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…
Graduation for Fort LeBoeuf senior class is almost here, the stress of last minute decisions on where we want to go to school and constantly being asked what do you want to be when you done with school. I have set many goals for myself as a senior at Fort LeBoeuf for my plans after high school. I plan to attend Edinboro University for four years to major in Social Work and minor in Criminal Justice.

I will work hard and be the best student I can be and take every chance I can get to open doors for the future, and to make these next four years at Edinboro the best years so I can be successful in these fields. At the end of these next four years I plan to graduate and apply…
I strongly disagree with you. As a police officer you have specialized training that an average citizen does not have, so therefore I feel that you are obligated to help. I believe that an off-duty officer will more likely than not have his gun and possibly his badge on him. I understand that you work from 8-4:30 and you feel no obligation to do your job after you are off the clock. However, your work is administrative work, Is anyones life in danger if you refuse to help after you are off the clock? Did you take an oath to protect public citizens? If the officer lets a criminal of that magnitude get away, what is his mind frame about crime? If he can sleep at night knowing he could've saved someones life and chose not to for…
I honestly believe that being a ploice officer is very hard. There are some positives and negatives to it. It is obvious that we are all human and make multiple mistakes, and at times we do not agree on the selection of choices that ploice officers use upon the people. Some of the positives are that police officers have the right of arrresting someone who is using illgeal behavior. For an example, say you are at a plaza walking around with your friends, and suddenly you see someone had too much to drink and they are causing a sence; to which you can't avoid or control the persons actions, you will have to call the police and they will settle the situation so it doesn't lead to breaking a law. A negative discretionary decision, would be the…
Being an Officer also means that you would strive to improve others. Bring you subordinates up to your level and then succeeded you. Not only because you are only as strong as the weakest link, but also to ensure you leave the Army in capable hands when you retire.…
My dream for the next four years is to achieve a Physician Assistant degree at St. John’s University. As I transition to college from high school, I understand how there is no one in the world besides myself to help me reach my goal and it will require hard work as well as motivation to reach that point. At times, I feel overwhelmed with the struggles that arise in achieving my degree, but that would not stop me from my main point in coming to this school. I am able to connect my experience to the experience the Nolan’s and my dad went through when it was their time to achieve their dreams. I find it to be very lucky to go to school in New York because I am already one step ahead of my game to fulfill my target since New York is the place where there are many opportunities for everyone. Hence, having a motivated outlook on life, everything that is impossible will be…

1. The ERS identifies officers and non-commissioned officers who are best qualified for promotion and assignments to positions of higher responsibility. ERS also identifies Soldiers who should be kept on active duty, those who should be retained in grade, and those who should be eliminated DA evaluations focus on an individual Soldier's potential. They are judgments on their ability to perform at current and higher grades, and they are also made to judge whether an officer or NCO should be retained and given greater responsibility in their present grade.

The size of the Army leader corps by law in terms of strength by grade. Army needs limit the number of selections and assignments that can be made.

Before transferring to Arizona State University, I was a student at the university in South Korea. At that time, I did not have any goal or dream, so I was not a self-motivated person. I just studied because other people do. As a result, I did not get a good performance in my previous university. However, I wanted to change and improve myself. And to do this, I decided to change my environment by studying abroad. After I came to Arizona State University to study economics, I found my dream which is having a successful business career. My grades are dramatically improved since entering ASU. I am currently maintaining 4.0 ASU GPA during 37 credit hours at ASU. I got a passion for studying to achieve my goal and I became a self-motivated person.…
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.…
I am highly believe that my professional experience in leadership, management, organization, and multi- cultural skills will be helpful in serving my country as an officer in the United States Army. As a civilian in 2007, I was a plant manager for an animal feed producing corporation. I was responsible for sixty workers. In 2009, I taught Chemistry, Geology, Physical Sciences, and Physics for Shades Valley High School in Alabama. While there, I was responsible for the education, training, and mentorship of over 300 students. As a Soldier I served in team leader and squad leader positions, responsible for the safety and well-being of service members assigned to me. I believe being an enlisted member will help me in becoming an effective officer that understands soldiers.…
