Cadets hurdle over obstacles on the confidence course

Fall FTX

Cadet Eric Waxman

On a weekend when most of Boston area college student were at parties or bars watching the Red Sox play in the ALCS, the Cadets of Boston College and Northeastern University came together to participate in Liberty Battalion’s Fall Field Training Exercise (FTX). The annual training event began on

Friday October 19, with buses departing from Northeastern’s campus and then stopping by Boston College BC Cadets for the long ride to Camp Edwards.

For MS I’s and II’s, the main training events were the Confidence Continued on page 5

It has been another fast-paced Fall Semester for the Liberty Battalion, with many new faces. The class of 2008 returned to school early from LDAC as well as military training and internships all over the world, to plan the Fall training schedule and assume the senior leadership positions as the new MS4s in the battalion.

While much of the cadre was

deployed to LDAC as TACs, CPT Washington and his intrepid “ROO Team” had a busy summer of campus orientations, information briefings and events. As a result, we began the year with nearly 50 new freshmen! This influx has challenged leaders at every level to display the attributes, develop the skills, and take the actions needed to expand the Liberty Battalion to a size well over 100 Cadets. Already this Fall, I have seen a number of Cadets step up to that challenge – in particular the MS IIs – Great job!

Both companies held their Fall labs at Camp Curtis Guild, with many of our new Cadet’s Families coming by for the BBQ dinners and “welcome to ROTC” presentations. MS III Cadets were soon in the field again on WFX #1 - beginning to hone their land navigation skills for next summer’s LDAC challenge. In October, we had a great Fall FTX at Camp Edwards, culminating in a trip to the airfield for a flight on a UH-60 Blackhawk. Before the semester is out, Cadets at all MS levels will take the Army Physical Fitness Test for record, while the seniors will receive and “pin” their active duty, Army Reserve or National Guard branches in preparation for commissioning next year.

Many of our Cadets continue to demonstrate Leadership Excellence through their participation in ROTC, college academics, athletics or campus service. I don’t have the space to mention all of their accomplishments by name, so have a look at the articles in this edition of the Lance and you’ll probably find a story about someone you know who has set the example and led the way.

Boston College Remembers Our Veterans

Cadet Alex Guittard & Cadet Rafael Leonardo

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, members of the Boston College community and Army ROTC gathered in the Irish Room to remember the Heightsmen that have given their lives in the service of our nation.

The morning began with a Mass in

honor of the fallen, presided over by Fr. William McInnes, S.J., Fr. Bob Araujo, S.J. and Deacon John St. George, all veterans themselves. The service was punctuated by scripture reading by ROTC Cadets and a moving homily by Fr. McInnes.

Following the Mass, Cadet First

Sergeant Matthew Cisto emceed the ceremony commemorating the Boston College alums who have served in the military. The names of the fallen were read aloud and a candle was lit for each war. Several active and retired service members were in attendance, including Gen. Richard Neal (Ret.), an alumni of the Liberty Battalion, Class of 1965, who gave a brief address to the audience. The ceremony concluded with a singing of the national anthem, led by the acapella group, The Heightsmen.

The tradition began seven years ago

and became especially popular after September 11th when a flag was raised at O’Neill Plaza. Fr. McInnes and Captain Brett Tashiro, the Company Advisor of BC Army ROTC, teamed up to put the Mass and ceremony together and it has been celebrated annually ever since.

High Scoring PT

Cadet Kelly Sullivan

During this year’s 1st Brigade Ranger Challenge Team Competition, Liberty Battalion MS II Glory Williamson-O’Neil took home a prize for achieving the top physical fitness score. O’Neil scored a 390 on the extended scale; an accomplishment, she said, made possible only through hard work.

“PT is definitely not easy for me,”

O’Neil said. “I worked out with the team six days a week and whenever else I had time. I did sports in high school and that helped, but I had to really work to get to where I’m happy.”

O’Neil said she joined the Ranger

Challenge team not only to better prepare herself for LDAC, which she will attend in a couple of years, but mostly for fun. During the competition, O’Neil participated with her fellow team members from Liberty Battalion over a long weekend, October 12th -14th.

The events were the obstacle

course, leader’s reaction course, day and night land navigation, basic rifle marksmanship, a mystery event, weapons assembly and disassembly and, of course, the Army physical fitness test. And yet even though O’Neil scored high on her PT test, she said the accomplishment that she was most proud of during competition was getting to be a member of the team.

“Honestly my favorite part about the whole experience was getting to know people I hadn’t gotten to know in the past,” she said. “Our team is the best, and they are some of the best people. It was really just a lot of fun.”

A trophy was given to O’Neil during

the award ceremony that was held on the Sunday following the last event. She received this award in front of all the participating schools’ Cadets, cadre and her own team. O’Neil is humble about her top score on the PT test, but she said it was great to be recognized by the cadre whom she respects. In fact O’Neil was so shocked, humbled and happy to hear that she had scored such the high mark for her teammates, that she went blank prior to going up in front of the formation to claim her award.

“I was so nervous I didn’t listen to

what they said.” O’Neil said. “Suddenly everyone was telling me to go up in front of formation. When I got there, I didn’t know what to do. I asked myself should I salute, or shake the colonel’s hand or salute again. It was such a blur.”

O’Neil loved the participating in the

Ranger Challenge competition, and can’t wait for next year to do it all over again. But this time, she said she wants to score a 450.

SFC McGurk explains the importance of

safety to MS III cadets at the FLRC

Course, rappel tower, and the Engagement Skills Trainer (EST), combat simulator for rifle marksmanship.

On the Confidence Course, Cadets worked together to negotiate obstacles. Here we were tested on our physical ability and motivation as we helped each other to get over each obstacle. Next we conquered our fear of heights when we bounded off of a 45-foot repel tower. Finally, the EST course gave us a chance to improve our marksmanship skills without the comfort of stationary paper targets. One high-speed Cadet fired 500 rounds and received one kill in his lane. I’d follow that man into war any day.

For the MS III’s, this weekend was

about preparing for LDAC. These Cadets conducted a written land navigation test, orienteered a night land navigation test, conducted STX lanes, slept in a patrol base,

and maneuvered teams through the Field Leaders Reaction Course (FLRC). (MS Is and IIs also took part in the night land navigation and participated on the teams of the FLRC).

Finally, the FTX ended on an exhilarating note when we all got the opportunity to ride in Blackhawk helicopters. Soldiers from the Massachusetts Army National Guard took Cadets on what is known as a “map of the world” ride.

Sunday evening we returned back to

our campuses. As we Liberty Battalion Cadets returned home, fellow college students were beginning their night of partying or going to a bar to watch the Red Sox win the ALCS.

It was at this point we realized that

we had just taken part in a weekend of great experiences that our peers could never dream of having.

FTX continued from front


Cadet William Shirer This summer before going to

LDAC, (Leadership Development and Assessment Course) I was given the opportunity to spend three weeks in Brazil with other students in ROTC and at West Point on an Army-sponsored internship.

For the first part of the trip, I stayed

in Salvador with a host family for 2 weeks. These people were able to provide me with profound insight into the Brazilian concept of the nature of Family. They made me aware of how this term is far more permeating and enduring than in the United States.

The most prominent example of this

concept occurred during my first day in Salvador, when I participated in the “small Family gathering” that happens every Sunday with my host family. Leaving my room after having taken a shower and changing clothes, I was surprised to find the living room full of at least 20 people laughing, hugging, and kissing, as would be seen during only the most festive occasions in the United States. The Family stayed late into the night and enjoyed a feast, played games, and watched television together, all the while celebrating each other’s presence as if the very fact that everyone was still alive was worth partying over.

This experience and other similar

examples throughout my time in Salvador redefined my understanding of Family and how strong its bonds can be, and instilled within me an appreciation for the Brazilians’ sense of community.

Throughout my stay in Salvador, I

was enrolled in Dialogo – a school at which I took classes in Portuguese and also

participated in programs designed to immerse individuals within the culture (such as culinary and martial arts classes). When I was not with my host Family or in school, I spent most of my free time touring the city and further immersing myself within the culture. Some places I visited include historic churches for which the city is known, a number of local beaches, historic and contemporary shopping centers, as well as local theaters whose shows celebrated the Brazilian culture.

This trip has allowed me to participate in and better understand the Brazilian culture in ways that go far beyond the experiences available to the normal tourist.

All in all, this cultural immersion

trip has redefined my understanding of 'normalcy' while simultaneously highlighting fundamental aspects of humanity that transcend cultural boundaries, and these lessons have helped me better appreciate diversity in life and how one should approach it.

Coming back from Brazil, I can

better appreciate my life in the United States, and in a way that does not simply ignore the other ways of life available to me in this world.

Along with learning what it means

to be a “Brazilian,” I have gained a deeper sense of what it means to be an “American,” and for this I am most thankful. I came back from Brazil a new person - a better person in many ways - and I strongly feel that this trip will help me become a more capable officer who better represents the US Army when interacting with individuals from other cultures.

Brazil Trip


In my early life I never thought I would be a part of anything like ROTC, let alone attend any event like the Leadership Development and Assessment Course (LDAC).

I’ll paint a picture of my normal high school self in a few words. I went to a boarding prep school where I attended classes six days a week, I took classical piano lessons every week, and I was captain of the dance team. Sure I played sports, but I played soccer, women’s lacrosse, golf, and tennis.

To this day, I’m not overly

intimidating at the height of five feet two inches.

Flash forward to July 1, 2007 where

I am still attempting to pack my duffle bag for LDAC and failing miserably. With

every object that I tried to stuff in I was becoming more and more dejected. I had been avoiding the thought of LDAC for three years, and now I was expected to fly out to Fort Lewis tomorrow to complete the thirty-three day camp.

Boston College ROTC had prepared me to the best of my abilities. As I was packing I knew I was an intelligent Cadet. “Fake it till you make it” was the motto I kept telling myself. Sure, I wasn’t the most “Hooah” Cadet, but I felt that being a smart young female would be to my advantage when I became overwhelmed at LDAC.

The plane ride was uneventful. It was long and tedious. I religiously went over written land navigation tests. I talked to the Cadet from the Citadel who was seated next to me. The homesickness was already setting in.

The first surprise was when we landed in Seattle. Everyone who greeted me was exceptionally nice. Wait?

LDAC Contined

Wasn’t this supposed to be a military camp?

One of the administrative ladies

looked at my over- packed duffle bag, and gave me a smile. “Honey, I admire you. I don’t know how you do it,” she stated as I lifted up the bag that weighed almost as much as I did. Not only that, but I got smiles and greetings from every TAC who was at the airport. I started feeling at ease, still homesick, but more at ease.

I wish I could say that camp was all smiles and giggles, but honestly it was one of the hardest tasks I’ve had to complete in the ROTC program. It was hard mentality and physically. I relied on all aspects of my ROTC classes, and on every ounce of physical strength I could muster, despite being in the best shape of my whole life.

Fortunately I had cadre members and fellow Cadets who made it plausible for me not only complete it, but also excel at camp. The friends you make at camp really are forever.

The bonds of friendship I created

with the fellow Cadets made camp not only bearable, but incredibly fun.

It wasn’t because everyone in my platoon was exactly like me. On the contrary, I don’t think there was anyone that was close to my personality. My battle buddy, a prime example, was giggly and girly when it came to army tasks, while I was focused and wouldn’t accept less than my best. When it came to rules, she kept trying to tell me that some rules were meant to be broken. She helped me relax at camp, to fully enjoy the experience without taking myself too seriously.

The other things I enjoyed were

innumerable. The incredibly realistic STX lanes allowed me to see my full potential as a soldier. Throwing live grenades was a humbling experience. The feeling of the explosion that reverberates deep inside of you steals your breath away. Completing the water confidence course and the CWST, when I hate water, was rewarding. Every evaluation I received at camp reassured me that I was going to be a good leader in the U.S. Army.


LDAC Lessons Learned

“Be flexible at LDAC and just roll with the punches. Relax and have fun. As you will see when you get out there, Northeastern's ROTC program sets you up for success at Fort Lewis. In processing will seem to drag on for days, but once you get rolling, the time flies and it’s really a blast.”

Frank Moy

“LDAC is all about the attitude you have. Take it serious but not too seriously and learn as much as you can from the people who evaluate you, your peers, and the training. If one day doesn't go well that's fine don't let it get to you. Remember that ROTC is about training you to become a good leader. You will make mistakes but it is how you deal with them that count in the end.”

Timothy Hopper “If you get discouraged, charlie mike and

overachieve on your next obstacle. Don't let one negative ruin your experience. Get fired up and use it as motivation to prove to yourself that you can get it done.”

A Company Fall Lab Cadet Pamela Carvalho

The LANCE – Fall 2007 Page 11

The Northeastern University (A Co) fall Leadership Lab was the first time for many cadets to experience what ROTC is all about, myself included. It was a chance to learn from our senior Cadets and allow them to practice leadership and mentoring skills by instructing classroom exercises and leading land navigation groups for the first year Cadets.

Also, they were given the

opportunity to meet with parents of Cadets and explain to them exactly what ROTC is and what it will do for their children. Each person was able to walk away from the weekend having learned and experienced something new, whether it was how to carry your battle buddy off the field or how to teach an MSLI how to plot an azimuth.

Throughout the weekend we sat through classes led by fellow Cadets. The classes included many important topics used throughout the military; such as First Aid, hygiene in the field, hand signals, nine line med-evac, squad movement, etc. Our classes were held outside which made it possible to not only hear about a technique but to also move around and practice what had just been learned. This was especially useful for squad movement, low and high crawls, buddy rush, and firearm awareness.

One of the biggest goals of the weekend was getting everyone through land navigation successfully. For the first year Cadets, we had never had any experience with land navigation, except for the former boy scouts in a few instances. Many had never even had a class on terrain or map reading skills.

After sitting through a class on the subject and a barbeque, we headed over to our first land navigation course, at night. We started with a briefing on our terrain model by the MSIV Cadets and were put into groups based on our MS year. The MSI and II’s were put into groups of four with a senior Cadet or cadre member. The Cadets who had actually participated in a land navigation course before were able to practice their skills by not only participating but by helping new Cadets with the guidance of the cadre.

The whole weekend was a great opportunity to learn through experience and teaching, which is in my opinion the best way to learn. Many of us tripped and stumbled through classroom exercises or got a little lost during land navigation; but these mistakes were what helped us learn and improve during the weekend and as an ROTC Cadet.

The Spring semester will be an exciting one for the 134 Cadets of the Liberty Battalion!

The Liberty Battalion's Army ROTC

Military Ball 2008 will take place on 23 February at the Tremont Marriott in Boston. There, Cadets are introduced to a new side of the Army, enjoying great food, presentations, and dancing. While this is a mandatory training event for contracted Cadets, all Cadets are encouraged to attend,

and bring a guest. The Battalion will end the semester

with its annual award ceremony, giving out prizes, monetary awards, scholarships, ribbons and certificates to Cadets who have excelled throughout the year in leadership, academics and athletics.

Cadets are wished a wonderful vacation, and can look forward to learning great things with Liberty Battalion.

S-2

In the spring, the battalion will have its Field Training Exercise (FTX) and during that event, we will have a few Squad Tactical Exercise (STX) events. It is my job, to study the types of combat faced in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the enemy and use this information to develop lanes that will mirror a real life set of circumstances. Though being the S-2 has increased my workload by a noticeable amount, I think the benefits outweigh the negatives tenfold. I have already made marked improvements in my ability to give presentations. On top of that, I have learned more about time management, as I have a position of responsibility all the time, not just during normal rotations. Finally, I have gotten an early look into the functioning of a battalion and this will hopefully help me in my MS4 year.

Even though we are not in theater, the need for information is still present. As the S-2 in the ROTC, my first job is to prepare briefings on events overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan to keep the battalion apprised of what exactly is happening in the war.

In early September, I was asked if I would be interested in filling the Battalion S-2 slot as an MSIII. Though I did not have any idea what an S-2 did, I said yes. Little did I know that I would soon be hitting the ground running.

I soon found out that the battalion S-2 is the intelligence officer. In a theater of operations it would entail finding out information about the enemy, weather, and conditions that might affect operations, and any risks to the battalion as a whole.

The LANCE – Fall 2007 B Co Leadership Lab

Cadet Alex Guittard

During the weekend of 30AUG2007 and 02SEP2007, 12 new MS I Cadets got their first experience of Army life during the (B Co) Fall Leadership Lab. Although the labs were designed to give leadership experience to the older Cadets, the MS I’s still gained much from the experience in terms of insight and training.

Beginning with a focus on the

traditions and discipline of the Army further motivated us and gave us a sense of inclusion. Being the rookies, it was easy to feel like things were going over our heads. The jargon, the marching, and the general military demeanor were foreign to many of us, so incorporating us right away gave us instant inclusion.

We also field-stripped and reassembled an M16, as well as learned the basic principles of marksmanship. While we are still a while from going to the range, and a very long while from firing a weapon in combat, the lesson was still very meaningful. It stressed that we were now part of the military. Just like the marching, it gave us a sense of inclusion, which was extremely motivating. Many of us tried our first MRE that weekend. Personally, I liked my meals, but I know the same cannot be said of all of my fellow Cadets. The older Cadets were helpful in telling us what meals to avoid. While it wasn’t a four star meal, it was definitely better than nothing, and it gave us the energy to go through the rest of the day strong.

Land navigation was not only one of the most challenging things we learned, it also provided the greatest opportunity for personal growth. Groups of highly motivated three-man teams, armed with nothing more than a compass and a map, spread out through the woods to look for a flag roughly the size of a baseball glove. The exercise not only introduced a fundamental military skill, it also developed the MS I’s military confidence and allowed us to work in teams for the first time.

The rubber duck and paintball lanes were an excellent culmination to the leadership lab. Not only did it focus on the primary mission of the Army: to engage the enemy in armed combat, it allowed us to combine all of the skills we had learned over the weekend.

As the MS I’s counted pace along the azimuth, conducted EPW checks, and laid down covering fire, the M SIII’s practiced their leadership of the element. Not only did the exercise give us the opportunity to interact with our MS III’s in a positive way, but it also was extremely motivating and downright fun.

While the Leadership Lab may have been specifically designed to benefit the older Cadets in practicing their command and control, the MS I’s clearly were the real winners.

We got a little taste of the next 8+ years of our life and most of us loved it.


SMI Corner

MSG Robin Bolmer

I would like to start out by commending every member of the Battalion on an outstanding fall semester. Everyone in the Battalion constantly displayed great motivation and determination during the accomplishment of every assigned task.

I would like to take this opportunity

to point out just a few of the people who were responsible for our successful fall.

Mr. Darrel Watts and Mrs. Sheila Hutchins did a great job of in processing nearly 50 new Cadets and at the same time managing the existing files of nearly 80 Cadets. Their ability to quickly and efficiently process all the required enrollment paperwork enabled the Battalion to contract nearly 30 Cadets in the fall semester alone. The incoming class has not only been large in numbers, it has also provided us with some outstanding future leaders. One third of the Ranger Challenge Team consisted of members from our freshmen class. There were also seven MSI Cadets who were awarded the Army Physical Fitness Badge for their outstanding performance on the Army Physical Fitness

Test. It is great to see such dedication early on in a cadet’s career.

With the influx of personnel also comes an increased level of responsibility; so I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention how well our MSII class performed while serving in leadership positions during this semester.

Our MSIII class looks to be one of the strongest that we have had in some time. This is not only a credit to them, but to the very competent MSIV class that has been working with them every step of the way.

With all of these great accomplishments comes increased expectations from leaders at all levels. I challenge each and every member of the Battalion to continue our hard work and strive for excellence in every task which we are assigned.

The Cadre and Staff of the Liberty

Battalion know how challenging life as a Cadet can be, and are dedicated to making the experience as rewarding as possible. Keep up the great work. I look forward to an even more rewarding spring.


--Band of Brothers, by Stephen Ambrose

This summer was the fulfillment of a childhood fantasy. I grew up reading a myriad of historical nonfiction, but found myself especially intrigued by the World War II era. The pivotal role of paratroopers in the European theater is undeniable, and their place in history memorable. So when MSG Wentworth asked if I would be interested in attending Airborne School this summer, I couldn’t have been more excited to take the plunge.

I ran and stayed fit throughout June in preparation, and with thoughts of the historic Easy Company, 101st Airborne, and Dick Winters compelling me; I boarded my flight to Fort Benning, Georgia.

Airborne School consists of three separate training weeks. First, “Ground Week” teaches a jumper the commands in the air, techniques for safely exiting the aircraft, and most importantly the proper method of conducting a PLF or “Parachute Landing Fall.”

Second is “Tower Week,” and as I marched into our new training area I understood its title. Surrounded by small zip-line towers, I couldn’t help but notice the three looming 250-foot towers casting long shadows over an apparatus we would soon learn to call the “Swing-Landing Trainer.”

First I climbed the “short” 34-foot tower with full combat equipment (Medium ALICE packs and M19 weapons case) and learned how to lower the gear before landing. Next, I found myself swinging from a thirteen-foot platform getting a feel for “slipping,” or the action taken to steer the parachute during descent.

Finally before I knew it, I was being slowly lifted high above Ft. Benning gazing up at the open parachute above me and realizing that unlike the old rides at Coney Island, I actually would be falling free of the tower.

The third and final week of Airborne School is “Jump Week.” After spending two full weeks of repeating the same motions in practice, my first jump didn’t initially seem unique. We donned our harnesses and parachutes and boarded the C-130 waiting on the tarmac. Sitting shoulder to shoulder we exchanged glances, faces fairly calm, and little was said. The plane’s four Turbo-props throttled up and soon we approached “Fryar” drop-zone.

Continued on next page

I found this week to be aptly named and during it’s course developed a strong relationship with the ground. Each morning we filed into a pea-gravel pit and practiced falling, first from a standing position, then from a three-foot wall, eventually graduating to a “Lateral Drift Apparatus:” a zip-line that delivers you to the ground at speed.

Second is “Tower Week,” and as I marched into our new training area I

2LT “Buck” Compton: “Don’t do anything stupid.” CPL Alex Penkala: Don't do anything stupid? Who the hell is he talking to: a bunch of morons who volunteered to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

the soldier in front of me. The light turned green and we were moving, one second between jumpers. I turned to face the door and jumped as hard as I could—kicking my leg high to maximize my distance from the aircraft.

I thought I would feel a falling sensation, my stomach in my throat like on a roller coaster, but all I remember is the wind.

The aircraft was already traveling at 170mph, and then I jumped out behind a turbo-prop. I was traveling sideways, counting the seconds until my chute deployed, and then with a sudden jerk I was floating. Peacefully oscillating over an open field, I looked around to see my fellow jumpers falling together towards the drop zone.

I pulled a slip and tried not to look at the ground that was fast approaching. Landing softly on the tilled earth I watched the rest of my “chalk” land around me. We all yelled with excitement and exchanged congratulations as we packed our chutes and walked towards the busses, to do it all over again—one jump closer to Airborne.

The Jump Master called out “Ten Minutes!” and we all echoed it back, as rehearsed, still unappreciative of our approaching endeavor.

And then they opened the doors.

The pressure changed slightly and a rush of air and noise entered the aircraft. The engines sit about 15 feet from the door and the pilots were holding nothing back. The expressions around me changed, and I will never forget the Specialist sitting across from me, looking right at me and his look of sudden appreciation.

This time it was for real. The commands kept coming, with the Jumpmaster yelling “Hook up!” I stood up and affixed my static line (the cord that deploys my parachute) to the appropriate cable and tried to stabilize myself within the bouncing fuselage.

We conducted the safety checks and finally I heard the call, “One Minute!” and made one final glance back at the Specialist who would be jumping on the next pass. “Thirty Seconds – Standby!” The first jumper turned and faced the door and I checked my spacing (one arms-length) with
