Marine Option NROTC Scholarship Recipient
Hey AW! This is my first post and I would greatly appreciate some constructive
critique on my NROTC Marine Option essay. Thanks!
*This is for the Marine FCB Scholarship, I'm not sure if its 1500 words or characters required*
The essay should be no more than 1500 words. At a minimum your essay should discuss why you want to become a Marine Corps Officer and what attributes you possess that would benefit the Marine Corps and what it means to become a Marine Officer.
My desire to become a Marine Corps Officer is not for the benefits or monetary pay, but for the camaraderie, experience, and opportunity to serve God, Country and Corps as a career officer. The Marine Corps’ esprit de corps in the Core Values invigorate my aspiration of becoming one of the Few. The attributes I possess truly reflect the Five Horizontal Themes, as they are indicated in my multiple roles as a leader.
Marine Corps Officers carry a bearing that no other military branch can uphold. This factor alone is enough to motivate an aspiring youthful like me to join the distinguished ranks of commissioned Marines. To make the most of life is why I covet the title of a Marine Officer, as well as the chance to serve this nation as a career officer of many years. Additionally, the camaraderie seen through the ranks of Marines embodies a brotherhood that I wish to be a part of.
Whether in the classroom, behind the podium or out on the track, I lead with attributes that are beneficial to both the Marine Corps and my peers. The traits I characterize are my initiative, open-mindedness, incisive cognition, improvisation, personable care for others, and ability to exemplify “Ductus Exemplo”. Utilizing my own experience and observations, I am able to assess tasks with decisiveness. My tenure as Cross Country Captain, Senior Class Vice President, and Rifle Team Commander of my school are just a few indicators of my attributes in action.
Becoming a commissioned officer of the finest branch this nation has to offer means to have an invaluable sense of purpose in life that no other career can provide. To carry the responsibility set out by the President of the United States is a most admirable accomplishment that I wish to achieve in my coming years as a prospective Marine Corps Officer.
