I'm sure you know, but there is a major chance of rain this weekend. I'm not sure what will happen with the game, but regardless the BBQ will still go on. If the rain holds off we will eat outside like normal. If the weather is not cooperating will will serve the food in the dorm and then you can eat in your cadet's room. Like with everything else I just ask you to remain flexible and go with the flow.

Arkansas Weekend
Drill - ? (really early)
Fall In - 9:36
Step Off - 9:51
Kick Off - 11:21
BBQ - 5 pm
Menu - $7
Fajitas (Beef and Chicken)
Rice
Beans
2 waters with flavor packets
brownies provided by some of the A-Co moms
We have had great turnouts for the first two BBQ's. It is awesome to see everyone hanging out enjoying each other. Compared to last year I think the BBQ's are running very smoothly. Thank you for being flexible and just going with the flow.
We have started a new thing in A-Co. Fish and PH of the week. These are two cadets that have caught the eye of the leadership team in A-Co for their performance during the week. This week we are honoring fish Heartwell and Jordan Garcia. Along with the distinction of Fish and PH of the Week, these cadets will be receiving JP's for the entire weekend. The only people that can revoke these are myself and my First Sergeant.

Things happening this weekend
We will be taking band pictures on Sunday at 2:00. This means your fish will need to be back in the dorm at 1:00. We are going first so they cannot be late. There has not been a weekend yet that everyone is back when they need to be. This weekend is not the time to push the envelope - if they are not present they will not be in the outfit picture. After we get done taking pictures they will be free until EST starts. I understand that this might be in the way of you spending all weekend with your freshman, but there is noting I can do about it. Again, they need to be in the dorm by 1:00 and should be free again by 3:00. At that point they can do and go where ever as long as they are back by EST.
This Saturday infantry band (A-Co and B-Co) will be responsible for performing at Spirit Walk. Basically we play and escort the football team into the stadium. I believe that we will meet in front of Duncan at 3:15 and then make our way to where we form up (the road between G. Rollie and Koldus). I think that we try to be formed up by 3:30.
There has been a slight change in the menu for the BBQ. I believe that we will be have chips again instead of potato salad. If you were just dying for potatoes, just grab a bag of lays and have it in a different form.
Everything is going well in the Wolf-Pack. We just took our first PFT of the semester. Although not everybody did as well as they wanted too, overall I was pleased with our performance. By the time we see yall this weekend, our run total will be over 20 miles. We are well on our way to 100. I hope everyone is having a great week. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Plan this weekend
Here is the plan for this weekend.
8:00 - Drill
12:00 - BBQ
4:15 - Fall In
4:30 - Step Off
6:00 - BTHO SCS
The menu for the BBQ will be hamburgers, potato salad, corn, and two bottles of water with flavor packets. The cost for this week will be $6 again. We should have more change this week, so it is not imperative that you have exact change.
As everyone can tell after the Florida game, cstat is not big enough for game weekends. I know I'm a bit biased but it just makes more sense to me to eat with the outfit than deal with all the people. Looking forward to having a great turnout this weekend for the BBQ.

Getting back up
"Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith
"The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. That's the essence of it." - Vince Lombardi
These are two of my favorite quotes and very applicable to the Corps. The freshmen will fail, the upperclassmen will fail, I will fail, but the key is getting back up and continuing on. Being in Relentless Pursuit does not mean quitting if things get tough, it means trying that much harder when they do. We are all starting to hit the wall, but we will overcome and we will continue on.

The first smoking
Alright parents, the day of reckoning has arrived. We have been telling the freshmen that one day they will be held accountable for their actions/inactions. Tomorrow is that day. Your freshman will talk about getting "smoked" and how it is the worst thing ever, but I wanted to give yall a warning so you don't freak out from the horror stories I'm sure you will hear soon.
To begin with, we do not just smoke freshmen just for the sake of doing so. There is always a reason. Sometimes it is for not following directions, sometimes it is used to refocus the group - but there is always a reason. No matter how long your fish tells you it lasted, a smoking will not last longer than 15 min. It might seem like forever, but it is not. The only exercises authorized during a smoking are pushups, situps, and flutter kicks. Upperclassmen will do everything they ask the fish to do. If they tell them to do pushups, there will be 5 seniors, 5 juniors and at least 5 sophomores doing pushups with the freshmen.
Yes it is controlled, yes there will be yelling, yes there will be a lot of sweat, yes the fish will hate it, yes this is normal, yes it is approved, yes the adults know this is happening, yes I will be there, yes we will do it again. I hope that answers any questions you have or will have after tomorrow morning. Remember, it will be ok. I will not put your cadet into a compromising position. Will they be stretched, challenged and tried? Yes, more than ever before, but I will not set your fish up for failure.
