Leadership is a very powerful trait that many wish to possess, but only few have the ability to appropriately carry out the task. It is a trait that is not only God-given, but also learned throughout life as we are given many leaders to observe as we journey throughout childhood and into adulthood. With my service in the military approaching 28 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve under some very talented leaders within my varied career in the Air National Guard. I’ve also been given many opportunities to travel to a variety of places and countries that most people that I grew up with in Mississippi only dream of visiting. Since joining the Air National Guard in 1989, it has been a rewarding career both as an enlisted…
During my time in high school, both inside and outside of school, I often had the reoccurring thoughts of a necessity to go somewhere with my life. During my senior year of high school I began to realize as any young man that comes to that part of life that I was about to begin to make choices on their own for the first time. I was the first in my family to be getting an education past high school and the pressure was on me to further my studies and like the son of immigrant workers I was expected to go above and beyond the point where my parents arrived. I was all for going to school and getting a degree but then reality struck and I had to begin to think of ways of paying…
As a member in the National Guard the idea of serving a dual mission to my State and the Nation is unique from my perspective. My first responsibility is to take care of the people I live around, essentially my community. Almost everyone has seen or maybe heard of Guard units helping different communities deal with the ongoing threat or aftermath of floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms and other emergency situations. Also during times of civil disorder, social or political, the citizens of my state can be assured that their Guard force will be “Ready When Called”, if needed. The ability to give back to my own community and share what the Guard has done for me on a daily basis is a great feeling. Membership in the Guard has a positive influence on civilian jobs. As a paralegal in the guard for my state, I have acquired the skills and a certain level of leadership that is sought after by many civilian employers. Some guard soldiers find their civilian and military jobs complement each other, while others seek to add diversity to their lives and skills by serving in the Army National Guard in a capacity quite different than their civilian occupation. As a paralegal and soldier in the guard, both are part of the dual profession and one team concept. We are on the same team fighting the same…
Being a leader for a large group means more than just a title. As co-drum major of my high school marching band, I had to use leadership to help the group has had to overcome. The title bears numerous responsibilities and in various styles, but choosing to lead by example while having a sense of humor has shown as the most effective way of leading for me. Performing as a marching band requires lots of dedication and hard work; however, when the group starts lacking in motivation to progress, a leader must step in. For the group to overcome these issues,we had to get together and discuss what was keeping the group from progressing. Leading by example is not enough for a group to follow, sometimes it requires actual action as well. I use my sense…
