Personal Statement
military today is constantly changing in terms of its strategy and weaponry, but one thing remains constant -- the patriotism and dedication it demands of soldiers. The world's challenges -- in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and all over the globe are sobering, and it is necessary that officers striving to meet those challenges do so with a combination of flexibility of tactics yet unwavering commitment to their mission.
At age thirty-seven, I believe that I have the maturity, clarity, and sense of purpose and leadership skills to put American values into action. This is why I seek entry to the Officer Training School. In my life, I have already learned a great deal about leadership. First of all, leadership means setting a good example for other through one's own behavior. It means asking more of yourself so you can ask more of others. Motivating others comes by not simply telling them what is right, but making the people you command trust your judgment, so they want to do what is right.
The Officer Training School will further foster my leadership skills and teach me even more valuable lessons about life. It will give me greater technical knowledge of how to meet the world's challenges. It will sharpen my commitment to the nation. I will always be able to look back with pride at my service because I gave all that I could give to my country of my mind, heart, and spirit. I am well aware of the intense rigor of the school, and I know that once I leave it, I will be ready for anything, ready to go anywhere, do anything necessary to honor my country and my training.
I know that I will leave the school a better human being, and I hope to leave the services better for my having served. The job training, leadership skills, and sense of discipline will live within me for the rest of my life.
