I'm cadet Allessandro Vos and I'm here today to tell you my point of view of JROTC and how it became to be. Before I get to the point, I would like to say that JROTC is a great program and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in taking JROTC. This essay will show what I have learned in my years of JROTC by giving you information about JROTC from 1916 to today and tomorrow. Me and my fellow cadets have been working hard to follow the cadet creed and the seven Army values to show great leadership and motivation towards our fellow cadets and students at our school. Our cadet staff have been working hard to teach us about JROTC and wants us now to write our essay and see what we have learned.…

The mission of JROTC is very simple to explain. The mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to become better citizens. If you don’t know what motivate or mission is then you are in for a rude awakening. Motivate is to provide a need or purpose which causes a person to want to do something. You can’t just command someone to do something and expect them to do it.…

Joining the JROTC program has shown me that life has more to offer than what it seems. With the help of the JROTC mission of “To Motivate Young People to Become Better Citizens," I am one step closer every day to being the person I have worked so hard to be. This mission has helped me learn the values of law, truthfulness and trustworthiness, and has deepened my moral courage. Reading and reviewing the text, I have come to realize the true meaning of the law. It is there to help and protect people who cannot do that for themselves.…
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.…
While current ROTC cadets spent the summer break improving themselves and testing their abilities, APSU alumni were also out proving just what they could do. One of these was First Lieutenant Nicholas Kiser, a former cadet at Austin Peay’s ROTC and graduate of their criminal justice program. Kiser, who completed his degree under a full Army scholarship, competed in the prestigious Best Ranger Competition, and earned 6th place out of fifty officer teams. Kiser, who attended school at Hendersonville High School before coming to Austin Peay, commissioned as one of the top of his class and attended Infantry BOLC, Airborne, and Ranger School before competing in the 2016 Best Ranger Competition. As it was his first time competing, he then had to…
It was straight up the side of a mountain with no end in sight. As I stared up I thought, this is not so bad, but little did I know that the next two miles would be a testament to mind over body. The climb up the mountain began with a forty pound sandbag carry. You had to pull yourself up the hill using roots and small trees. By the time the real climb had started my legs were already cramping.…
“The magic happens when you step outside your comfort zone.” This proverb sums up everything I went through when I recently attended the Air Force Academy’s Summer Seminar in July. While there, I was pushed well beyond my limits. We, the attendees, did strenuous physical training sessions at roughly a mile above sea level, woke up before the sun rose, attended sample classes, and studied tons of military knowledge while learning about the Air Force Academy and the admission process. It was truly a challenge being there, and I loved every minute of it!…

I am constantly presenting various lessons to my peers and with the feedback given I am able to to improve in an aspect I am lacking in.…
My grandparents and uncle on my mom’s side of the family are retired from the Army and Air Force, and are still physically active, responsible, respectful and still have their unconditional love for their country even though it has been almost 20 years from retiring. My passion and support comes from my grandparents and uncle who are retired military personnel. after listening to all of their fun, discipline and success memories, my retired military family members motivated me to follow in their footsteps. From this motivation and current enrollment at The Marion Military Institute in Marion, Alabama, I have gained more respect, passion, and want for military life. In other words, my family has a strong respect for the military, but know that…
When I went on a tour of Virginia Military Institute, I knew that my future career would be combining a Military lifestyle with a computer or civil engineering. My desire to attend VMI started the day I visited the open house trip with my family. After I got home, I remembered how Captain John E. Riester immediately made me feel at home for his shorts introduction to Civil engineering. The school is different and unique with an outstanding reputation for its high-quality education in the Nation.…
