Recommended: The nature of friendship

To attain my aspirations, I plan to harness my strengths: Relator, Strategic, Self-Assurance, Command and Individualization. I feel that these strengths are very relevant and help me better understand myself. As a relator, I truly appreciate my close inner circle of friends. I believe the idea “quality over quantity” is none more relevant than with friends. People assume that I’m a pretty popular person and that I have plethora of friends. On the contrary, I only consider four people as my true friends and one as my best friend. My strength of being Strategic has always come handy. While in the Marines, I have always been able to make sound and decisive calls on completing missions that were assigned by my seniors. To me Self-Assurance is

    Drill Instructors strip all your old values and Marine Corps values are formed. “There is no ‘I’, ‘I’ is gone” (p.60). To be a marine you must shed all thinking as “I” and “me”, and think as “we” and “recruit”. In American society, striving for independence is a goal for most people, and instead of working as a group we tend to compete with each other to get what we want. As a Marine you must think as a group, learn how to move as a group and you are drilled until not a single action is left to individual improvisation (p.64).

  • Analysis Of 'The Warrior Ethos'

    738 Words  | 2 Pages

    military members who share harsh, traumatic, or even funny events obviously become closer through the bond of a mutual experience. This is particularly true for Marine infantry; many Marine are brought up in different areas of the US, with different values, ages, religious and political beliefs. However different we all might look on the outside, the fact that we’ve all been through good times and bad with each other makes us closer than any civilian could understand. After being a Marine, I find that I’m close to, and always will be, than my civilian friends who I’ve known for years. Along with this, Pressfield talks about how, under all the glory and allure of fighting for one’s country exists the real reason that warriors fight; for our brothers in arms. Political beliefs, government stances, and flags go out the window, only to be replaced by concern for the safety and well-being of the men to our left and right. All of these things are reasons why it is difficult for civilians to understand what it’s like to be a warrior. This is perhaps embodied best in our motto, Semper Fidelis; Always Faithful, to our brothers and those who depend on

  • The Importance Of The US Marine Corps

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    The US Marines are known to be the most dedicated and committed branch of military in the United states, making them highly popular and loved. Their pride and commitment to one, small, and united family make them stand out from the rest and their dedication is seen as they wake up at the crack of dawn to train with people they consider as close as family, and this gives the marines themselves a greater sense of self. Marines are motivators that will push a recruit beyond their own limits because they truly believe in the potential in each one; they are present in times of need and vow to never leave other behind, and believe that fear the of failure cannot compare to the joy that will come after tough challenges are overcome with the help

  • Personal Narrative: My First Combat Tour

    1542 Words  | 4 Pages

    I woke up every morning wishing I was home already. Instead, I woke up to Sergeant Red telling me to get up. He was not the greatest noncommissioned officer (NCO) but he taught me a lot about preparing myself mentally and physically for the worst outcomes. One thing he said that stayed with me was, “Hey man, when it is your time to go then it is your time to go.” Small words but they were honest words. In war you cannot dwell on the mission or any mistakes that you have made. All you can do is learn from them mistakes and try not to make them again. I do not consider myself a hero or superior to everyone else but I do find myself to be determined and dedicated. Every time we were being briefed on the next mission I looked around the room to see if everyone was ok. I looked for that one individual who was deep in his thoughts that he did not even pay attention to the brief. I would pull them to the side afterwards and just have casual conversations with them. Once we laughed and forgot about the mission we would look at each other and know exactly what the other person was thinking. “Are we about to go out there again?”, “Is this my time to go?”, or “Is this going to be the last time I see him?” We did not look at each other as friends; we looked at each other as brothers. Every time we prepared for a mission we helped each other to make sure everyone had the right equipment. We made sure that everyone’s weapon was

    Working with my fellow leaders day and night, I began to form close friendships with each of them. We were all from different parts of the country and different battalions; meaning we all had our own approach on how to lead the recruits. We had to learn to work together and play off each other’s strengths and weaknesses in order to ensure a successful training for the recruits. Through the hard work put into the training, both the recruits and staff cadets were able to form lifelong friendships. Although the training is done, I still work hard to maintain relationships with my fellow staff cadets and friends who have helped me to become a better leader and person.

  • Leadership and Followership

    790 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the most important components of leadership is the leader. A leader is responsible for his or her followers and the overall goal of the group or organization. Leaders are the people held accountable or everything that happens, good or bad. On the other hand, the second major component of leadership is the followers. Without followers, a leader would be worthless. Followers make up the backbone of a leader because they are the masses that get goals accomplished. A leader is just one person, but the number of followers is countless. In order to be an effective follower, there are a countless number of characteristics that allow a follower to be the best they can be. Five of these characteristics include a positive attitude, communication skills, being part of the process, being open to new ideas, and patience.

  • Elements Of My Joy Essay

    1108 Words  | 3 Pages

    My first strength is kindness. Since I am mostly around children, kindness allows them to like me and be comfortable around me. The last strength is listening, I listen to all of my friends if they need someone to talk to. Listening allows me to be their support system. Even though I have different strengths, there are also some challenges. Some of these challenges are similar to the life of St. Francis and St. Clare. Some of my challenges are deciding whether I picked the right choice and ability to handle change. There are many events in my life where I wasn’t sure if I made the right decision or not. For example, I recently switched my major and I wasn’t sure if I made the right choice and if my parents would agree with it. This is similar to St. Francis’s life because he kept changing what he wanted to do with his life and wanted his parents approval. Francis was still his father’s son, unconsciously pursuing what his father valued reputation, status and wealth (Sweeney, 2014, p.34). Francis wanted to this in order to make his father proud but as time went on he knew what he wanted to do even though his parents might not agree to it. Francis always questioned himself in the decisions that he made frequently ( Egler, October 2015). Another challenge is the ability to handle change. I have a difficult time trying to accept change because I usually like the way things are. I don’t like change when I have no control over
