As we get further into the fall semester of 2010, the weeks seem to be flying by. Each week the cadre presents the younger members of AFROTC with something new, and they begin to teach different techniques that we will need to succeed in future missions and military areas of our lives. The new material, such as learning how to inspect uniforms and how to perform an ORI are essential because we will be performing these inspections once we become part of the military officially. As it was a little intimidating, it was a great learning experience to watch the FTP take on leadership roles and take charge of each squadron. Each FTP member would take turns commanding our squadrons and walking side by side with an inspector as they would in an official ORI. As freshmen, I stood there being inspected, while silently taking notes on the mistakes made and good things that were done as well. I look forward to performing these tasks and others as well, as my class becomes upperclassmen in the ROTC program and eventually officers in the Air Force. The upperclassmen this year have done a great job on making material interesting and useful, thus far.
