LLab 5

Good Afternoon Cadets!

This past LLab was Operation Rising Warhawk (ORW). A day where GMC run a Leadership Lab and train other cadets in certain procedures that are in the Field Training Manuel such as SABC, ORI’s, and so on. The idea behind ORW isn't to train cadets, but to help them understand the stress of working in a high stress environment. As a GMC myself I understand it can be extremely stressful, but we all need to know how to act under pressure. Field Training will test us on how we react to stress and change. If you felt that you didn't do so well LLab 5, don’t stress yourself to much on it. There will be another ORW later on in the semester where you can show what you have learned.

LLab 4

Hello Cadets!



I hope everyone enjoyed Warrior Day. The purpose of Warrior Day isn't only a day of fun and games, but also a day to build warrior ethos and team work. What is Warrior Ethos you ask? Warrior Ethos is a characteristic in which Airmen, like us, act aggressively or energetically toward a conflict, activity, or cause. During LLab 4 we played a game of Ultimate Frisbee with our flights. We acted in a energetic manner as we ran after the Frisbee to score a point for our flight, but it doesn't stop there. Take a second to read this article by MSgt. John Deegan on what Warrior Ethos really means to him in a combat environment.

LLab 3

Good Afternoon Cadets!

I hope everyone has enjoyed LLab 3 along with their week so far. LLab 3 was a continuation of Drill and Ceremony for the 100's. For the 200's it was a continuation of Advanced Drill and Road Guard procedures that we touched on a bit last year. Remember, practice makes perfect! It may feel repetitive at times, but in the end it will all pay off. Everyone has been doing a great job so far so keep working, stay motivated, and embrace the Air Force Core Values.

LLab 2

Hello Cadets!

I hope everyone enjoyed Leadership Lab 2. Leadership Lab 2 was focused mainly on drill. Keep practicing at it and eventually you will become better at it than the week before. By the time you GMC reach Field Training, you will know how to properly lead a flight, call commands, and know your drill movements. At times it may feel difficult to take command or perform drill movements, but remember to take a deep breath and take things a step back. Its ok to make mistakes, but its how you recover from them that makes you a good leader. Don't give up, keep working hard, ask questions, and lastly ask for help when you need it! There is no shame what so ever in asking for help. You can only better yourselves as a Air Force ROTC Cadet when you ask for help.
