About this blog

JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) has taught me a lot about leading. I see many who follow and many who try to lead but don't quite make it. I'll try my best to give you advice on how to become a better leader (or a better person in general).

Keep in mind that this is just advice, apply what I have to say at your own risk. I'm just here to share my knowledge and my experiences from being Commander, 1st Sergeant, Squad Leader and Guide On.

Please feel free to add your own advice in the comments, I do read them and I will learn from them if they are helpful. A leader should always have an open mind.

When I was 1st Sergeant for Echo Company taking role was atrocious because people would talk while I was taking role. Eventually things got better (thank you sergeant for helping me out with this situation!

How to Become a Leader 101 Ep.1- Dread Not!

If you want to become a leader the first step is to come out of your shell. Get to know everyone in your group and interact. You're probably wondering why interact is in bold, it's in bold because interaction lets others be aware of your presence and allows you to learn about everyone in your group. Knowing how everyone ticks is good knowledge to keep because when you become a leader your decisions and their outcomes depend on how others respond to your decisions. Do not be afraid to talk t
