February 2013

Throughout the month of February the E-3 Eagles have made
From The large strides in various areas in which we, as a company, feel are
vital to the growth, development and well being to us as a unit.
Largely we have focused on the sense of team bonding with many
1SG events to assist with cohesion of the unit. Events include company
dinners, outings, class events, physical competitions, and drives
help draw the company together to work together to reach a
common goal.
Developmental strides are constantly stressed from all pillars.
Militarily, we hold briefings that will assist with life both during
our time as cadets and post graduation. Physically, our physical
development team loves to emphasize the notion of never being
content and is constantly urging the "bettering" of oneself.
Academically, our academic staff keeps us well balanced and
reminds us that our studies in class are just as important as
developing our soldier skills. They keep us organized and easily
accessible to tutors, study sessions, and up to date on many large
graded events in the future.
As a whole, the members of E-3 continue to make strides in
bettering themselves , not only as individuals, but also in as a
cohesive, balanced family.

From The are buckling down, and the Eagles have some great things planned
for the rest of the semester. Firstie-underclass teams are being built,
so 2013 can pass on some of their (unremitting) knowledge to the
underclass, while simultaneously attending Tactical Officer talks
CO and briefings on their respective branches, preparing themselves to
be more effective Lieutenants.
Eagles are reaching their "summer beach bodies" by putting
time and effort in Arvin and morning workouts. E-3 Sandhurst is
continuing its quest to bring the championship back to the
Academy. In Company Athletics, our teams are off to a great start
and looking at winning a couple of Brigade Championships this
semester. Our Academics staff is hard at work as well, readying
Eagles for impending battles with the Dean through study sessions,
tutoring accreditation, and other events planned as well. As the
summer approaches as well, we all know that means military
schools, leadership details, CTLT, CLDT, and the best summer of
your life, Camp Buckner. Sequestration aside, Eagle Military and
Development staffs are preparing the Plebes, Yearlings, and Cows
to harden themselves militarily and become more ready for their
own graduation.
In all, we look forward to breaking out the short-sleeve As-
for-Class and the White over gray as well, so that E-3 may continue
to stiffen and straighten the Long Gray Line.
Where Eagles Dare!
