Military Assessment P Strengths – Bravo does not abuse the 4 th class system – We rely on the chain of command – Females are respected when put in a position of authority Weaknesses – Parades; not many are motivated or inclined to do well at them – Sgts become lazy if the first sgt and PLs do not stay on top of them – Some cadets have a tendency to get lazy with guard duty 6

Military Pillar Strategy It’s important to stay on your first sgt and PLs to ensure they stay on top of their sgts so they do their jobs The drillmaster needs to be stricter with cadets during parade The XO needs to give swift punishment to those who refuse to do their guard duty Do not take care of problems directly, but use the chain of command 8

Company Commander/TAC Comments You need to use the chain of command Rank holders need to know exactly what they are responsible for Use your senior privates Make sure you don’t micromanage, but verify that others are doing what they are supposed to 15
