When I first enlisted, I did not know where my military career would take me. Back at that time, I thought that I may only complete my initial enlistment and move on to other professional pursuits. However, over the past nine years I have come to embrace all that the Philippine Air Force military stands for. I believe that service as an Air Force Officer is a distinguished honor that is surrounded with a rich history of all who have served and sacrificed before me.
The first time I considered joining the military is my father he is my inspiration, my idol, when i was a little boy i see him together with his company carrying their rifles and with their snappy suits think of wearing it also and with their stories like shooting front line with the enemies or under the forest patrol thinking it so much fun,and now i considered my self one of them says ” its hard to be a soldier serving the country even without food, shelter and away from your families and friends, now i know how does it feels to be my father.
but I believe I’ve always had a strong sense of duty and purpose, my mindset was individualistic and compartmentalized.
I cannot think of a better place to serve our great nation than in the Philippine Air Force, and I believe that, within the Air Force, the best way I can put all my resources to service is as an officer.
I possess a diverse and comprehensive background of experience and training. General Douglas MacArthur once said, “A general is just as good as the troops under his command make him.” As a leader, I prefer to practice the principles of servant leadership in most situations.
A servant leader is someone who looks to the needs of the people and asks how they can help them to solve problems and promote personal development. They place their main focus on people, because content and motivated people are able to reach their targets and to fulfill the set expectations. This has a direct connection to being an effective Air Force officer. High quality leadership is critical in order to accomplish the mission and succeed in motivating soldiers to perform at the peak of their personal ability level. It is important to avoid complacency and continually strive for excellence.
