Coast Guard Career Aspirations
Following my Coast Guard career aspirations, I enrolled in my high school’s Army JROTC program as a freshman and have been provided a superb leadership experience. JROTC has instilled in me core military values of honor, selfless service, and love of my country that complement my integrity, honesty, and respect for others.
My active involvement in JROTC has been instrumental in my personal growth and development as a future leader in the Coast Guard. In 2014, I proudly participated in the Brigade inspection which designated our JROTC “Honor Unit with Distinction." I was competitively selected as a company grade officer my junior year. I currently lead and mentor 60+ Underclassman. To complement my JROTC activities, I was selected by my Senior Army Instructor to participate in our award-winning Academic and Leadership Teams competing against other Army JROTC schools. I was the designated Team Leader for both teams my junior year. …show more content…
To complement my honed leadership skills earned over eight years from both JROTC and the Academy, my Marine and Environmental Sciences degree will provide me the academic proficiency, technical expertise, and intellectual acumen to make carefully reasoned, informed, and consistently accurate decisions. For these reasons, I am highly confident I will be an exceptional Coast Guard

    Throughout the program, we were taught these values, "Integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do."

    Jrotc Research Paper

    “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” Said by Steve Jobs. Being in Jrotc had taught me many things. I first joined as a sophomore. I didn't know what to expect. Since I’ve started JROTC I’ve been challenged mentally, physically, and emotionally. I have learned how to work more as a team and learn about leadership. Most things I’ve learned in JROTC I probably wouldn't have learned in my other classes. Cadets have managed to overcome many fears, tears, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable memories. Therefore, Jrotc builds character and leadership by its many activities such as conducting color guards, being apart of the chain of command, and being apart of the raider team.…

    Personal Narrative: Herrieden, Germany

    Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage are the seven basic values of the army. JROTC helped me grow as a person and let me interact with people that I would have never interacted with before. I developed social skills and a good work ethic during my time in the JROTC. Over 50% of students in high school were in the program. I helped over a 100 students with basic army movements and discipline skills. A lot of students didn’t care much if they were good at what I was teaching them. That didn’t stop me from forcing them to repeat basic army movements for an hour each day. I taught them repetition and discipline. The more and more people I helped, the more people saw me as dependable. My instructor gave me more responsibilities and tasks to do as he saw me improving. JROTC helped me meet the friends that I still have to this day. If I did not join the program I wouldn’t have become who I am today. I used to be an introvert and kept to myself at all times. I rarely finished assignments or even started working on them. I never participated in any extracurricular activities. I was just a super lazy…

    To continue, another reason that I enrolled in JROTC was because they teach you how to become a leader. Become a leader is truly a never ending journey. You will have to adjust to every situation that is thrown at you. A very successful college basketball coach that took JROTC was Coach Mike Krzyzewski. Also becoming a leader will help you in life forever till you die. If you do not know how to lead and they put you in a managerial position then how will you respond to that situation?…
