💂🏻♀️| The 858thNaval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps 1st Instructions on MS1 Cadet’s.
To be an ROTC cadet is to embrace a calling. It is a pledge to rise above self interest, to lead with courage, and to serve with humility. The challenges are stepping stones; the lessons, lifelong treasures. As you lace your boots/shoes each morning, remember: you are not just training to wear a uniform. You are preparing to carry the weight of leadership, to light the way for others, and to leave an indelible mark on the world. In the words of Aristotle, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." The ROTC journey is your path to excellence walk it with pride.
