Everyday around the world, there are people suffering and relishing in getting their egos boosted and busted. Being an ego booster is the act of increasing one person’s or a group’s morale. Being an ego buster is the act of decreasing one’s morale. Being in the military, we experience this daily. Our peers increase each other’s morale through keeping confidence up and helping prove to the individual that they can complete a task that was unusual for them to undertake, and praising our peers’ accomplishments. Higher ranking personnel are normally ego busters for everyone. They deny you responsibilities that would normally be beneficial for you to undergo, they give you negative paperwork for completing outstanding tasks, and deny all actions …show more content…
I was also able to discreetly fix problems when I was given an order that would impair mission requirements. This would not have happened if my peers had not given me the confidence and fidelity to lead them from the front.

I was awarded again, from my Commanding Officer, with a Certificate of …show more content…
I was ecstatic knowing that I would be able to take on another responsibility that was required of a Sergeant. I informed my Sergeant and the information was routed up my chain of command. Upon not receiving any information, I assumed I was going to be able to fulfill the duties of Barracks Manager. I went to work the next day and got reprimanded for taking on a duty that was not of my rank, being too valuable of an asset at work, and not informing anyone in my chain of command of the position I was going to be holding. My Gunnery Sergeant stripped me of my keys and billet and proceeding to take out his frustrations on me because he had to fix the problem I created. I was upset because I knew I would have been able to complete my daily tasks and new tasks. It would also have been good to write down on paper to show others that I am capable of much

    You are just a girl, you need a man to help you." (With all respect and not trying to take any emotion away from the story) I was pissed. I could not understand why out of all people another Non-commissioned Officer would tell me not to do something because I am woman, not a girl. Most of the guys I work with are my age and were struggling with the weapon. I expressed to her how I felt in a tactful manner, yet, after I loaded two more weapons, I was assigned inventory recorder.…

Respect in the military is highly regarded because it provides structure and foundation through the chain of command to respect the rank and authority. Without military respect and respect for authority, there will be no structure and the entirety of the United States Army would fail.

Toxic leaders use their rank and position to bully their subordinates into committing fraud and other crimes with promises or threats. One example is a unit on deployment in Iraq had an assigned Field Ordering Officer (FOO) money to assist with development of the country’s infrastructure. The unit’s commander appointed the executive office in charge of the FOO account along with a SFC as the assistant. During the deployment, the commander threatened the executive officer with bad evaluations almost guaranteeing the loss of promotion and the SFC with missions that are more dangerous if they did not sign purchase request that the commander hand carried.…

    Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions, what that means is that when you do something, make a decision, whatever it may be, take responsibility for them. Being a leader of any kind, at any level means someone either looks up to you, or they simply look to you for guidance. When you have people under you, or that you are in charge of, you have to be on top of things, know how to handle any situation, and if you do not know how to handle a situation, then know where you can find information on how to handle the situation. Marines past, present, and future all have had to and will have to take responsibilities for their actions. In some way, shape, or form we cannot just try and weasel our way out of a situation.…

    The Importance Of An NCO

    When I got a call saying my soldier needed me I neglected to act on this and inform my chain of command who is equipped to deal with the situation. In the future I will be sure to notify my chain of command of anything that has to do with my soldiers or I because they can not properly do their jobs if I do not do mine. I am sorry for being careless and plan to use this event as a learning tool. I now know how serious things can get when a corporal tries to do the job of a platoon sergeant and will not let it happen again. A lot of people say that “it takes a community to raise a child” being an NCO is very much the same because one NCO cannot do everything it takes to take care of a soldier, it takes a…

    I failed to voice my authority to a chaotic and noisy platoon, which consisted mainly of experienced cadets and some of my friends.

Luckily class ended, however my senior instructor berated my first performance. Although I was chewed out by my senior instructor, he gave me a chance to redeem myself next week.…
