To our friends and alumni:
Our cadets continue to perform in an excellent
manner in all they do, and I am proud and humbled to
lead them. This
year at the Leader Development and Assessment Course
(many of you remember it as Advanced Camp), we
exceeded the cadet command averages in every area of
training, leadership, fitness and tactics. This
outstanding performance was indicative of both the
quality of cadet we recruit and the rigorous,
focused training program developed and executed by
Senior Military Instructor, Sergeant Major Rick
Cottrell, and the entire cadre. As
our cadets commission to serve in the Active Army,
Army Reserves and National Guard, they defend
freedom in a dangerous and uncertain world. If
the Marshall Lieutenants are any indication of the
Junior Officer corps as a whole, rest assured that
the future of our military is in good hands.
This past month, I had the pleasure of having lunch with MG(R) James Baylor, one of our distinguished alumni. Not only has MG Baylor been a generous benefactor to our program, he is committed to assisting in building alumni relations and support. Jim, thank you again, for your continuing help. We always appreciate your feedback, suggestions and support. Please feel free to call me at (304) 696-2650 or email at
Thank you again for all you
do to represent us with pride and keep our
future strong. GO
HERD!
Respectfully,
Joseph Samek
Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army Commanding
