and saved almost 20 marines that held sanctuary there. However the 2 marines that helped us were executed by CSAT forces before NATO reinforcements got to my position. I know that the attempt at taking over that compound was next to impossible, but I still feel dread for all the Marines we lost in that final effort. It is currently 2038 and I still I am alive with my family, but still in denial about all of the marines we lost, all of alpha squad's members got returned to their homes as well and now live with their families. Although I will never forget the ones who weren't fortunate enough to return home and I will always honour them more than

    When establishing a goal plan and putting steps in place to reach those goals, I must ensure that I have the proper support and resources. It is important to have people to rely on, share similar experiences with, and receive advice from. My former Chief Controller and mentor, retired CMSgt Dave Cannon is whom I feel is the best person to ask for that support. As a Chief who spent 30 years in the Air Force and as my first Chief Controller, he posses all of the leadership traits that I strive to emulate, he is who I look up to as a leader. Chief Cannon was my facility manager for the first four years of my Air Force career. I have yet to meet a leader in my chain of command who demonstrated all three adaptability elements, and was excellent at adjusting his leadership styles and FLRD behaviors as needed. He played the role of a facility manager, a leader of Airmen, a family member, and a friend. He was always adjusting, knowing what hat to wear depending on the situation. He is the type of leader I strive to become.…

    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,…

    The next day woke me by the sound of gun fires and our men yelling waking us up. We grabbed our gear and hid behind the rough hills as a shield. It started, as frightened as I already was my friend had just got killed by the blazing bomb. I didn’t know how to feel about it in this rush of survival, so I ran as the next bomb was coming my way. But what could I do about it? I have to protect myself as well. I didn’t put my life at stake I was forced like all the other soldiers. My life is at risk and if I survive I will go home with proud survival guilt. As I had just lost focus of what was happening because I was so shocked thinking this is what war really is; a gun manages to pass through my arm as if I’m not weak already. I fall down to the ground with the scent of dirt southing (soft rustling) through my nose. A blurred vision of my troops fighting was the only other sense apart from the sound of air raid sirens and drones. I can’t believe no one has noticed me, they probably have but don’t…
