Promotion
Excerpt from an admin action form that finally came in after 3 weeks at Norwich. I was an "acting PSG" for the past three weeks.
-----------
NUCC Administrative Action Form
"Change of Rank"
Promote to: SFC
Reduce to:
"Duty Assignment"
Current: Upperclassmen SQD LDR
New: Upperclassmen PLT SGT
-----------
Someone's got to do it and I somehow I was on campus at the right time.
But it's not a fun job. Trying to keep upperclassmen in line sucks. But this experience will be a test of my confidence and the lack thereof. So what if I got a 1st PLT SGT job. Sure I won't be allowed to interact with recruits. However my role is to put order into upperclassmen cadets which comprise of practically 2/3 of the Corps of Cadets. And I need to remember the fact that I am still in cadet land.
But I'll have the time to do my work with a courseload that is sheer madness. A biologist's worst nightmare is Organic Chemistry. Time to put all my ambitions on hold, I'm going to need to haul ass on my study.
I recorded PT tests this Saturday morning, on my well deserved day off. One thing non-army sophomores need to do, particularly those in the Marines Corps ROTC department need to learn how to do is....
.... a proper pushup!!!
"aLL the WaY DowN YoU!!"
"Break the plane!!"
"Move up as one UniT!"
.... and a proper sit-up
"KeeP YouR ASS on the GROuND!!"
"Get to 90 DEgREES!!"
That's pretty much it. I don't think it's hard to screw a up a run.
