    Today’s JROTC program has gone through some changes. From my personal experiences the program has changed quite a bit from when I started high school. For my first two years I was in a Marine Corps JROTC where it was very strict. Our military appearance was expected to be maintained in and out of the uniform. We were also expected to be disciplined no matter where we were in the school because we represented the program.…

    I have a strong desire to become an officer in the United States Navy. To achieve this goal I wish to be accepted into Officer Candidate School where I will later graduate with a commission as an Ensign. I believe myself to be of both strong mind and body, and I accredit this to my commitment to my school, my work, and my training. I graduated top ten percent of my class in High School and Magna Cum Laude in college and I continually try to increase the diversity of my knowledge so to become a better rounded person. I majored in Criminology and Criminal Justice and minored in Psychology, so through convention teaching methods I have gained a firm grip in the Social Sciences; however, its through my work experience that I have really grown.…

    I am applying for a commission in the Army JAG Corps to continue my interrupted service to our country. I was brought up with a very strong sense of selfless service to our nation and to my community. I was fortunate to be able to proudly serve our country with distinction for 17 years on active duty and in the Reserves (12 or 13 good years for retirement purposes) but unfortunately I had to make one of the most difficult decisions of my life in 2007 and leave the service. At the time, I had a family with three young children, a high pressure long hours job in a large law firm, a high tempo reserve assignment in PSYOP (two mobilizations in four years), and an elderly father with late stage Alzheimer’s which required immense time and effort…

    Reflecting on the past long, but yet short four years of high school, I cannot help but be exhilarated for the next four to come. I can remember the first day that I walked into the JROTC room like it was just yesterday, butterflies floating in my stomach, my nerves everywhere with a smile on my face because I knew that is where I belong. As time went I took advantage of the program by joining the Armed Drill team as another cadet. Within one year of hard work and innumerable amount of practice I became a squad leader following up to be the first female commander of the Armed Drill team that Sam Houston High has seen. With the proficiency that JROTC has taught me, I decided that it was time to seek out my dream by talking to a recruiter.…

    Before the summer of my sophomore year, I had not thought about my post high school plans beyond knowing I would like to attend college. However, I attended a STEM camp at Valparaiso University in Indiana where I met former astronaut and Naval Academy graduate, Ken Ham. He inspired me to not only begin my own flight training, but to start investigating the Naval Academy. The more I learned about the Naval Academy and the different opportunities that serving as an officer in the military presented, the more determined I became to attend. I understand that the decision to attend a service academy is not to be taken lightly.…

    I’ve had many positive experiences in my life, but my experience joining the Air Force and completing Basic Training had the greatest impact.

Since I knew where I was going, I did not feel the need to apply myself in all my classes. I did just enough to graduate high school. Then September came, the month I left to Basic Military Training.…
