Welcome back Eagle Battalion! 

I hope you all had an enjoyable and safe summer. 

For those cadets already in the program, I know most of you have been busy with either the Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) at Ft Lewis, the Leader Training Course (LTC) at Fort Knox, or doing some other ARMY training like jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft in mid-flight or working with helicopters.  You can be proud of your accomplishments.

Over the past year, I’ve had a great time learning and getting to know you.  All of you are talented, special people who make many sacrifices to be here.  You are an indispensable part of the Army ROTC team.  Your past accomplishments are indicative of your future successes in defending this great country.

Juniors and Seniors: 

1. Mandatory Meeting: 30 August 2007 in room 308 time TBA.  LDP and training meetings.  Call MAJ Eddy or myself if you cannot be there. MSIV training will last about 4 hours; MS IIIs – 2 hours.
2. All seniors and completion cadets: Be available for last minute accession packet reviews and signatures.
