NCOLS
Non-Commissioned Officer School (NCOLS): Day 2
C/MSgt Van Aken
NCOLS started out the day with a fun round of PT with First Sergeant Watson. They bonded over the mutual pain in their legs as they completed the stair master workout constructed by the First Sergeant, which involves climbing every set of stairs on the campus. Later in the morning they enjoyed a class with C/Capt Drew and C/CMSgt Campbell who taught them how to conduct uniform inspections. The NCOs took a break from classes and completed multiple Leadership Reaction Courses (LRC’s). LRC’s are fun exercises used to encourage team building and leadership between the cadets. The cadets enjoyed an informational class on leadership styles and how their style of leadership can be made more effective. After lunch the cadets learned how to conduct a PT test and spent time practicing how to drill a flight. In the evening the cadets enjoyed a fun class taught by C/Major Rose on evaluating cadets.
C/MSgt Walko was chosen as the honor cadet for Day 2. The honor cadet is chosen each day based on the leadership qualities they show, their attention to detail, improvement in drill performance, and their positive interactions with their peers. Great job Sergeant Walko!

This display is an example of how a table or table placement is dedicated to a deceased individual who died in service of their country: The pushed in chair at an empty table represents the individuals passing and inability to join the meal, the framed portrait reminds those of “faded memories” about the individual, the lemon on the saucer (upper left) represents the bitterness of war, the salt represents the tears of the friends and family, and the ribbon laced around the vase represents the specific service to the nation.
