FTPs,

 

    Good evening.  Tonight, we noticed a sad trend reach new lows at Blue Knights.  The FTPs were outnumbered about 4 to 1.  There were two cadets from Zulu (not counting the commander) and two or three from Yankee.  This is unacceptable; or rather the whole lack of caring attitude being projected by the FTP class as a whole.  We need to pull it together and become a team.  We need to start showing up for things and doing right.  WE have to prepare ourselves for FIELD TRAINING.  Remember the adage "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."  That is exactly what we should all think, everyday when we are challenged in ROTC.  Tying it with this, everyone needs to do their part in all the other activities, such as: booths at games, tiger team, and most recently the POW/MIA vigil.  If you don't come you make it harder on your fellow cadets.  Some cadets did not show up to the vigil, causing POC, FTP, and GMC cadets to stand longer than their allotted time.  Let's think of other's when, and before we act.

    Hopefully tomorrow at lab we can begin to demonstrate to the POC and cadre that we are unifying and can do what is required, and excel at it.

 

PAX,
