Briefly outline your action plan to pursue the solution to the problem.

My plan will consist of simply motivating young individuals on having a career in the military. This mostly based on my owned experience and given that I only serve in the Coast Guard, but still giving the sense that the military is a proud organization and an experience of a lifetime. My plan to motivate is by assisting with my local recruiting office with recruiting efforts at local high schools and engaging with the youthful minds to give them the clear information from the source in efforts of enticing them to join the military based on the incentives already in play.

Explain what you want your audience to do about the problem.

The one targeted audience is the high-ranking officials that make the certain decisions when it comes to military recruiting and retention. This audience should be working on more incentives to make the military more intriguing and also making it so they would want to stay in. The other part for this audience is by making social media pages that show positive, everyday life in the military to give the viewers a better understanding of what certain branches do and how they work.

The other targeted audience is our peers in the military and motivating them to also help with recruiting efforts in order to get the information out how have a career in the military is very rewarding which will enhance the effectiveness in bringing in more recruits.

Describe how you might engage your personal agency to overcome any potential obstacles.

I would engage with my local recruiters and make sure I have all the right information needed to present to others on the benefits of joining the military such as jobs, pay, incentives, and pursuit of higher education while serving. I would then educate my peers in their recruiting efforts with the same information.

Evaluate the degree to which your personal agency changed as a result of addressing this problem.

My personal agency has not really changed since I am motivated to be a part of the solution to this problem. Once I have a task at hand, I give my all until the job is complete. Not only am I motivating myself but motivating my peers in keeping up with such efforts. It is tall task in recruiting especially in just a local area to fix these numbers and is overwhelming, but all it takes is a little bit at time and sooner or later the goal will be met.
