Commanders Welcome Letter

Good afternoon RSP Soldiers! Thank you

for your participation in the After Action

Review (AAR) during May’s IDT, your hon-

est feedback assists us with improving our

program and ensures we provide the most

effective training possible. Each month we

will continue instruction and indoctrination

into the Army culture to include: standards

for appearance, military bearing, Army-

specific terminology, drill and ceremony

(D&C), physical fitness and rank structure.

Upon your arrival for training in May, ex-

pect the Cadre to enforce the standards

that will be expected of you upon your arri-

val at Basic Combat Training (BCT) and

throughout your military career. If you

have questions about specific require-

ments for hair, facial hair, jewelry, nail

length etc., do not hesitate to contact your

Recruiter or RSP NCOIC, SFC Baker at

(907) 428-7303 prior to drill. I am very

proud of your commitment and dedication

to this program and I encourage you to

challenge yourselves every drill; when

you’re ready to give up, dig down a little

further than you did the month before, I

guarantee you will discover a surprising

reserve of strength and endurance. ARMY

STRONG!

“Challenges are gifts that force us to

search for a new center of gravity. Don't

fight them. Just find a different way to

stand.” - Oprah Winfrey
