what do you all think?
As I have grown in the United States Navy, so have my goals, potential and capabilities. It is my strongest desire not only to make a career of the Navy, but to give the Navy the absolute best I have to offer.
As an enlisted sailor, one of the most important lessons I have experienced is one must first learn to follow before they can lead. I have witnessed firsthand how effective leadership positively transforms the lives of young sailors and was taught the importance of hard work, dedication and that a true leader leads by example. I have learned that leadership is the single most important ingredient in a successful team and that taking care of your sailors is the number one priority. It is my strongest desire to take this knowledge I have attained as a subordinate and bestow it onto my sailors and colleagues alike to better their lives and accomplish the mission. It is my utmost duty as a leader to ensure the Navy’s greatest resource, our people, are utilized to their fullest potential.
I will always use the wisdom and experience that I have attained from my years as an enlisted sailor and the interaction with my officers in charge as a guide in leading my sailors. It is my firm belief that I can make a positive contribution to the United States Navy as a Naval officer and with a strong conviction say I am ready to face the challenges that lie ahead.
