For one for all, as a lowly newbee to the commander, how do you expect to improve your respective unit?

umm, by having some of the people less than enthusiastic of being in the platoon quit

Now I know you're not serious, rotcboy. Not the best way to improve things around your unit! What does that tell the other cadets in your unit, not only that, it kills esprit de corps. What you have to do, in your own way, is find out what they're not getting out of the program and work on that through motivation. Try putting them in positions where they have to make decisions, or do a tasking to get them motivated. Make them feel like they're needed in your unit.

On a lighter note, I've recently done some improvement on the logistics side of things for passing out weekly routine orders. I have the Squadron Warrant Officer talk to the Training Officer and get the week's orders from him, and have him pass it down to the flight commanders, who call their flights. Once that's done, they pass it up the chain of comand and the SWO informs me that it is done. I've also organized an overnight 2-day Junior NCO training course, and some inter-unit activities.

As the Administration Officer I am like the Commanders Right hand this means I hold the same expectations as he does.

In the unit I would like to see a growth of new members exspecailly Cadet Sponser Members and Cadets.

Our unit has started to use the SIMS Database I have also created a Action Log using MS Access to help keep track of Squadron Actions

but the problem is, the only reason they're in the program is because if they're in jrotc they dont have to go to a different school, they just want to stay with their friends and have never worn their uniforms, they dont pt, they sit in class doing nothing except talking to eachother, chewing gum, and 1 of them is even a squad leader, who has marched in the wrong direction once and took the position away from a much better cadet

What kind of cadet program you in

Even in the Real Military, you will see that there are people there just to do their time and nothing else, more so for the benefits. You usually don't see many Marines like this, but still, just do what you can to help...

LOL my unit is dispanding in 2005 for a re-org
