Commanders Welcome Letter

Good afternoon RSP Soldiers! Thank

you for your participation in the After

Action Review (AAR) during August IDT,

your honest feedback assists us with

improving our program and ensures we

provide the most effective training pos-

sible. Each month we will continue in-

struction and indoctrination into the

Army culture to include: standards for

appearance, military bearing, Army-

specific terminology, drill and ceremo-

ny (D&C), physical fitness and rank

structure. Upon your arrival for training

in September, expect the Cadre to en-

force the standards that will be ex-

pected of you upon your arrival 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
