HMP Interview During my interview with First Sergeant Coultry we discussed a numerous amount of topics regarding the seven army values. Personally what I got most out of this interview was a guided idea in how to live honorably. I chose First Sergeant Coultry as my role model because he plays a huge role in making sure USMAPS is up to standard and is effective on the cadet candidates to be prepared for USMA. I observed him even before I committed this honor violation and he would fix deficiencies effortlessly. I respect him as an adult because he is someone I can talk to when things are not going so well for me and he gives me advice on what I should do in order to overcome those obstacles. After the interview, I felt motivated to strive at …show more content…
He responded with a wise yet brief response. He said, “One should act as if someone where looking over his shoulder and instill this behavior in others.” After receiving an explanation to the quote I made my own definition on why one should live honorably. Living with honor is the respect that you owe show appreciation and amenity to those around you. To live with honor is to make the hard choices to live so that others around you have the chance to enhance their lives. It’s not something you should do sometimes nor keep it to yourself, but something you constantly live by and share with others so you could help them live with more integrity. Then he mentioned, it would simply be an easier world if everyone live honorably. You wouldn’t have to remember to lock your car or leave your laptop out open on your desk knowing no one will take it. All this goes in hand with trust and being that guy everyone trusts is a privilege and shows what type of character you are. You want to be that guy anyone can turn to for anything. This characteristic comes with maturity and I am already an adult. I should be mature enough to live
For years I have aspired to become a part of an elite organization such as the military, and more importantly, the United States Navy. Its reputation for instilling high moral character was encouragement for me to develop into a more mature, responsible, and independent young citizen. There are certain qualities that an officer must possess such as: honor, courage, commitment, and attention to duty, responsiveness to orders, cooperation, loyalty, leadership, integrity, and discipline. Throughout my high school career, I showcased these qualities while an active member of The American Legion of Ohio Buckeye Boy’s State, The National Honor Society, as a leader in the Ohio State Highway Patrol Junior Cadets, Clay and Waite High School Marching Band Alumni, Quiz Bowl, and Top Ten Scholars. I was actively involved in charitable activities such as Math and SOS tutoring, community volunteering, and the Indian 100 Leadership Team, (a volunteer organization on my high school campus). I have shown strength, perseverance and leadership in my participation in wrestling, cheerleading, and bodybui...
As our forefathers before us stated, ‘‘No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as “The Backbone of the Army (“The NCO Creed writing by SFC Earle Brigham and Jimmie Jakes Sr”). These words to Noncommissioned Officer should inspire us to the fullest with pride, honor, and integrity. The NCO creed should mean much more than just words whenever we attend a NCO’s school. For most of us this is what our creed has become because we learn to narrate or recite. The military from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard has an overabundance of NCOs who fall under their pay grade of E-5, E-6 and etc. Yet somehow there still not enough leaders. I believe that the largest problem afflicting the military today is our lack of competent leaders, ineffective leader development, and how we influence our subordinates under us who are becoming leaders.
The military has always been there and we as Americans never question it. Thousands of men and women have dedicated their lives to serving this country. From World War II on to present day our military is constantly growing and evolving. Many people believe our military is nothing but destructive and harmful. To me, the military and people who serve the military are very brave and caring individuals. Our armed forces help change the way that not only America views things, but also the world. We were one of the first armies to accept women and homosexuals into the service. Do not get me wrong, every accomplishment and growth we have made was not obtained with open arms. Before WWII America was just the same as every other
Lance Corporal Taylor D. Carr is enthusiastically recommended for the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for professional achievement in the superior performance of his duties as an Airframes Collateral Duty Inspector (CDI) and Airframes Phase Crew member, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 365 (Reinforced), 2ND Marine Aircraft Wing, for the period of 20 February 2017 to 1 September 2017. During this time Lance Corporal Carr performed his duties in a exemplary and professional manner. His technical expertise and selfless dedication has set him apart from his peers and directly contributed to VMM-365 (REIN)’s successes during a period of intense and high operational tempo during the 24th MEU on load and deployment.
The military has ingrained a set of standard by setting the seven Army values, Equal Opportunity programs, and Army regulations that govern how we act during ethical dilemmas. These programs and beliefs are especially important because each Soldier comes from a different background and environment, and cannot afford to have disruptions in workplace that can put our Soldiers in the way of harm. In order to maintain a healthy environment we need to keep defining and promoting an ethical
The blood flows down the stairs of the stage, and even the breeze that blows in my face from beneath the arena is tainted by the smell. The senators remain on stage, even after most of the Imperial party leaves. The senators continue their silence as they circle the body lying on the floor. The purple stripe of the magistrate ’s cloak, an honor to Roman officials, is now a color so darkened by blood that it’s turned black.
I was lucky in the sense that I was raised with values that mirror the Army Values. These personal values coupled with the Army Values are what define my character and serve as a lighthouse for my actions. One of the traits that I appreciated and respected about LTC Coppersmith was his character. As a commander, I can imagine that it is sometimes difficult to know that the decisions that you are making are the best option. To know that you must make ethical and true, and that they fall in line with the Warrior Ethos. I had the privilege of being with LTC Coppersmith when he would make decisions about missions, or actions that affected the squadron. Being that we are an organization that has people as its greatest asset, mistakes were made and issues would arise, yet I cannot think of a single instance where LTC Coppersmith failed to stick to the Army Values when making a decision. This steadfast compass that he displayed trickled down through his formation to the troops. Subordinate leaders knew that every action that they took must mirror that of their commander, and that he expected all of his leaders to be of irreproachable character. The effects of LTC Coppersmith’s stance ensured that as Soldier developed into leaders, they would carry and implement the same adherence to the Army Values not only while in the squadron, but throughout
The lessons he learned were based on love and respect: to respect oneself, love others and love and respect this country.
Colonel Mathew Moten once said, “Professions are not professions simply because they say they are. Their clients, society as a whole, have to accept their claims and trust the professions with jurisdiction over important areas of human endeavor”.
Respect to me is admiring someone for their abilities, qualities, or achievements. I think respect is always earned an can never be given. As soldiers soldiers we should always respect our peers because they have made the same sacrifice as us. But as soldiers we should have a higher level of respect for our NCOs because they have done their time an have earned it. Being respectful is not hard it is simple, just treat others the way we would like to be treated ourselves.
As being a military officer, society will expect a great deal from us. We have professional standards that ever...
We all have them, men and women we know who have served in the military. They are people we admire, look up to, and respect for the sacrifices they made and their courage in the face of adversity on and off the battlefield. For hundreds of years, our military troops have sacrificed their lives for America’s freedom. They have never stopped giving of themselves day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. Whether it’s on the grounds of Iraq or the mountains in Afghanistan, people are fighting for our freedom. Adam Koopmann, Military Police Officer, has consistently achieved these accomplishments on a daily basis in order to fight for our country. He has improved the lives of hundreds of people making him a hero.
Respect is probably the most important trait that needs to be shown towards your superiors. Every Armed forces branch in the United States of America has a chain of command in which respect is the main premise behind the entire organization. Respect backs the ideals and leadership within any chain of command. Respect is important in the design of the military system itself. You have to automatically trust and do what higher ranking cadet, or any cadre member says because they hold power and most likely have more experience then you. You must show them respect to because they have more knowledge and know how, not to mention they have earned the stop they are in. Respect also tires into the worrier’s ethos, which is an important aspect of what it means to be a member of the army.
In the dictionary the word honor means to regard with great respect. My idea of the word honor from my perspective means to respect and obey someone, like for example I honor my parents. The person I am doing is Nikola Tesla, he has made many great accomplishments in the world of science that helped us get to where we are. In Nikola Tesla’s day, he was an electrical engineer and a mechanical engineer which helped him alot.
The military will tell you that a patrol is an organization and is not a mission, so a patrol is a noun, and not a verb. A patrol is typically an independent organization put together for a specific purpose.
