I have not been wasting Uncle Sam’s time the past five months. The Chief Petty Officer Academy has proven to be a useful course that should make me a better Chief. I’ve learned many valuable skills and had several enlightening experiences at the academy, although there are three things that I will take back to the ship and try to display and implement immediately. The first is a commitment to physical fitness, secondly the lessons I learned from the LPI 360 survey, and lastly coaching. There were many other lessons in the course but so far these are the ones the most forward in my thoughts. The past four years of my career I’ve let my diet and physical activity go. I’ve blamed it on being on cutters the entire time, and while that certainly makes it harder it is not an adequate excuse. Before the course started I got the results of my blood work and I was alarmed by my cholesterol level. I weighed more at …show more content…

I’m going to try harder in the future to keep some ideas to myself and let the member come to conclusions on their own. The past five weeks of the Chief Petty Officer Academy has been a valuable experience. I’ve learned many helpful things and I thing I can make an impact of the crew with a commitment to physical fitness, changing some behaviors that were described in the LPI 360 survey, and by coaching our crew members who need assistance. I know missing half a patrol is a burden on my supervisors, subordinates and peers, but I’m certain if will be worth
I also learned a valuable theory in class, which is EE (experience and exposure) I volunteer more now than I have ever volunteered in the past. I know that I will be a lieutenant before I retire. I also realize that God has a plan and if I would’ve been promoted three years ago my daughter would’ve been very young and that would’ve been a hardship on our family.

This is my 2022-2023 cadet essay for JROTC. Some things in JROTC can be improved, and I will be covering the ideas and initiatives I will take. JROTC is a wonderful and exciting program, but no program can be perfect and that’s ok! But just like any program, we can work to ensure that our cadets have a safe and comfortable time. Let’s start with my first idea.
The mentor and mentee’s relationship is vital to the success of the Marine Corps. “The more seasoned mentor provides their mentee with ongoing advice, including guidance around career decisions and challenges. If you are on the receiving end of this relationship, you may find it useful for incremental improvement” (David Nour, 2022). The seasoned Marines with years of experience take on the responsibility of guiding and nurturing junior Marines. These mentors provide valuable insight, solutions to problems, and help navigate any challenges and complexities of military life.

My previous experience with ROTC in school and various leadership positions in school have already staged me to command a crew and deal with high stress environments on a daily basis and still thrive. The added bonus of knowledge mixed with leadership capabilities makes me a great candidate for this position. I am prepared to learn how to direct personnel operations, manage shipboard vertical launch systems, use computer displays and advanced technology in battle and ship defense, and provide support to Navy expeditionary

From my own perspective as well as the perspective seen from society I can see my new responsibilities will hold a paramount position in many different aspects. This being said, I can look forward to a major shift in what my focus will be and how my decisions will directly impact those around me. My personal desire to become a Warrant officer stems from my constant thirst to grow and influence my surroundings.
Coaches should examine their experiences, by looking for meaning when asking ‘why’ questions (Denison, 2007). This experience allowed me to develop and see the importance of having interpersonal skills which deals with things, such as, providing a safe environment for the client, treating the client as an equal in the coaching process, allowing them to pick their own tempo for accomplishment of desired goals, during sessions remain neutral, and use positive thought, words and action during the relationship (Mitchell, J., July 27,

SOAR Essay “ A coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear, who has to see what you don't want to see, so you can be who you always known you could be.” Tom Landry, one of the greatest football coaches of all time, said this is what it takes to be a coach.
