“Winning Soldier of the month was a challenging experience for me. All the studying I had
done finally paid off in a big way. Going through the
company mock board I was extremely nervous as I
had never been to any kind of board before. That
gave me a little more confidence going in to the
company diamond sharp board. Soldier of the
Month Board was a great learning experience for
me. As I continue to improve and keep developing
my leadership skills, I will be able to become a more
competent leader. This will enable me to be a more
efficient leader when I reach my goal of joining the
Non Commissioned Officer ranks in the near future.
I have learned a lot about self improvement in this
deployment.
Studying for this board has showed me that hard
work and dedication pay off in the end. At first it
seemed like a daunting task, retaining that much information but as the study sessions went along I
started to retain more and more of it. Winning this
board has showed me that self improvement is important to develop and hone your skills as a soldier
and future leader. “
SSG Morales has giving me mentorship and
guidance on not only my MOS but helping me improve on my weaknesses as well. He has showed
me what it takes to be a leader of soldiers. The Division Signal Company has helped me grow as a person and a soldier. The company has always showed
me support and are constantly pushing me to improve and develop the necessary skills I need for me
to be able to lead soldiers. “
