Pointers, This is it. College is over. I still can’t wrap my mind around it. It’s been almost two months since I’ve graduated and commissioned and I have so much to catch you up on. First, commissioning was amazing. It was such a bittersweet moment. My entire family was able to make the drive from […]

According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), 23.1% of undergraduate females and 5.4% of undergraduate males experience rape or sexual assault on their college campus. In […]

Only 41 days until commissioning. 42 days until graduation. Can you believe it..?! I can’t. So far, spring semester has been a lot of fun actually. As Command Sergeant Major (CSM), I have a couple other seniors within the battalion who make my job a lot less stressful than it should be. CSM comes with […]

Pointers, I cannot believe that my junior year is in the books already! It was an amazing year, that’s for sure. So much was accomplished, not only in school, but in ROTC. I participated in Ranger Challenge (where we placed highest ever in UW-Stevens Point ROTC history [4th place]) … I got gold at GAFMPB […]

There are midterms, projects, papers, presentations, summer planning, and let’s not forget all the stress of making sure your grades are up to snuff before finals! Add all of that […]
