Agreed.Write a statement from your heart, the way you think and feel. The one only you can write.
Don't try to make it sound like T.S. Elliot wrote it, would be the best advice I could give you. They want to know a little about you and what makes you tick.
My advice would be to include that you want to be a career Naval Officer. USNA is basically “investing” thousands of dollars in you. They want it to be a “good investment”Hey everyone, im new to the form and will applying to the C/O 2028. I was wondering if anyone had any tips/things to include for the personal statement?
While you should certainly emphasize your desire to serve as an Officer in the Navy or Marine Corps, it is not necessary to pledge your life to the Navy.... When I hear that, I can't help thinking that candidate is either saying what he/she thinks I want to hear (see comment above), or is very naive. I was the latter 40+ years ago --I had my whole life planned at 18; I wasn't going to get married or have kids until LCDR and was going to be a lifer. That lasted until I met my now wife when I was at NAPS. On the other hand, I had classmates that were pretty open about being five and out and went on to long , successful careers.My advice would be to include that you want to be a career Naval Officer.
