Lead lab begins, as
it usually does, with the escalated heart rate of GMC and the forming up of the
four flights in the gym. Once attendance has been reported, we move directly
into training time, which consists of Drill and Ceremony practice as well as academic
hour. Drill and Ceremony is a time to practice our marching skills, which
consistently proves to be more difficult than it sounds. This week, in between
D&C and academic hour, we were presented with the challenge of moving our
flight across a minefield without the use of sight or verbal communication.
With the flight commander being the only one who could see, the importance of
“following the leader” and trusting your wingmen was extremely apparent. In
academic hour, a game of jeopardy prepared us for next week midterm. We also
received a powerful briefing on the importance of motivation within the
detachment. Lead lab ended with a meeting among mentors and mentees, further
driving home the close knit community that AFRTOC creates.
At PT this week, we preformed AMRAPS, rolling of
the dice workouts, and- as always- ample running. With the FA fast approaching,
everyone is working harder than ever at PT. At PT and in one of the 100’s AS
classes, Lieutenant Fontenot visited, who assists Lieutenant Johnson with
recruitment for the Detachment. Phase 0 met again this week, giving the new
members a glimpse of their swimming workout. Arnie’s trained together bright
and early for their second session this week, which brings the pledges one step
closer to being initiated members. This weekend brings two CSC events, The
Gophers vs. Northwestern and The Vikings vs. The Lions.-Cadet Weingartner
