Lab 17

Cadet Richard Gannon

This week in R.O.T.C was a challenging one. As usual, the day started off with our scheduled Aerospace studies classes. In class, we learned about Operation Northern Watch, Southern Watch and Somalia. Then the pace quickly changed. After class we had a Field Training Prep meeting with our fellow P.O.C. During this time, myself and my classmates were informed of the many challenges that lie ahead in Field Training.

After the meeting, we transitioned into Lab. Lab was an eventful time, in which we learned proper guidion procedures and how to march a flight across a road intersection safely. It was a time for hands on experience, in which we also had the opportunity to try it ourselves, make our own mistakes, and learn from them. Overall, this past week proved to be a productive one. I took away knowledge of the challenges that lie ahead, and bits a pieces of the puzzle that will help me be successful when I reach those challenges.
