Naval Officer Research Paper

I want to become a Naval Officer because of the people I have met. The American Legion Post 360 is the sponsor for the local Boy Scout troop and working with those members is what made me want to become a Naval Officer. The members of the Legion were wonderful to work with, and when I worked with them they did not focus on themselves. They focused on what they could do to help the project. This attitude is one I would like to have and becoming an officer paves that way as its goal is to create people who focus on completing the project.
As a member of the local scout troop I held the position of Senior Patrol Leader, in this role I led meetings on planning what the troop was doing as well as carrying out those plans. When problems arose I had others around me that did their job well, so together we thought of a different plan and carried that plan out so we could complete our task. …show more content…
During this trek I was crew leader, and as crew leader I solved problems that our crew encountered. Our crew at the beginning of the trek was split almost evenly into two groups, one part wanted to just hike to the next campsite each day and stay there while the other part wanted to do each activity associated to each campsite. To find a solution to this problem I asked the group to talk the first night when we had the time to do so. During the discussion we had, we discovered the goals of each group. After we found the goals I asked the group to come up with a couple solutions. I took the solutions given to me and decide what parts of each plan I liked and did not like. The next morning I presented the plan to the crew, we tried that plan and it worked for us. There were some issues about timing at various times in the trek, but those got sorted out
