Platoon

The activity which is the most important to me is holding the position and rank of a Platoon Warrant. I have been in the Cadets program for five years and at the end of the fourth the year I was assigned the rank of Warrant Officer with the position of Platoon Warrant.

On the way to receiving this position, I have had multiple qualifications which I acquired.…

When I first started my career at The Department of Corrections (CDCR) in Chino, California, I had no idea that my decision to become a Correctional Officer would be one of the worst career choices of my life. One day, in particular, made this abundantly clear. One single day would challenge my ethical viewpoint, and without a doubt instill that no profession is worth my soul and making the appropriate ethical decision can be a traumatic experience. It all started when I arrived to work on that…

“Everyone get on the deck!” CO Pichoff yelled. (CO means Commanding Officer. The Commanding Officer for the Eisenhower Squadron was CO Pichoff). I quickly learned what that meant when I saw everyone doing push-ups including myself. Apparently, no one yelled attention on deck when the CO walked in. It was my first drill with the sea cadets and I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know if I should look forward to this day or if I would hate it forever. The CO then ordered everyone to get ready…

context, here was the situation. Members of my platoon were all transferred from our first assigned platoon to an overflow platoon, created to decrease overall group size. Amusingly, because everyone was selected alphabetically, the last name closest to the beginning of the alphabet started with R. Because this happened after the first week all the bonds that we had formed with our first platoon were broken, and we were nicknamed the bastard platoon. As a result of this perception we performed…

LT McDonough Leadership assessment The book Platoon Leader provides a wide range of leadership situations and challenges.

Overall, he led his platoon very well and successfully. One of McDonough’s strongest leadership abilities was his intellect. He was able to analyze problems and implement effective…

I am a Cavalry Scout and was deployed to Afghanistan during a time of heightened political activity and very restrictive rules of engagement. I was also attached to an Artillery Battalion with little experience with a maneuver element. My Platoon felt we were being put in harm’s way while having little impact on the mission. We decided to be creative and use our resources in an unorthodox fashion to bring positive results to our area of operations. I was deployed to Afghanistan from February…

and the other methods of attack, Fynta declared that they had a plan. “Coria, Marshall, you’re up for the infantry,” Fynta remarked, pointing to the narrow paths that flanked the building on the holomap that Jorgan held out. “Captain Lesher, your platoon can have the Imp armor.” “We will carve through them easily, Major!” The Advozse raised a fist dramatically, pulling a shout from his men who watched from a…

in the military. In the study, co-ed platoons consisting roughly of one-fourth females faced realistic challenges which platoons on the front lines may face in combat. When the results of the co-ed platoons were compared to the performances of the all-male platoons, the platoons with females did not perform as effectively (“Marine Corps Study”). The Marine Corps explained that women were more prone to injuries in these activities; as well as, the co-ed platoons were not able to carry out the…
