1.this kind of scenario,sometimes happen but before this applies as you become a POIC.its a process in a
unit/office that before you take a part as a POIC,you are informed that you will be on that position.And
also your officemates/workmates in your unit/department.
when i come to this situation.i will always respect them as my seniors so that they would respect ne as
their poic.Because having a good camaraderie is one aspect in a unit that you can work well with each
other.I will do my job as a poic because i was appointed in that position but i will never neglect in our
unit that their my seniors.i know sometimes its awkward to tell your seniors what to do,but it depends
on how you tell it to them.we are at our period now that we know what we are in a unit and who you
are in a unit.you dont need to tell them that your the boss.because they already know that.their in the
military their not civilians.they know the process on how it goes in every unit.some problems in this
situation for example is when your senior doesnt follow instructions and does not take you seriously
because their your junior in serial number.in this kind of situation i adress thi as a childish stuff.because
they are seniors they must know how the organization work.i will take my actions here as a poic but i eill
never forget that im their junior.ill talk to them if theres a problem,and will do what kind of solutions we
need to maintain a good relationship to our unit.but of course i need their cooperation.and if that does
not work.i will take it to a higher stage.that we will talk to our cmaa.so that they would understand on
how it works.there is nothing wrong in this situation that youll be a poic of your seniors.some of the
problems here is the ego of your seniors.they are not matured enough to accept that youre in ranking.so
for me the secret in this situation is understanding your subordinates and be mature in all of your
positions and maintain a good relationship in your unit or department.
2.for me,given this chance to go with my ongoing CO is a very good thing,that means i earned his trust in
our times that we are in the same unit.but its not like that you must decide quickly.because once a CO
leaves a unit he has a target in his carreer.me as an enlisted personnel i have my own carreer to fulfill to.
Leaving a unit is not just like that,you might assess the situation if it will be applicable for you to
leave,for your carreer,for the unit that your going to be in,and the unit that youre leaving behind.you
cant just leave your unit if you know you are needed in your previous unit.And also in your career.you
must understand that if it can be applicable for your status in your carreer.and also if leaving can put
you much nearer in your family.because for me you must decide for yourself.this will affect your
progress in your career.its not just about the trust of your CO you must consider.because for me, im not
focused on who will i work with im more focused about my self progress.i dont care if my incoming Co
will be a terror.as long as you know your job and you know what youre doing theres nothing to be afraid
of.theres a lot to consider in leaving a unit not just you.but for the unit that you are leaving.for me a unit
is not just a workplace,its uour second home.if you passed your knowledge to youre subordinates in the
unit.and you will not be a loss for them when you leave.And when the unit that youll be in,will make
you more than what you are now.i think its the point that you need to geab that opurtunity to go with
your former CO.its not all about who is going to lead you in your unit.its for your carreer
3.given the chance.i will choose the leadership style of the outgoing CO.you dont need to be a teror
style leadership.the leadership style of the incoming CO is a teror.some of the personnel will work
because they will be scared of him.work with pressure is a very difficult thing to handle.i choose the
style of the outgoing because its more likely that all the personnel will have a good moral.as
compared,the personnel will work with no doubt,they can do whatever kind of idea they can have in
yheir tasked activity.we dont let fear get in their minds to go to their work.they will work with their
peace of mind.having your personnel scared of your style in leadership can sometimes cause positive
and negative outcome.in positive it can give you fast results in whatever task youve given to them,but
the negative part of this is the quality of work.they will have the effort to do it but they dont think ahead
on what the outcome will be.because they focus more on finishing the job ,they wouldnt think of the
best way to improve it .the very secret to being a good leader for me is when you experienced to be in
the smallest of that organization.your the "lowest mammal" that they say in the organization.because
thats the point that you know all the ups and downs of the job .how can you lead an organization if you
dont know how to obey.experience is also important so that you know how it will be done.and the most
important of all is knowing your personnel.each and everyone of us has different lives.we dont know
whats going on thru his mind.maybe he/she has problems in their family.we should always know our
troops.thats the best way for me being a leader.leadership comes in many styles.but for me the best
way is to know your subordinates.and check their moral.high moral means a good relationship between
leaders and subordinates.thats my leadership style.
4.being a soldier and a father is the best thing in life that god has given me.its the most inspiring thing
that every man would love to be in.for me im here at this point.in this kind of situation you must be a
two person,one in the unit and another person in your family.but how can you perform it when you only
have one body.
my first priority is my family next is the service in the military .presence is a big factor in a child when
he/she is growing up.for me i have a fiancee,and our love brought us to this daughter of mine,shes 3
years old now.their my motivations in life.that keeps me pumped up to go work and work and
work.their my inspiration.i have plenty of plans for them in the future.they are the reason why i leave
home sad on the inside and happy on the outside.you must hide your feelings to them that your
sad.because they will be much more sadder too.you must show them that its your job,to go far
away.and workhard.of course my 3 years old baby wouldnt understand it.but i know someday she will
understand me.And for my fiancee,i know shes an emotional person.i know when im packing my
bags,preparing to leave i know it that deep inside shes very sad.i know it is the most difficult part of
being in the military.but thats how it goes.leaving home is sad,but i turn that into a good energy by
thinking that it is the only way that i can give them food everyday.always keep in touch with your family
even if you are far away.it is more easier now to contact your family because it is more hightech now.we
have phones,we can video call it is more manageable.so i plan to finish my sea duty and maybe target
the unit that is mych more closer to home.so that my fiancee and daughter can feel the presence of me
being near to them.and i hope that someday they will be proud of me that im her husband and a father.
