Should I just remove the Alexander the Great story? I wanted a quick example to show that I understand what being a leader in a difficult situation entails.

Odds are the board isn’t going to read your statement, especially for SWO.

With that said, don’t add random quotes and stories, just say “this is why I am excited to become a SWO and this is what I bring to the table.”

Thank you for everybody's advice. It makes a lot more sense now what I need to do. I wasn't entirely sure what they were looking for.

If you don't have a non-medical waiver very high odds the only one reading that motivational statement is you. The 3 designators that blow through each application in about a minute are SWO, SNA, and SNFO.
