: ItÂ’s been a long time since I stepped onto
: the flight line. I miss SLC. People donÂ’t
: understand that itÂ’s more than just a
: cadet course. ItÂ’s a philosophy for much
: more than just cadets. SLC, with all its
: traditions is cadet history. Being part of
: this history is indescribable. If you are
: an SLC grad reading this, youÂ’ve been
: asked (or will soon be asked) “why should
: I go?” Your answer has probably been the
: same as mine….”because it’s an incredible
: course.” Then you are asked “well, don’t
: you just do drill and take classes all
: day?” “Yes,” You say back. Then they say
: again “why should I go.” And you’re lost
: for words, because SLC isnÂ’t just a course
: that you can freely describe, itÂ’s a
: family. The traditions, the tears, the
: friendships are all just initiations into
: the SLC family. ItÂ’s completely beyond
: words. Someone reading this who is not an
: SLC grad is probably marveling at how
: sappy and emotional this sounds, but like
: I say to my cadets, do the course, then
: youÂ’ll entirely understand. Some people
: will never understand and decide to make
: life hard for SLC grads in cadets. F***
: them, anyone who decides to be that
: mindless is obviously ignorant. Treat
: these people with respect regardless of
: how they treat you. Be the bigger person
: in everything you do. You are an SLC grad,
: you ARE the bigger person. Is that
: pretentious, or is it reality? WSNBM, you
: know what it stands for. Remember it. Make
: it reality. I remember, and even if I end
: up somewhere better in the future, I will
: still remember it, even though itÂ’s been a
: very long time since I stepped onto the
: flight line.
