I am applying for WOFT for AD Army. This is a rough draft of my letter of why I want to be a WO. Any insight, please?

Following in the footsteps of great men and women that have filled the Warrant Officer Corps since its inception in 1918 would be an honor and a privilege. I want to join the ranks of these consummate professionals who are united in one purpose: serving our wonderful country.
I desire to dedicate my life to something bigger than myself and to serve as a Warrant Officer alongside others with the same passion and who will challenge me to be my best.

I have been thrown many curveballs throughout my life but the constant through it all has been a standard that I do not let myself fall beneath: striving to be my absolute best. However, no one can be there best alone. Both personally and professionally, I have found that I become a better person when I surround myself with people who are confident, stronger and more talented than myself.

I have been fortunate to hold a variety of leadership positions throughout my life. I have served in leadership at my church in multiple roles, been certified to train emergency service dispatchers, and managed two businesses. In each of these opportunities, I find that embracing challenges is more easily accomplished alongside a dedicated team of individuals coming together with the same goal. A large part of being a leader is not forcing a team to get behind your plan, but cultivating a united environment. I envision these leadership skills I have acquired will not only contribute but will be tested and will grow in the Warrant Officer Corps.

Coming from a family with a long line of military service, the pride in our nation and the call to
serve our country is rooted in my foundation. The Army is where I choose to devote my skills, my passion, and growth. It is where I will be able to hone self-discipline, confidence and where I can devote my best to my country. With a loving wife of five years and each member of my family backing my decision to join the military, I humbly submit my application for the United States Army Warrant Officer Flight Training.
