My decision to join Army Special Operations Forces derives from my experience in the Field Artillery branch. As an ambitious young officer I acquired a multitude of additional skill sets during Field Artillery Basic Officer Leaders Course in hopes of becoming an indispensable asset to my unit. As I continued my career in the branch it became more and more apparent to me that those skills I will rarely use in the operational field. At the time, gender restrictions limited my career progression in the branch and not much of latitude to expand my knowledge and experience. I wanted to be useful to the military. Knowing that I have more to offer to the U.S. Army with my multicultural background and language proficiency skills I decided to join the Army Special Operations Forces.…
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines integrity as, firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values: incorruptibility; the quality or state of being complete or undivided. Although this is correct this isn’t exactly the complete meaning of this word. For every situation, every job, and every position this word “integrity” is defined differently. The position at which I am applying for is an Administrative Assistant, with this comes great responsibility, handling and having access to sensitive information any candidate must possess some level of morals and values. In my previous positions as a bank teller I’ve come in contact with highly valuable information from social security numbers to endless financial details not to mention large amounts of money. And I can attest to the fact that none of that irreplaceable information was ever mishandled or compromised, not just because it was my job or duty but out of respect not only for myself but for those that would be affected. If there isn’t one thing I’ve learned so far in life, I’ve learned that every decision made has a monopoly affect whether the outcome is good or bad. Integrity is having the ability to be selfless, being confident in yourself that you can make decisions that will not only affect you but staff, the company brand and customers.…
Ever since I was a child, I knew I was going to serve my country. My father and grandfather served one enlistment each in the Army and the Marines, respectively. They both went on to start families and work in factories, pursing the American dream. This heritage was passed on to me, and I am honored to serve as an American Airman. Now I am married, and we have two children. I know the importance of integrity because without it, I cannot succeed as a husband and father.…
Many people know what the words Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage mean. But you don 't see how much these words can affect people 's lives as much as they do a soldier 's life.

True soldiers of hope do not do what they do for glory, fame, or to be superior over others, they do what they do because of the love in their heart and soul and for the greater good of mankind. Any real soldier can tell you this awe inspiring statement, as it is a reflection of their motivation, the element which compels them to push on and do what they are called on to do. More so, this motivation retains to members of the Army National Guard, citizen-soldiers who can, at any instance, put all aspects of their lives on hold in order to serve for the greater good of their country. And while it is true that people who join the National Guard gain access to substantial military and educational benefits, as well as excellent training applicable to both military and civilian careers, nothing can compare to the undefinable pride of being apart of something bigger.…
Sometimes I ask myself, “Why am I in the Army?” There are days I love it, and days I am surprised to be here at all. My experience so far in the Army has been positive, for the most part. Tactically and physically I feel I have pushed myself. I enjoy being mentally and physically challenged, and that part of my personality played a major part in my desire to become an Army reservist in the first place. I never want to say I did not try my hardest or do my best. I have always believed I could do more in life and that is one reason I became an enlisted Army soldier. The initial reason I joined in December of 2009 was to help my father, Art. My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in September 2009, and I had been out of work over a year. I felt he didn’t need the additional stress of house payments and bills on top of chemotherapy. When my father passed away due to his illness, I knew I still wanted to be in the Army. It was hard to move on after his death, but training to be an Army reservist actually helped me out the year after he died.…

Integrity is one of the most talked about and most abused of the Seven Army Values. First we must define integrity it is doing the right thing consistently. That means that we must do the legally and morally correct thing every time. Just because something is hard or unpleasant does not mean that we can look the other way. Doing the right thing is not a matter of deciding do I help my fellow soldier and let him slide on an Army regulation or do I uphold the regulation. It means doing both they are both equally important. Sometimes helping a soldier means that you must enforce the regulations and in some cases that can mean discharging them from the Army at other times it means fighting for the soldier and getting them the help that they need to succeed in the Army.…
