Assignment Instructions: Write a four to five-page personal experience paper (not including cover and references page) that highlights an individual strategy or **experience you have had that helped develop you personally and how that experience had an impact on developing the
members of your unit. In your paper, describe ways in which your personal experiences have influenced a positive outcome or negative outcome. Adhere to APA, 6th Edition standards.

Please use the three highlighted areas below for the level one headings. Please expand on the snapshot of the individual experiences provided
The focus of this paper should be key events from your personal life or service experience, explaining how the events and experiences could have an impact or enrich the Noncommissioned Officer Corps.
Note 1: For this assignment, please focus on the following and also use military references on:
a. Soldier Readiness- Reporting to command team on the accomplishment of individual achievement of pre-basic Soldiers
b. Leadership Challenges- Time management, challenges of dealing with inexperience individuals and what their expectations are before attending Basic Combat Training (BCT)
c. Individual Achievements- three of the pre-basic Soldiers have gone on to become Drill Sergeants, and two have gone on to be future officers
**Individual experience –
Senior leaders face challenges, which will either lead to success or failure. As a Senior Non-commissioned Officer, the ability to face those challenges will display strengths or weaknesses.
Solider Readiness
Senior leaders must ensure soldier readiness, including physical health, mental health, dental, and vision. Also, leaders must ensure the soldier’s records are updated regularly. One of the most rewarding challenges was leading 30 individuals preparing to depart for Basic Combat Training (BCT).
Leadership Challenges
The challenge increased the ability to excel as an individual and impact the soldiers in the command by preparing them for future training.
Individual Achievement
As a result, well over 90% graduated Basic Combat Training (BCT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT), allowing the company to not only remain at 95% overall strength but also prepared them to face whatever challenges necessary.

This is your opinion or position on the topic of your essay (THESIS).
First Main Point (USE THE TITLE OF YOUR POINT)
DO NOT USE the exact words “First Main Point” as Level I heading. Your main point or idea for the first section serves as the Level I heading. Use discussion and substantive evidence from the research for your first key point that supports your thesis. This section should contain multiple paragraphs and will likely be approximately 30% of the assigned length of the essay (@ 1.5 – 2 pages for a 5 – 8-page essay). End by using a transition sentence to introduce your second main point.
Second Main Point (USE THE TITLE OF YOUR POINT)
DO NOT USE the exact words “Second Main Point” as Level I heading. Your main point or idea for the second section serves as the Level I heading. Use discussion and substantive evidence from the research for your second key point that supports your thesis. This section should contain multiple paragraphs and will likely be approximately 30% of the assigned length of the essay. End by using a transition sentence to introduce your third main point.
Third Main Point (USE THE TITLE OF YOUR POINT)
DO NOT USE the exact words “Third Main Point” as Level I heading. Your main point or idea for the third section serves as the Level I head. Use discussion and substantive evidence from the research for your third key point that supports your thesis. This section should contain multiple paragraphs and will likely be approximately 30% of the assigned length of the essay. End by transitioning to your conclusion.
Conclusion
Restate the thesis statement (copy and paste) to remind readers of the controlling idea / position of your essay. Summarize each of your main points and illustrate the connection between your supporting evidence and your opinion (rationale, typically, five to seven complete sentences). Should End with a broad closing statement (big picture). I do not mind if the conclusion is 500 words.
