"Eagle Battalion, Sir"

Eagle Battalion Alumni

The instructors were asked what do they consider to be the most important aspect of working with youth today and their reply was; "KIDS DO NOT CARE YOU KNOW; UNTIL THEY KNOW YOU CARE". Showing compassion and understanding for one another is not a sign of weakness but of respect an ones' well being.

"LEADERS" are developed young and improve with age. One does not learn to be a leader overnight. One must experience the mistakes that a leader makes, the joy of success and the difference between the right and wrong way of doing things.

Some of our past cadets have come back and talked to the classes advising them on their mistakes. One that is resounded often is, "If I had it to do over, I wish I could come back to high school and work harder on my grades." Our teachers were right, life is not as colorful once you are out of school as you might believe it is.
