My goal in life " In the military, I learned that ‘leadership’ means raising your hand and volunteering, for the tough, important assignments." -Tulsi Gabber That means that leadership is not only leading or guiding a group of people it is about sacrificing yourself in the hard times My goal is to be a successful officer in the military by being a good leader, having discipline, and by obtaining an advanced degree in military science. Firstly; Leadership is the activity of leading, influencing, and motivating group of people or an organization to achieve a goal or complete a mission .In military leader ship is the one of the most important attributes for officers so, in order to be a good leader in the army i have to be always confident …show more content…
another example of military rituals is saluting officers who have higher ranks .show up before time in military is essential due to the fact that no one likes a person who is late especially for officers being late is huge problem for example: if the officer is not showing up on time that means that he will not be a good role model for his solders especially recruits who need guidance and support …show more content…
And it is the the key of success and it will help me so much to achieve my goal in military to get a high rank but it will not be easy at all because I need to put a lot of effort and work hard even though i might face some difficulties such as: being busy all day and don’t have enough free time could be a problem so, thus I need to manage my time, do my duties and never procrastinate . so, in order to achieve that goal I need to get bachelor degree in military science and security studies and also I have to get the master's degree in military science to help me to get higher ranks because if I didn’t get the masters degree on military science I am not going to get promoted to a rank higher than lieutenant colonel. . Therefore: I have to do my best due to the fact that ministry of defense choses the elite officers from all military branches in Saudi Arabia and officers from other countries to get the master's degree
I want to learn and become a better person, a more knowledgeable person, a more focused person, a more driven person, and most importantly, a leader.

As far as my plans for the future of my military career I would like to become an officer and stay in as long I can and become an accomplished officer. This is a job I have always wanted to
Now that we have started to read part of Don Quixote and Unamuno, there is something that resonates with me. It has to deal with the following quotes from Unamuno: “The one who considers himself the leader is often being led, and the faith of the hero feeds on the faith he inspires in his followers….We must usually be believed so that we may believe in ourselves; if it were not a monstrous heresy and a manifest impiety I would maintain that God is nourished by the faith that men feel in Him” (Unamuno, 160). It is through this quote that I, or so I believe, view being a leader in a new light. While it commonly thought that a leader, say a supervisor or your boss, is leading you (say by simply giving you instructions) it is rarely the case that we believe that we are also leading them.
Through the past 11 years that I have been an enlisted Soldier, I have seen the value of leadership and the effect good and poor leadership can have on Soldiers and
Ever since I can remember, I have always felt a calling to serve my country. One of the reasons for my calling of service has been the influence of my family throughout my childhood. My father was a lieutenant in the Army National Guard prior to being injured and placed a high importance on honor and commitment. In addition, one of my Great Grandfathers was a Marine Captain in the Pacific Theatre during WWII and my other Great Grandfather was seriously injured during the Battle of Guam. As a child, I looked up to my dad and grandparents because I knew that they had taken a stand to protect our country.
During the course of my Noncommissioned Officer Academy course I have learned numerous terms, and theories that can assist me in doing my part to make the Air Force better. My vision statement is: Utilizing the correct tone as a team leader to inspire flexibility during conflict, and negotiations to optimize continuous improvement. Over the next 3 to 5 years, I believe that working towards this statement will cause a ripple effect among my airmen, and shape the future leaders of our Air Force. This will enable those I led to be more receptive to create change while maintaining relationships. Additionally, to achieve this goal relies on my ability to apply my vision because this plan will not happen overnight.

In order to run a successful organization, especially a good standing Army, there needs to be quality leaders within the organization. Leaders are artists, remaining flexible and adaptable in order to conform to any certain situation. In FM 6-22, leadership is defined as, “the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization”. The vast majority of successful Army leaders exemplify this definition in their everyday life. So, what exactly does this process involve?
According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 80% of the careers in the United Sates Armed Forces are non-combat, which only leaves 20% of the careers in the Armed Forces to fulfill combat affiliated roles. With roughly 2.6 million people in the United States military, that leaves approximately 520,000 people in combat-affiliated roles (Henderson & Dolphin, 2007). The five branches of the United States Military are Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Navy, and Marines. Each branch of the military has specific jobs, specialties, and responsibilities that work in conjunction with each other to ensure the safety of the United States of America. Different careers within each branch of the military serve a tremendous purpose, but places an enormous
He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent" (McCarther 2015). A leader should lead from the front and also have the ability to think quickly on their feet and take care of their Soldiers.

I have held many leadership positions before I became a Career Counselor in the Army. I know what it’s like to be in a management position at the age of 16, when I was the youngest manager of a movie theater in my hometown. In the Army, I have worked my way up from a private first Class to a promotable Staff Sergeant in 11 years of active federal service. There are many different types of leaders in the military. While the individual job duties may vary, the skills that define an Army leader are unique and essential.
Leadership comes in all shapes and sizes and there are many opinions on what makes a good leader. In my opinion, leadership is defined as a person who inspires others to act in a manner that is systematic of success. This success can be in many different forms such as personal success, team based success, mission success, etc. Leadership comes from people who truly inspire, and do not simply manage. The principles of good leadership according to different leaders may vary, but are often centered on character traits which too can vary.
I’m still not sure which branch of military I want to join, but I do know which law enforcement agency I want to join; the U.S. Marshals! I also know that high school is going to help me achieve my goal of joining the military, then becoming a U.S. Marshal. Both careers require a high school diploma. You must pass a written exam and

This past December, I graduated from Tidewater Community College with an associate degree in general studies and was promoted to Petty Officer Second Class in the United States Navy. I never expected to become a community college graduate. I never imagined I would join the military, either. Up to this point, my educational and career journey has been thoroughly non-traditional—marked by twists and turns, changes of heart, and changes of plans. Going forward, however, the path is much clearer.
