Recommended: The impact of role model

Being born and raised in lower class New York City I can say the one thing I am proud of most is joining the JROTC Program at Thomas Dale High School. The JROTC Program has shaped me in many ways as a teenager, providing me with discipline, respect, and most importantly a place I can call home. Growing up in a rough neighborhood without a parent, respect is something that isn’t taught. Being in the program respect is wanted and a little tough love can, in fact, provide you with that. Ways are drilled into your head and is sometimes hard to replace but, being who I am today I can thank no one other than my Army Instructor. Being taken under the wing of my Army Instructor and guided in the right path is an experience like no other. Sergeant

  • Importance Of Respect In The Military

    2291 Words  | 5 Pages

    Respect is probably the most important trait that needs to be shown towards your superiors. Every Armed forces branch in the United States of America has a chain of command in which respect is the main premise behind the entire organization. Respect backs the ideals and leadership within any chain of command. Respect is important in the design of the military system itself. You have to automatically trust and do what higher ranking cadet, or any cadre member says because they hold power and most likely have more experience then you. You must show them respect to because they have more knowledge and know how, not to mention they have earned the stop they are in. Respect also tires into the worrier’s ethos, which is an important aspect of what it means to be a member of the army.

  • Soldier Reflective Essay

    1401 Words  | 3 Pages

    Experience was everywhere in a great abundance in my nine months deployed, I can honestly say that my experience there has had a significant impact on the man I am today. The firsthand feeling of combat on a number of missions will always stay with me, how it made me feel and how I reacted will forever stay encapsulated in my mind. The experiences I received while deployed are etched into who I am and continue to help me each and every day of my life. Joseph Roux once said “Our experience is composed rather of illusions lost than of wisdom acquired”. I could not agree with that quote more, my platoon was filled with soldiers who had lacked combat experience and knowledge. The lessons learned while deployed whether it’s how to communicate to each soldier differently or how execute the mission properly without sacrificing the safety and wellbeing of others to do so will benefit my extensively one day when I am leader. There are also the straightforward lessons like how to bring people from a color wheel of backgrounds together to complete a mission. Today I can honestly say that if I had to deploy again tomorrow I would have confidence in myself that I did not have at the beginning of those initial nine months. Eleanor Roosevelt once said “people grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.” This quote like the previous one by Joseph Roux completely encapsulates why turning the lack of experience so many of us once had into experience to last a lifetime is the ultimate
