The coolest part of the 5 days was seeing my cadets see DC for the first time and get to meet leaders who I think are amazing and learn from them. Oh and tie all the things weโ€™ve been learning in class (role of the president, civ control of the military, cocomโ€™s, adcon vs opcon, joint force, etc) and then them see it in real life. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

I didnโ€™t even know what a staff ride was until I was in for 8 years. This is so sick to get this experience as a cadet.

@amanda.pelkowski that's so cool! Would have loved to do something like this when I was a cadet.

So amazing! I would have loved this my Senior year! Not sure how many other ROTC programs do this but it should be adopted everywhere (understanding funding constraints but also realizing students may also pay for it themselves)! I think itโ€™s a great perspective before commissioning! ๐Ÿ‘
