“One piece of advice that I wish I had before becoming a cadet is to acknowledge the fact that knob year is supposed to be challenging and demanding. You are going to be put in challenging situations, get yelled at, have to push and brace as well as have long nights and early mornings. But these challenges that we have to overcome are just speed bumps in our journey to being built into leaders. Take everything day by day and before you know it, you will be getting ready to receive your band of gold.”
