All,
Please tear this up for me... thank you!
------
I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Iowa. I received a public school education and had no real prospects for a future outside of agriculture. I took a chance and enlisted in the Navy at 17. Since then, I have become proficient in multiple foreign languages, led Sailors and joint personnel at the NSA and DIA, been published in the PDB, and conducted ISR operations across the world. The Navy enabled me to become the first man in my line to receive a college education, complete graduate school, and be admitted to a doctoral program.
I have worked alongside intelligence officers on seven deployments, and I have gained a full appreciation of the profound responsibility they shoulder; in fact, I owe my life to them. When my reconnaissance platform was engaged by hostile forces, my crew and I used the information from our pre-mission briefing to egress the threat envelope, commit our own weapons systems to destroy the enemy, and return to base safely. I have also celebrated intelligence successes in the supporting role, serving with KIWC officers on the ground providing threat warning and force protection during more than a hundred direct action missions.
I’m applying for the intelligence officer program because I have spent 15 years at the tip of the spear, and I’m ready to bring that experience to bear in the wardroom and lead the next generation of IWC professionals through this renewed period of Great Power Competition. Let me throw the spear!
