3. Academic Assessment Overall assessment: T Strengths
Overall great effort being put into academics, resulting in the best cumulative GPA in the Corps.
Good use of on campus academic resources by cadets. (ex: SI, academic support center, etc.)
Great mentoring and guidance shown from upper class (Seniors, Juniors, and even some Sophomore) cadets to lower class cadets (Freshman, and struggling Sophomores) about the importance of studying and doing well academically.
Weaknesses
Occasionally gets too rowdy and loud on the galleries during ESP.
Overuse of Netflix and video games during ESP. 
Although 80-90% of cadets excel academically and have great or average GPA's (above 2.5), there is a small portion that are severely struggling (Below 2.0, and many cases below 1.5).  Essentially, we need to identify and help those cadets that are severely struggling.

8. Military Pillar Strategy
Enforce major focus during practice parade and have CO, XO, & DM examine the company for discrepancies.

If an individual is not meeting the standard then remove them from the formation take corrective action.

Cadets seldom miss LTP/Parade/PT, etc.

Continue to emphasize cadet familiarity with the honor system and manual.

Keep bringing the alcohol violations down, only two this year, and maintain the zero drug abuse violations.

12. Physical Effectiveness Assessment

Good PT scores all around.
Number 10 in the corps with average of
One of the least amount of people on remedial PT:
No senior, juniors, or sophomores.
Only 4 knobs at the moment.
No one is on remedial due to HT/WT.
Weaknesses
Poor participation in Intramurals.
Typically a few juniors and some knobs.
Average PT scores may be 10th in the corps but it should be higher than
Have incentives for PT during the week.
Ex. Run 5 miles or spend 3 hours in the gym and get to miss one day of regimental PT the next week.
At the beginning of the year, I believe there were only one junior, one senior, and several sophomores who were in danger of failing HT/WT. Although they passed, it was too close and too many people.
Have incentives for people .
Ex. under 15% body fat…block overnight or weekend.

14. Physical Effectiveness Pillar Strategy
Have more incentives (as listed above).
People are more inclined to be motivated by positive reinforcement rather than negative reinforcement or types of punishment. Have rewards.
Recognize that there is the issue of “you shouldn’t be rewarded for doing what you’re supposed to do”. Well, that sounds good on paper but as anyone knows there are people who don’t do what they’re supposed to and get away with it. It creates a bad environment if the only way to motivate people is to punish the bad. So just reward the correct people. It’ll make the others want to do well.
More company pride to promote intramurals.
It’s not often to hear INDIA being screamed anymore or even anyone sounding off. If the company had more company pride then there would be a more sense of urgency to go and compete in intramurals to retain that pride against other companies.
Tell people to get the healthy food cards.
It is hard to eat healthy at breakfast and lunch given the food on the table. However, if you have the healthy card, you can get the healthy food at the front of the mess hall.
Do more company PT during the week. For example gather whoever wants to go on a run or do some body weight work and go to Hampton Park. There are several cadets in the company who know MMA and other martial arts. Get them to show others in the mat room.*this must be done responsibly and NO SPARRING. Also, get other cadets who are good at specific sports to introduce it to those who don’t know.

15. Company Commander/TAC Comments
Tours were rarely a necessity, pushups, cons and oral reprimands normally did the trick.
Senior privates are usually the biggest table turner but keep them on a reasonable leash.
Just as we are preached to, preach to the company that they must lead each other and never micromanage someone even if they are struggling to survive.
Give them the tools but do not baby them.
Come on as strong as you can be at the beginning, set standards and hold them to it. It is easier to come on strong and relax periodically than to come in relaxed and then become stern.
Above all else stand up for your cadets; go to bat for them.
Had 7 cadets interview at Regimental rank boards; all earned key positions (2 Commanders, Regimental SGM, 2 Battalion SGMs, 1 1/SGT and 1 Regimental Clerk). Significant improvement over last year!
