PCPO , First off, I want to start out by thanking you for going through the CCTI. Even though this time honored tradition has change a lot over the years (For the good and the bad) it is still a important part of our service rich heritage that is staying alive because of you and your fellow PCPO’s. A lot of E-7s will not even take two month out of their busy lives to learn about what it really means to be a Chief. CCTI, What a pain in the ASS? Driving all over the great state of Texas (What boring state to drive in!!) to visit really Chiefs so you can wash cars, sing songs, and provide entertainment. On your off time you are trying to build a hat box, complete a charge book, and plan addition CCTI events while at the same time managing your normal lives and …show more content…
Putting your pride aside and asking for help. Remembering we all started at the bottom and worked our way up. Charge: In few sentences, describe in your own words what it means to be humble. Then tell us about one of your most humbling experience. Be prepared to talk to the mess about it. BE THANKFUL The most gratifying think of CCTI to me was the letter my wife wrote to the mess explaining why I am ready to become a Chief. The way she described how proud she of me and how grateful she was to have me in her life was an amazing feeling. She even said that that our family wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for me. The truth is that I wouldn't be where I'm today without her. She is my compass that can get me through any storm and I'm thankful to have her in my life. Charge: To write a letter to someone you are thankful for. Without this person you wouldn't be the person you are today. Explain to them why they are so special to you and thank them. Provide a copy of the letter and give it to them at the dinner or mail it afterwards. Good luck through the rest of the process and welcome to the
COL Freeman beloved by his men, finally left the RCT at noon on 15FEB1951 with tears forming in his eyes. He was devoted to his Soldiers and his ability to assess the situation and ultimately secured a successful mission in Chipyong-Ni. He would issue orders with a “handshake, a grin, and provided words of encouragement before dangerous missions.” Chipyong-Ni was that type of mission. He didn’t like the situation, but issued the order as if he thought of the idea. He set the climate that extended down to the lowest Private in the RCT, to be proud and be victorious.
...at it means to be an NCO. These are our new instruments of war as we face this new, and often intangible enemy. However, it is important that we do not pick and choose which to heed. In our modern Marine Corps we, too often, become impersonal when dealing with those under our charge. We write on our standardized counseling sheets once a month, and are ever ready to serve up a negative counseling or a charge sheet. While these things have their place, we must make sure they do not replace the idea that we, as NCOs, are here to serve those Marines under our charge. No matter what the battlefield. No matter what the fight. NCOs will continue to be the backbone of the Marine Corps. As we press forward, let us never forget the leadership traits that guide us. And let us never forget the NCOs that came before us that taught us what being an NCO is truly all about.
answer to your problems as it is unsatisfying , dangerous, and ultimately leads to even more
As a young Lance Corporal, my first impression of the NCO’s around the Recon Company was varied. As I got to know the others in my platoon, one started to stand out in my daily interactions, SSGT Moeller. He had just gotten off crutches, after a parachute accident broke his tibia and fibula, sitting on the catwalk icing his ankle. When I asked why he was icing his ankle he told me he had just finished an 8-mile run. Now, this was from an injury that should have caused months of painful rehab before running would have been possible, but here he was, sacrificing personal comforts, trying to get back to mission fitness. His reasoning being, he was scheduled to be the Assistant Team Leader (ATL) on the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit(MEU) and didn’t want to miss his chance for Afghanistan. It was at this moment that I got my
I had a hearty breakfast, a badly needed shower, and donned my service dress khaki’s for the first time. I proceeded to the ceremony site where I was joined by my wife, family and friends. The ceremony progressed, niceties were said by many, and the Commanding Officer stressed “the importance of role of a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy”. Finally, the time came to don the anchors of a Chief Petty Officer. My wife, along with my sponsor, joined me on stage to pin the coveted anchors on my collars and don the combination cover of a
There are many people in today’s society who undergo many horrible experiences and are able to overcome the hard trials that are placed in front of them in order to become successful in life. While some individuals suggest that these individuals will struggle throughout life and others saying that they just need a few words of encouragement in order to progress in life. Regardless of one’s opinion, it is very important to remember that no one person has to go through anything alone and that help and encouragement will always be available for those who seek it.
Each chief had internal and external roles during their tenure as police chiefs of their police departments. Chief Davis was very talented, and he was apparently an excellent manager. Chief Davis began to set up a variety of positive internal functions in the department. He began strengthening the support of the community and open up the decision making so that the community could see what was going on. Chief Davis used the four internal functions; he built a system that could result in the agency that communicated well with the community by allowing them access to the organization. Chief Davis used strategic planning to fine away to help the community to understand and set goals. He organized the community support coalition so that they could
I was cadet midway but I got news within the 3rd Quarter he told me I would be the Battalion SGM for the rest of the remaining school year. Also, there was one Formation that will that I would have in my memory which was when I saved a cadet during the Formation. Because I showed how to be humble and became an example that no cadet would be left alone or feel bad about their errors. I realize that Jrotc is about help others when in need to help correct their errors so they won’t happened again. So when I became a Let 4 has to be the best year ever cause I was finally a Let 4 . My Let 4 was very good because I was a high Rank and had my picture on the board but what I loved the most was when I got promoted to be the Bravo Company commander. Being the Commander was an Honor because I had reach my goal in Jrotc to be a Commander any company and I hope I left a good impression for my Let 1,2,3. Jrotc isn’t a class is a family program where we all unite to become better citizen. I love Jrotc and I’m very proud that I had it for my whole 4 years in high school. I never forget my Instructors SGM Cooper & LTC Roger because they have help me a lot to grow up and I will always cherish them in my
In my military career, I have been to many localities, and met many great NCO’s to gain expertise, and wisdom from. My biggest challenge as an NCO has been my stretch as an AIT Platoon Sergeant in Fort Leonard Wood MO. Being an AIT PSG you have many tasks you have to complete, and many soldiers you have to manage. There are leadership challenges in every job, but as an AIT PSG all of the challenges can be tested within a small period of time. On a daily basis, you deal with anything from pay issues with behavior issues you will learn many things and test yourself always. When I arrived at E-CO 169th ENG BN it was to be the first day of many new experiences and challenges. On the day that I arrived to E-CO as an AIT PSG I was not quite qualified yet to run an
As a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer, preparing myself and rising to the challenge of the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club induction sets the right example for my fellow NCO’s, especially the junior NCO’s that look at me as a Leader they aspire to be. Whether it is the NCO’s at my current station or NCO’s from my past Leadership positions, I always endeavor to set a positive example for them to keep moving forward and progressing in their careers. If I remain stagnant, and set the example of mediocrity and established entitlement, they will look to my example and think they have arrive. I aspire to be a member of the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club for my Soldiers and fellow NCO’s, past, present, and
As our forefathers before us stated, ‘‘No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as “The Backbone of the Army (“The NCO Creed written by SFC Earle Brigham and Jimmie Jakes Sr”). These words to the Noncommissioned Officer should inspire us to the fullest with pride, honor, and integrity. The NCO creed should mean much more than just words whenever we attend an NCO’s school.
... (2001) showed that grateful individuals were especially appreciative of the contribution of others to their happiness. Expressing gratitude and reviewing three good things highlighted this, and reminded me to show my loved ones my gratitude.
Sometimes you encounter hurdles in life - sometimes you have to adapt and alter your normal routine to clear them. Then there are times you fall; the people surrounding you may gasp - they had been rooting for you. But they haven't given up on you-it's now more than ever that they want you to succeed - it's human nature to want the underdog to come from behind.
Being able to clearly understand how my job contributes to the Air Force, the Joint Environment, and the DoD is extremely satisfying. I take my work seriously because I know that what I do can have a direct impact on the military’s ability to fight and win wars. The personal achievements that I have experienced during my 22 years in the Air Force are also very gratifying. The work I did as a Security Policeman stand out the most. It was here that I went from a boy to a man in just a few short months and fully understood what it meant to be a part of the military. From humble beginnings in a small town I made the decision to enlist and take on a task bigger than myself. I had no idea what I was getting into.
