I received my commission via OCS in 2002 and was branched into the Field Artillery. I come with knowledge of both Mechanized and Airborne operations. I am truly excited to be able to learn about the Stryker platform. I have also served as a mentor to the Afghan National Army 213th Corps in Bermel and Shkin (CJTF-82), Afghanistan. I have knowledge in this type of mission and will look to contribute any way I can. In 2008 I completed Civil Affairs Qualification Course, and language school I still maintain proficiency in French and German. I was assigned to the 91st Civil Affairs Battalion (AFRICOM), as a Team and completed an 11 month deployment in support of OEF-Trans Sahara from 2010-2011 working with interagency partners out of the US
While at Georgia Tech the September 11, 2001 attacks took place making my commitment to the Air Force from one of paying back my scholarship to one of service to my country and defense of my nation. After four rigorous years I received a commission in the United States Air Force to fly F-15E Strike Eagles as a Weapons Systems Operator (WSO). As a WSO I have tw...
Sir, I am honored by the privilege to once again serve in 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). Over of the last 30 days, I had an opportunity to reconnect, and reflect on the current state of the Brigade. The 4th ABCT has a rich history of success and glory. It is my goal to put in place the systems and practices for this great organization to exceed all past and present accomplishments. As a result of my assessment, I identified three areas of focus that will improve our organization: a unit vision, a change in organizational culture and climate, and building organizational teams. I have no doubt that with the implementation of these three areas of focus, I will be the transformational leader that 4th ABCT needs as we prepare for the upcoming National Training Center (NTC) rotation and tackle the task of the Regionally Aligned Forces (RAF) mission.
Commissioning in the Air Force has been a life-long aspiration. My grandfathers enlisted, but went on to retire as field-grade officers with careers spanning WW2, the Korean War and the Vietnam conflict. Their experiences inspired me to follow in their footsteps and serve my country. After starting college, I soon enlisted due to financial hardships but my desire to commission never waned. Over 10 years’ service, my goal of commissioning ultimately took a back seat to my missions, Airmen and responsibilities at hand. However, I have always sought out opportunities to advance my abilities through holding key positions and seeking out added responsibilities. By earning a commission, I will continue to grow professionally, improve our Airmen and further expand our service's capabilities.
As this will be my first time staffing at encampment, I want to be a flight sergeant for ILWG 2016 spring encampment. Since encampment is hectic (sentence to describe how you use everything you learn from your cap career at encampment) I’m anticipating to experience staffing at encampment. However, I’m hoping to gain more leadership skills, time management, critical thinking, and how to lead in stressful situations. I want to be able to expand my knowledge to help the cadets in my squadron.
...d me with our staff and Soldiers we have been given the opportunity to lead. The time and effort spent will be well worth it. Possessing a shared understanding of the operational environment will aid in our planning process when conducting operations throughout our theater of operation. In every operation we execute we know that we will accept prudent risks, identification and mitigation of those risks will determine our ability to accomplish our mission. Incorporating the principles of mission command by building cohesive teams through mutual trust, fostering an environment of shared understanding, and accepting prudent risk will make me an effective adviser to the commander, aid the staff during the operations process, and provide an example for Soldiers to emulate. My involvement in all aspects of mission command is critical to the success of our organization.
Prior to this current position, I was professor at the Academic Department in the Peruvian Army War College. This school performs two programs: the Command and Staff Program, and the High Command College course to Colonels; an equivalent to the US Army War College. As a professor, I was responsible for planning, teaching, and assessing the performance of majors and lieutenant colonel students of the Command and Staff Course. I was part of the readers committee for students who wanted to pursue their Master of Military Science degree as well.

As an Operations Specialist, I have an immeasurable amount of experience to offer recruiting. In the ten years I have served, I have had the opportunity to interact and work with all 19 active duty ratings in the Coast Guard. I have also conducted operations in the eleven Coast Guard mission areas. This invaluable experience makes me an ideal candidate to recruit the best possible applicants to conduct these multi-missions and fill these critical specialties.
Ever since I was a child, I have had a great interest for the automotive industry. From car trivia to novel innovations, my innate passion for the automotive industry has always made me research the minutest detail of every vehicle that interested me. Since elementary school I would draw sketches of cars which incorporated technology which were unheard of at that time; novel devices such as electrochromic windshields, HUD displays, and wind turbines which would constantly re-generate electricity for the car. While growing up, my hobbies largely consisted of constructing countless Lego and Meccano sets, and repairing my mom’s 19 year-old car. In middle school, math and science were my favorite subjects: applying science and mathematics to solve real-world problems has fascinated me and I have also taken further steps to reach my goals. By the age of thirteen I devised a scaled model of a heliostat power plant, which successfully powered a light bulb. The mathematics beyond the focus points of parabolic dishes and thermodynamics was very advanced for my age, but I took up the challenge...
I have been through a lot of good and bad moments in my career. Most of them have been great experience’s that I will never forget. All of them have been afforded to me by the U.S. Army. I love the U.S. Army and my country so much that words can’t explain it. When I put on my uniform every day I am proud to say that I am a Soldier in the world’s greatest Army. I would like another opportunity to right this wrong, and prove that I can continue to be entrusted with positions of trust and authority. I will prove that I can be trusted with actions and not just words, I ask only for the opportunity. I will strive to be the best NCO that I can be and strive to meet my unlimited potential that I possess to make my unit, command and the U.S. Army
The development of every nation hinges on the effectiveness of their transportation systems. Movement of goods, services and people to and from locations is made possible by transportation systems. The importance of effective transportation systems cannot be over-emphasized. Many countries face transportation problems and my country Ghana is no exception. A trip of about 30 minutes usually takes about an hour or more due to traffic jams. This is seriously impacting productivity and has become a topical issue in the country. The situation is the same in Uganda where I currently work. To this end, Transportation Engineers are needed to design roads/ highways that will stand the test of time, plan effective traffic management systems to reduce
An education is best valued when it is used to serve one’s community at a larger aspect- this belief has been imprinted in my judgment from the commencement of my undergraduate study. This persuasion and a natural aptitude for energy science and mathematics induced me that petroleum engineering is the most fitting career for me and developed a sense in my mind that higher study is mandatory to be competent in this field. I desire a master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering followed by a PhD not only because it is the most fulfilling way to exercise my natural talent as a scholar but also it will give me the opportunity to serve my country as she has paucity of researchers in this discipline.
This perfectly holds true for me in the world of Computer Engineering where novel ideas are not a novelty. It is this novelty that entices me to this field and gives me a deep sense of professional pride. In this context, I would like to pursue my graduation in Computer Engineering, which not only supplements the knowledge that I possess but also provides a strong platform for my future career goals.
A scientist dreams of doing great things, but an engineer do them. Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance. Since childhood my dream is to become a civil engineer whom my father would be proud of, he is a well experienced civil engineer and a good role model. He inspired me to do civil engineering with specialisation in structural engineering. He used to take me to his work site where they were building huge structures, then a doubt came to my mind that how could they built such huge structure. I asked my father regarding this matter, he then showen me designs and explained me the step wise procedure they follow which made me curious about civil engineering. From that
From my perspective, excellent electronic engineers are a group of gifted and imaginative talents who bravely explore and innovate, change the world with passion and innovation. I have always dreamed of becoming one of them. For realizing this dream, I started from China 's Jilin University and then joined The University of Manchester for BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering to take more advanced professional courses. In UoM, I managed to gain GPA of 4.0. Yet, my pursuit of the dream does not end there, since I plan to apply for M.S. program in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Carnegie Mellon University, where I can receive the best education among the world.
