As a Seabee, it is my duty and responsibility to maintain the highest degree of integrity while serving my country with honor, courage, and commitment in the United States Navy. When I think of the word "integrity" as a person, I think naturally of pms checks. When we perform maintenance, we value the assurance that we have completed the check to the best of our ability, because the battalion relies on us to make sure the equipment has been inspected, both during PMS, and during prestart. As a member of naval mobile construction battalion eleven, I have been taught the importance of taking care of our civil engineer support equipment and ensuring the quality of their condition whenever we inspect and conduct maintenance on them. Every one of my shipmates' lives depends on my personal integrity in ensuring that our civil engineer support equipment are squared away.
In JROTC you have to say this creed. If you can learn that creed and remember what it says, it’s another thing that will help. I know the whole creed by heart, but there’s this one sentence that has stuck with me more than any other line in the whole creed. It says, “I do not lie, cheat or steal. I will always be accountable for my actions and deeds”.
This program also builds leaders. Leadership is very important in the generation that we live in now. If we had no leaders or leadership or communities, schools, jobs, states and countries would be a complete disaster. Discipline is also something that I need to improve on. I also enrolled to help me determine if I want to join the Air force, and I know if I do wish to join the Air force I would need all the values and qualities that JROTC teaches to their students.
I want to enroll in the Army ROTC program to create an opportunity to serve my country as a leader of character and gain the knowledge I will need to be successful. By being a part of the ROTC program in college I will be able to gain experience through training, classes that will have a distinct effect on my future. I believe that the ROTC program will give me opportunities that I wouldn’t normally be able to experience; this will help develop my leadership skills. Having these capabilities will be an important virtue in fulfilling my duties as an Army officer. All my life I’ve always wanted difficult challenges and been determined to excel in each of them.
Another way that I show loyalty is by wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army. Not only am I a Cadet but a Student Athlete as well. I will come to practice and training to better my performance as well as score points for the team to participate in big events; which fall under duty. "Treating others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same," is what I live by. Respect is trusting that all people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty.
Career Reflection Paper The career path in which I have chosen to follow is United States Army Soldier. However, as I have inched closer to reaching my 20-year mark in the Army and prepare for retirement, I have chosen to complete my collegiate studies, so that upon my Army retirement, I can pursue a career as a Human Resources Management Officer. Being a Soldier, has allowed me to not only learn about my own abilities as a leader and hone those skills, but also, I have learned to follow others in pursuit of accomplishing a common goal (a mission). These abilities are going to be extremely helpful in my post Army career in some type of corporation. I have the privilege of being the grandson of two Korean War veterans who both served honorably with the all Puerto Rican, 65th Infantry Regiment.
