MG Rapp's Founder's Day Speech to the Corps, 2011.


Stumbled across this on YouTube. Truly inspiring.

MG Rapp was Comm for only a year but a great one while there, in this parent's personal opinion.

Ditto.

Have not had the opportunity to hear much from BG Martin, the current Comm.

Definitely a different leadership style now in place.

I was always impressed with BG Rapp's personal involvement with the cadets; whether it be running with them, stopping them while walking to chat, acknowledging accomplishments across a wide spectrum, and just his seeming positive presence. We have not had as much exposure to the new leadership and so can't judge, but he seems like an enthusiastic speaker and a nice man.
