im curious, in the motivational statement on a civilian application, what do they ask you guys to write about? as far as active duty members go, they ask us to write about why we want to be commissioned, personal and professional goals, and our strengths/personal characteristics we posses. that is the first part...the second part of our personal statement is for us to discuss what the navy core values mean to us and how they will apply to us as naval officers. is that the same as you all? sam
