Good afternoon sir, I feel like I may have short changed myself from my previous email. It has been my long life goal to become an LDO, but previous experiences have somewhat discouraged me. However, I have a found a renewed passion for becoming an LDO. I have completed 3 deployments on my first sea tour command (Virginia and Dallas) and received the Green C award with my communications division in 2010 & 2011 for CSDS12 and have proven myself as a strong leader developing junior sailors on the USS Dallas and training and molding seasoned fleet returnees here at Sub School. Also here at Subscol, I was hand- picked due to experience and impressive record to provide training to senior leaderhip and soac officers to provide ESM theory and equipment …show more content…
I am the only one qualified to teach 7 "A" school courses and 3 Maintenance courses. I have been motivated to do all I can and be all I can be. Being an instructor has helped me develop my communication and interpersonal skills. Completing the rigorous Master Training Specialist (MTS) and applying what I learned in the classroom, has tremendously helped me become a more efficient and effective instructor, this has lead me to selected as Subschools' 2015 Enlisted Instructor of the Year. I was overall ranked #3 in the whole Submarine Learning Center domain and ranked #1 out of 85 E5's in the entire command. With that being said, I was also 2nd in the Junior Sailor of the Year for 2015! Selected as the JSOQ 1st Quarter of …show more content…
In my department I am responsible for tracking & road mapping qualifications and final evaluation boards of over 115 instructors on the highest Sub School qualification. Additionally, I am part of a board that conducts and evaluates nominees for Instructor of the Quarter and Instructor of the Year boards. One of my proudest accomplishments are, the opportunity to have personally guided and molded 2 instructors that were in my department to be selected as Instructor of the Quarter for this year alone. I have also developed training and pre- boards to help develop future instructors to qualify MTS. I have personally mentored and guided over 40 instructors here at Subschool to finish their MTS
Career counselors fill extremely demanding positions requiring an unusual amount of effort to accomplish their mission. The Table of Distribution (TDA) only allows one career counselor position, in every Battalion. The amount of personnel fluctuates between 300-800 Soldiers. As identified above MOS 79S, is currently experiencing a shortage causing an additional workload within a small team of NCOs adding additional stress to an already demanding position. The unique skill set a career counselor possesses are different from any other MOS. Career counselors utilize an automated system called RETAIN. Once a career counselor successfully graduates from the basic career counselor course, they receive access to RETAIN. HQDA and HRC both monitor this system. Only those authorized personnel career counselors have access to this automated system. While a unit can assign an additional duty reenlistment, Noncommissioned officer (NCO) to fill the position they will not have access to
Overall, I was grateful for this experience. I was able to find out more about the behind the scenes responsibilities of our schools’ leadership.
In my junior year of high school, I joined the leadership program called ASB, also known as associated student body. I had the honor and role of being the school’s unofficial videographer to promote events with videos and short films posted on our social media sites because of my passion for video editing and artistic abilities. I also became responsible as being chairman for one of our committees to organize special recognition events for our senior athletes. ASB made my work stressful and challenging, but it was a good way to connect with others.
Just a few days prior, the Catalyst Color Guard, the team of which I am currently captain, won the Texas Color Guard Circuit State Championships. We earned the highest score in the 10-year history of our program after an incredibly successful season. What enabled us to succeed this past season was the leadership. As a junior and first lieutenant, I felt more confident in my own leadership skills and experience, and I was better equipped to serve my team this year. Our improved leadership style and work ethic improved our team as a whole. Our score increased with each
After taking up the role of an SRC Rep. and House Vice Captain, I enjoyed them and learnt valuable skills in organisation and public speaking. My confident, respectful and fearless interaction with my peers and teachers has given me confidence in standing tall and expressing my
I have met the goals outlined because of my continuous diligence and exceptional performance throughout the year. I have, in my humble opinion, exceeded the substantial qualifications for teaching, service and research as set forth by my Faculty Assignment Document. I am pleased to be part of the West Virginia University Extension Service and was honored to receive the 2013 WVSE4-HA and NAE4-HA North East awards for Urban Programming for an individual. As 2013 comes to a close, I am proud of my excellent accomplishments and quality contributions to 4-H and look forward to creating additional programming for youth in West Virginia.
When the cross country season started in August I became a mentor for the new runners. I was still a runner but now I was doing my running through my peers. During each practice I would lead everyone in stretching and would follow with encouragement on my bike during runs. The freshman looked up to me as if I were an assistant coach and I knew I had done the right thing in being there every day for
Staff Sergeant (SSGT) Louis Moeller shaped me into the Recon Marine I wanted to be and the Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) that I am now. By embodying the Recon Creed and always setting the example, he made me want to be an NCO that my troops would look up to and want to follow. Even when not in charge he was constantly the one peers and junior Marines alike, turned to for guidance and inspiration. To this day, I still find myself asking “What would Louis do?” when confronted with a leadership dilemma.
For years I have aspired to become a part of an elite organization such as the military, and more importantly, the United States Navy. Its reputation for instilling high moral character was encouragement for me to develop into a more mature, responsible, and independent young citizen. There are certain qualities that an officer must possess such as: honor, courage, commitment, and attention to duty, responsiveness to orders, cooperation, loyalty, leadership, integrity, and discipline. Throughout my high school career, I showcased these qualities while an active member of The American Legion of Ohio Buckeye Boy’s State, The National Honor Society, as a leader in the Ohio State Highway Patrol Junior Cadets, Clay and Waite High School Marching Band Alumni, Quiz Bowl, and Top Ten Scholars. I was actively involved in charitable activities such as Math and SOS tutoring, community volunteering, and the Indian 100 Leadership Team, (a volunteer organization on my high school campus). I have shown strength, perseverance and leadership in my participation in wrestling, cheerleading, and bodybui...
The best leadership accomplishment that demonstrates my potential to make significant contributions to the campus community and broader society is cheerleading. Cheerleading has made a huge impact on my life and has created many opportunities for me. It has paved the way for my high school career. Cheerleading provided me with opportunities to lead, volunteer, perform and show the athletic ability of our squad.
What I do know though is that I am loving every moment of being an assistant instructor now, that I now can truly teach and give back to junior students what I have learned, how I am now able to pass on century-old traditions to others and that I can help those who might be a bit like me in many to move ahead and just do it! What I also know that it just takes someone to believe in someone else, some encouragement and a friendly word here and there that can really make the difference if someone will move on or not!
I have been blessed to have led a highly fulfilling career over the past 22 years. The Air Force’s standards of conduct and performance have helped me mature into an adult while creating lasting memories along the way. I have had the opportunity to make significant contributions to my country that offer a sense of pride and personal achievement. My current duties allow me to directly contribute to the Air Force and Joint arena on an almost daily basis. Joining the Air Force helped me to realize I had undertaken a task bigger than myself.
“What do you love about teaching?” At this moment when I asked my interviewer that question I realized I didn’t need an answer. I already knew the answer similar teachers like me will respond with. It’s that “I get it” moment! When a student’s light bulb turns on, it’s a feeling like no other. Whether it’s a game, a problem, or an accomplishment of a ‘C ‘grade, it a wonderful feeling. On October 29, 2015 that feeling was shared in figuring out the dream of teaching with an educator I interviewed who I thought would never be a part of my life after high school. In this interview I will tell how interestingly we re-met, the background of this teacher, my thoughts before and after the interview, and finally a reflection on my
I was chosen to implement the new curriculum with lot of expectations. It’s a great challenge and high expectations were put on my shoulders. I believe I did my best effort in the children’s learning.
I spent most of my time in a first grade classroom. In this classroom I observed the children as well as the teacher and paraprofessional. This classroom had children with special needs and that is why there was a paraprofessional in the classroom for half the day. What I observed in this classroom was how children with special need should be handle and taught. The teachers in this room loves her job and each student in her class. While in the classroom the teacher allowed me to help with children with their work, read to them and help them with anything else that they needed. During this field experience I got to give back to not only a school, but to a community that is very near and dear to my heart. I hope that I touched each student in a special way, because the students that I got the opportunity to help learn touched my
