Padron - Army Officership Commercial

Major Otto Padron, an officer in the Army Reserve and Senior Vice President of a national television network explains: When I came to this country, I never thought Id get this far. He lists all of the value that have made him successful—expecting more of himself and those around him and teamwork—and how those goals are the product of his training as a U.S. Army officer.

I love my brother's story...it's unique!

I like the manner in which it was executed by the production company.

I hate it when people say the army military teaches nothing but how to kill. It teaches teamwork, brotherhood, and more.

You are lucky in the US. Forgein people who´ll came there learn the language and what to be a part of your great country. In Germany forgein people came, who just want aid, don´t give a fuck about the country and you have to explain that they should please german. But instead of that, most of em live in their own world and become criminals

Otto,

Thanks for setting the 'example' for an old guy in IOBC. Two weeks prior to graduation, you invited my wife and I to dinner at your apartment. My guess is that Carolina is a big girl now.

NEVER! will I forget how you "willed" my sorry butt across the finish line of the 5 mile run.

Eighteen years later, my inability to 'quit' is anchored in what you taught me!

Major Padron has a Bronze Star, which says everything in my book. Hooah!

I served along side Maj. Padron while he was a Captain with the 1/124th back in 2003. Great person and an equally great leader. The Military needs more leaders like him.

Yes, he was enlisted prior to becoming an Officer. In my honest opinion, that makes the BEST officers. As an enlisted soldier, it's a good feeling to know that the orders being given to me is coming from someone who was in my shoes (boots) in the past.

God Speed Sir!

I just have more respect for Padron because he is a reservist, staying in the military longer than the basic commitment - he even went to combat as well. DePinto on the other hand, did his basic 5 and left - nothing impressive except for the fact he's making bank... they shouldn't be recruiting people for the military that way.
