Ability to communicate both orally and in writing.
Working for the military, I have communicated both orally and in writing to subordinates and leadership. Since 2005, I have written the military’s version of assessments and appraisals.

    Cadet’s and my Adventure Within Army Cadets and Cadets in general has played a giant role in my entire life. To start from the beginning, I used to go to Navy League, which is also a Cadet program but for ages 9-12.

    Before I came to Kisling Non-Commissioned Officer Academy (NCOA), I thought of myself as a good leader with certain traits and aspects. I believe that if I take care of my airmen, that they’ll take care of me by completing work orders, squadron objectives, or any future events without question. It wasn’t until I attended NCOA, that I was able to put concept names to the leadership traits that I had. For example, I would put aside my self-interest for the good of the work center because I wanted my guys to know that I have their best interest at heart. Which turns out to be part of transformational leader idealized influence.…

    The Closure of US Military Bases Abroad Benefits our Government Lately, the United States Armed Forces have needed to take more actions into account for the protection and well-being of all of the people of the United States.
