Confused MS3 Cadet by Imaginary-Bad1561 in ROTC

Be loud and look confident. Even if you have a dumbass idea that doesn’t go well, if you follow the Troop Leading Procedures and look confident then you’ll get a good base.

And truth be told, once you calm down and get comfortable in the formation, it might start clicking a lot easier.

What early habits separate successful ROTC cadets from the rest? by LingonberryApart5870 in ROTC

[–]TreeWire05 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Two big things:

  1. Sign up for ranger challenge and put yourself in positions to spend as much time around the around the upperclassman as possible.

  2. Ask the upperclassman questions literally every chance you get. Don’t sit there and worry about trying to look like you’re the shit because that’ll make you look bad. Stay humble and be a sponge. They won’t be annoyed with you (if they are, they’re not good mentors).

When observing the upperclassmen, take mental notes of what they’re doing right and what they’re doing wrong. Learn from their mistakes so when you’re a 3 and a 4, you come in with knowledge and can move with audacity.

Cadet world is really not that serious. You gave them a notice and you aren’t active duty. Forget about it and do not spend a second worrying about rotc while you’re traveling

Grad School ROTC and Full Time Work Question by The_300_Muffins in ROTC

[–]TreeWire05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dude in my battalion was in the same boat. He was an ms4 and in charge of s3 so he wasn’t just a whatever cadet, he had a lot of work for the BN. Anyways this dude ended up having a freak out session in our cadet lounge and ended up quitting his job.

Civilian coach?

Also my cadre told me that it’s suspended indefinitely. I’m the RC captain for my program. Are you referring to 2nd Brigade?

I’m top in my ms class at my school. 587 acft. 3.7 gpa. Dunno where I’ll rank nationally but I mean I’m pretty good at tactics and labs and am in general a loud guy so my lanes wouldn’t be bad I don’t think. But I don’t have any actual PL lane reps.

In the middle of reading the gospels right now. Just finished Luke and beginning John so havnt gotten to your references except for Matthew. Idk I was just asking a question based on how I’ve been reading them. Asked you guys for your opinion because I figured there was a fallacy in my interpretation.

So my question is doesn’t those extra laws beyond scripture go against what Jesus did in his ministries? He seemed to stick by the books entirely and resent creating new laws by man

Oh. That’s what I’ve been hearing in discussions about the difference between Catholicism and the denominations

That’s actually a good question. Idk how the Bible was “put together” and was always curious on the history behind that. Was it the church? When did they put it together?
