In reading the entries already submitted, I stand humbled and inspired by the impressive strides achieved in light of seemingly insurmountable odds. I wish you all the best of luck and look forward to working with you within the exciting and ever dynamic profession of protocol.
As an active duty military officer proudly serving the U.S. Coast Guard, I find myself poised to embrace my most challenging assignment to date. Upon completion of an ultra competitive interview and screening process, I was recently selected to the distinguished position of Protocol Officer to the Commandant. Within this capacity my duties will include planning and coordinating complex and traditionally rich ceremonies to include, formal dining-in events, receptions, award ceremonies and the coordination of distinguished VIP visits. Moreover, in addition to serving the most senior officials within my organization, I will be charged with providing critical advisement to deployed Coast Guard units engaged in official engagements spanning across Asia, Europe and the Continental U.S.
My vision is to complete the upcoming Protocol Officer Training Course scheduled for 8-13 May 2014, immediately thereafter I will report to Coast Guard Headquarters and assume the official title of Protocol Officer the very next day. Uniquely positioned to immediately apply the skills and instruction acquired from The Protocol School of Washington, I will make a significant impact onto the official planning committee charged with facilitating Change of Command Ceremonies for the Commandant and Vice Commandant respectively this summer. In so far as international affairs, I will stand ready to serve as primary liaison and military advisor to foreign maritime authorities being hosted by the United States, as well as traveling abroad with senior Coast Guard officials being received by allied nations seeking guidance from the world's premier maritime authority.
In light of the austere financial climate, organizational funds are currently unavailable in support of this highly recommended training course. Nevertheless, I remain steadfast and have supplemented my exposure to matters pertinent to protocol through available publications sponsored by the Office of the Chief of Protocol and instructional manuals compiled by various Armed Forces Branches. Despite obtaining valuable insight and knowledge from aforementioned sources, I remain wanting for formal instruction and simulated real world experience. Accordingly, the opportunity to attend The Protocol School of Washington provides a tailored solution to my acknowledged gap in technical expertise.
Guided by my service motto Semper Paratus, “Always Ready,” I aim to do my best to ensure the well-deserved reputation enjoyed by the U.S. Armed Forces is not only sustained but also further enhanced by the appropriate and consistent application of unrivaled decorum.
Lastly, I thank you for your consideration and compliment you on coordinating this novel initiative towards recognizing National Protocol Officer Week.
With Kind Regards,
Ronney Wright
