Statement Of Purpose To C/2d Lt

1082 Words5 Pages

I should be promoted to C/2d Lt for the following reasons. First and foremost, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to motivate not only myself but the cadets in my flight also. I have shown this by mentoring and coaching my flight to promote and training them for the escape room challenge. Additionally, I have been consistently conscious of my own performance whether that be during drill, teaching, or commanding. During drill I have taught my flight sergeant the six-step teaching method, and I am constantly coaching them on how to improve on it by demonstrating myself using the method to the flight.

Furthermore, as a primary teacher for the cadets in my flight I am constantly talking. Which is both a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing because I can assist these cadets in what they need and help teach them topics monumental in their CAP journey. But as stated it is also a curse. For the simple fact that I talk super fast. And sometimes I give too much information at once. So for the past six months I have been practicing talking slower when giving important information.
