In the Swing of Things
As far as ROTC is concerned, the week
starts with Lead Lab. This week started off less
than perfectly. Generally, when we need to get from place to place, we are
given a time to get there. I’m not entirely sure about the other flights, but
Bravo Flight missed a few of those transfer times, which disappointed our
trainers. In addition to that, there was a deadline the previous week for shirt
sizes that many of us missed, so we have to write a memorandum about the
importance of meeting deadlines and being a good wingman. This worried more
than a few of us because we didn’t know the formatting for such a thing, and to
turn in an incorrectly formatted anything is to be wrong. Being wrong is bad,
in case you weren't sure. Lastly, we are supposed to know a whole array of
“warrior knowledge,” and our trainers did a good job of finding those among us
who didn't study.
During PT, the 100’s (freshmen) ran around the track a couple of times and did a few push-ups
and sit-ups and other exercises with the 300’s and 400’s (juniors and seniors)
while the 200’s (sophomores) did a FTP workout with Cadet Wachter, the Cadet Wing
Commander. Thursday morning, we went on a warrior run across the river and back
again. Along the way we sang some interesting “Jodies.” Thursday morning ended
up being a great bonding time for most of the cadets as well as a great workout.
