Ethical Problem Solving I chose Ethical Problem Solving as my topic because it represents a difficult and important training area, not just for the military but for any organization. From my experience in the Army, I have noticed that the Army is always seeking to develop ethical problem solving from officers and soldiers who come from many different religious, personal, and philosophical backgrounds, who may view some problems and solutions within the ethical field in different ways. All…

ARMY has been always my biggest dream. Growing up with my dad in the military, I’ve always admired the armed forces, especially the ARMY. I have seen in movies how soldiers execute orders; but I’ve always wondered about how those orders or plans came to be. As I progressed through high school, I had a little understanding of the leaders in the military. Being in the SROTC program, I’ve learned more about the planning and strategic operation of the ARMY and the chain of command. In this chain of…

I believe I am fully qualified to become an Army Warrant Officer for many reasons. The first is that I feel I have reached a rank that marks the culmination of my operational career. At this stage in the Army as a Staff Sergeant, I continually fulfill duty positions that are above and beyond my pay grade in both the garrison and deployed environments. This is best exemplified in my recent deployment with 1st Special Forces Group in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. As a Staff Sergeant, I…

The Army slogan growing up as a kid was be all that you can be that was right up until I enlisted then it changed into Army of one that was short lived, because just four years later in 2006 the slogan changed to Army Strong and it still stands a decade later.

Background, schooling, race, religion, and other factors shape Soldiers immensely. By acknowledging differences, qualifications, contributions, and potential, you…

We want the junior Soldiers to say, “now that is a great professional Staff Sergeant and someday I will be as professional as them”. Within the last decade, the Army has become more focused on education. When training, educating and mentoring the professional must always revert and instill the Army values. Loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage are all skills needed to become the best professional. This motto should be repeated and represented…

My leadership philosophy includes all of the Army Values. The value I lean towards most is respect; treat others as you would want them to treat you. If I want my opinion valued, then I should value others’ opinions. If I want to be able to approach a Soldier with an issue, I need to be approachable and honest. I should set the example for my Soldiers. I feel that Soldiers should be counseled for both good and bad performances. I like to be kept in the loop about what’s going on within the unit…
