Could someone review and give feed back on my summary for WOFT Packet?

As a child I was always drawn to the military, especially the Army. I remember sitting down with my father watching shows about the various wars America has fought in. Of particular interest to me has always been the Vietnam War, and the involvement of helicopters in that conflict. I would watch in awe the footage of those flying around on the screen and dream that one day I might find myself in the seat of one. To me those nameless men soring around the jungle canopy were heroes. I idolized them, they were something special, something extraordinary. The impact they were making on the battlefield, and on the lives of the men they transported was unmatched and inspiring. Since that time I have always been fueled by two ideals; a desire to do something extraordinary and a strong urge to matter, to be impactful.

I have spent the past 7 years of my life doing everything I could to uphold those two ideals. For the majority of my military career I have been a United States Army Reservist which presented me with the unique challenge of managing both a military and civilian career. More importantly though this gave me an excellent opportunity to make an impact not just in the Army but in the civilian sector as well. What I found after 7 years living this double life we’re 3 things.

First and foremost I found a love and passion for the military and military life in general. All my lice I had been drawn to everything military and now I knew the Army was what I wanted to spend my adult life doing. Second, the time I spent in the Behavioral Health field gave me an immense appreciation for and understanding of people, and just how complex they are. More importantly though, I realized that I had a talent for coaching and mentoring people especially during low points and periods of crisis. Finally, that ideal that had grown in me as a child, to be impactful, has sprouted unto a full blown conviction. In every phase of my life I have taken it as a personal mission to improve the place I was in but not only in simply aesthetic ways, but by improving systems as a whole. Working in a hospital and being part of the military filled me with a strong desire to improve and impact the way in which things were don’t in order to improve outcomes.

Being an aviator was something I had always dreamed of doing, but for many years I had left it in that realm. I have now reached a point in my life where I know being an aviator is no longer just a dream, but that it is within my reach. I feel as though my whole life both as a civilian and Soldier have led me to and prepared me for this point. So that I would be the best possible and most impactful Warrant Officer and aviator that I could be. I hope that my resume has done a satisfactory job of showing my leadership, management, technical, and tactical skills. What I worry that it misses and what I would most want to be said of me is the positive impact I have had in those I served and worked with. What it may not show are the countless patients I counseled through crisis or the Soldiers who’s lives I worked so hard to positively impact. I look forward with hope and anticipation to this next phase of my life, and trust that I will soon be opening the door to a career as both a Warrant Officer and Aviator.
