Next month, I’ll return to Creighton University to begin my senior year, and my MS IV year of Army ROTC. I just returned from LDAC (Operation Warrior Forge) last week at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and I believe I am well-positioned to help prepare the junior class, the MS IIIs, to attend WF next summer. The officers and NCOs at WF were tough, but their guidance and evaluations were fair and necessary. I am thankful for their efforts and am glad they were able to share...read more

Hoping to remember everything the cadre here has taught me. I feel pretty well prepared. We're having a training day this weekend focusing on combat patrols. The experience will be...read more
