I have a couple of questions for you, if you have the time to get to them.
1) With what rank did you enter the battalion this time around, and how much time have you spent in it so far?
2) Can you give specific examples of how you have made a positive impact on the community since the events surrounding your last commander report?
- I ask this one because each time I see your name, I think back to that event. We've had some cordial discussion since, but I don't think that a few positive interactions is enough in this case.
3) Where do you think you went wrong in your previous leadership positions (Rancor, CIS, 21st)? What did you do effectively there? You show little to no self-reflection in your experience section and take little to no accountability for your failures, only taking accountability for your successes. Please tell us a bit more about how you have grown.
4) Your "future plans" section on the application is very concerning - you tell us that you want DU to be active, improve relations, increase seriousness, and improve infrastructure, but you tell us nothing about HOW you will accomplish these things.
How will you improve relations? Are you going to do joint trainings or reach out to other batts? How are you going to boost activity? Just by virtue of you being you? I don't think you can rely on a subset of 10 players that are your friends coming back permanently - once you leave and your term is up, they'll be gone too. How will you increase seriousness? Redo the disciplinary guidelines, enforce PT, one-strike system?
Give us something to work with, please! You might have a lot of history behind you (good and bad), but I'm surprised that no one else has commented on the brief nature of your applicaiton. It's hardly a page long with your past experiences taking up more than 90% of the content.
Until you answer these questions, update your application with specific plans, or do some self-reflection on your past experiences, I'm going to have to -1 your application.
Regardless, good luck.
