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
