I would also like a little help on the statment portion of the package, but not jsut the first statment. I need to good critical reveiw of what I have so I can submit my package within the next month. Read my bio to get all of the stats as well, to see if I will be compettive along for SNA and SNFO.
Here is goes for everyone to tear apart:
PERSONAL STATEMENT
A myriad of reasons have prompted me to strive toward the goal of commissioning. No single reason has had more of an impact than a want to lead at the highest level. Seeking a commission is that very path that I am taking to achieve this goal.
In my current enlisted capacity I have sought out leadership in every position and situation possible. When assigned to NOB Norfolk Chapel as an unrated airman, I sought out leadership with motivation and determination. I took on challenging collateral duties that were two and three pay grades above my own, earning myself a letter of commendation and the respect and admiration of my colleagues. At every duty station I have stood out amongst my peers and lead by the example of hard work and determination. I displayed through action to junior personnel that gaining qualification, fulfilling collateral duty assignments, volunteering in the community and attending college full time while graduating with honors is achievable in every regard. In RP “A” school I lead by principle and organization. I led an efficient and organized duty section of over 150 individuals as well as my class of 20 RP’s, graduating with the highest grade in my this class. Within the community I have lead with responsible stewardship within volunteer, coaching and mentoring capacities with children. I instilled the very principles and core values of leadership needed as an officer to give these children the foundation for success in their lives. These examples show confidence and assuredness in my ability to immediately give quality and productive leadership as a commissioned officer. Leadership as a commissioned officer is at the very core of this motivation and is the ultimate factor that drives me towards a commission.
My desire to lead has also led me to set numerous personal and professional goals. The goals set in each of these areas focus intently on my gaining status as a naval aviator and my contribution to this community. Professionally, my goals are focused on actively pursuing career milestones. Examples of my goals can be seen as follows: Division Officer, Department Head, and ultimately commanding a squadron. Personal goals focus on growth and community stewardship. Goals I have set in this area are seen as follows: pursuing postgraduate education, increased community service and outreach, and gaining my private pilots license. Through the use of my skills and characteristics such as superior oral and written communication, organization, leadership, loyalty, and learning quickly, these goals will be realized. These skills will be sharpened even more through commissioning to mold a superior naval officer and aviator. My goals will be achieved, reflecting great honor on the community that I wish to serve for the remainder of my career.
Continuing to seek out leadership, setting achievable goals, and dedication to personal and professional growth will give the navy an officer that is both motivated to achieve and fully competent in every professional manner. I will be that officer that the Navy values in these ever changing times. I will be the officer that will lead a diverse, team oriented navy at sea, in flight, and on shore.
HONOR, COURAGE, and COMMITMENT
Honor, courage, and commitment have played an integral role in my success as an enlisted sailor and will continue to play a pivotal role well into a commission. During my enlisted time these values have taken on great meaning within the scope of my duties. As an RP, honor plays a critical role in the relationship of superior and subordinate. I have to honor the judgment and orders of my chaplain, which in turn allows for a relationship, forged out of loyalty and consideration for others moral and ethical values. Courage also plays a critical role in my enlisted rating. As an RP in a demanding billet I must have the courage to stand on my own and make decisions that will have an impact on both the Chaplain and RP. I must make these decisions in a leadership capacity, taking full accountability for their outcome while standing firm within my ideals and values that allow me to lead. Finally, as an RP I must be committed to excellence in every aspect of my job. I must make sure that the tasks assigned unto me are completed in a manner that is well above the minimum standards, as I always try to exceed the maximum standards in any assigned task. Each of these values has great meaning and importance within my function as an RP and within being a well rounded sailor and individual. These values can be applied as a person, sailor, and officer, and if used in conjunction with one another can produce a person that will succeed in any assignment.
The applicability of these values to a commissioned officer is similar, yet they are heightened as responsibility and leadership duties are elevated. I will always be mindful of the heightened responsibility to lead. This responsibility is at the very core
of the success of the mission, subordinates, peers and self. I will honor the responsibility to lead effectively and do so in a manner that abides by ethical treatment and moral mentorship of all personnel. I will continue to apply courage; leading by example and using the highest standards of personal, professional, moral and ethical conduct while remaining accountable for the decisions and outcomes that arise out of my leadership capacity. I will continue to uphold an undying commitment to those sailors that are in need of aid, motivation, and guidance to achieve personal and professional goals. These values will continue to guide me as an officer and aviator. They will continue to be the very foundation of my continued success as a front line leader in the United States Navy.
Chop it up fella's and have a good time. Your insight is invaluable and I look forward to seeing the results of some good proofreading and critical evalution.
