Robin Sage? Never heard of it before, just looked it up on the internet, sounds kind of interesting. It seems like even though it is only for 11 and 18 series MOSs there are quite a few females who attend it. Looks like it would be a blast.

Sounds like you got yourself a pretty busy summer here, what with RSIP and BAC.

Yeah, it will be fun though. I am completley stoked about the Robin Sage thing, we get a chance to learn tactics and stuff from Special Forces trainees. They don't slot you guys any for Robin Sage? Did you guys get any Air Assault School slots? Did anyone for that matter?

I believe all cadets lost their Air Assault slots because the Army needed that space for Soldiers headed to the war. We did get one CDQC slot, I believe three BAC slots, and I want to say four CTLT slots, and we have one cadet acting as a cadet instructor at CDQC (lot of scuba guys around here). Pretty decent for a class group of 15 (we already have one Air Assault qualled, three Airborne qualled, and one SCUBA qualled, too).
But no, I'd never even heard of RSIP before. Last year we had one cadet go to Westpoint's summer training and one go to England to train with their MPs though, so we do get some snazzy stuff.

That is awesome, we don't get many slots here. All we were originally slotted was one Airborne, Two Robin Sage and a couple CTLT slots. My airborne slot came up on the last day of school and I just jumped on it. We don't get any scuba slots, naturally. I would be the first to be qualified in my class on anything, pending my graduation. Hopefully you will get another slot after LDAC, for BAC. What other stuff do you participate in for ROTC? (Drill, Ranger Challenge, Army Ten)

I'm CIC of our Color Guard and an alternate for the Ranger Challenge team (I don't run so quick, pushing it with a 13 minute two-mile while everyone who's actually on the team is within spitting distance of 12 or below ).
I'm S4 though and they have me acting as an instructor for combat first aid, land nav, marksmanship, and rappelling, so I keep pretty daggone busy around here.

Sounds like you got pretty lucky there with the slots, if you all don't get many. And thank you for the well-wishes there, I'm also on the alternate list for CTLT (got put on that after I originally lost my BAC slot as a consolation prize ), so hopefully I'll be doing something interesting this summer.

Yes, the cadets play the "G's." (guerrillas) during Robin Sage, along with various other support soldiers from around the Army. It is a great opportunity for them, and tends to make things more realistic for the SF students as they have to work with and train a group that doesn't know much.

BfieldsUSD, listen to G chief and the team sergeant cadre and you will have a very enjoyable time, they tend to enjoy mixing up the roles they want you to play to keep the SF students on their feet.

There was a Mail Call on this and it was pretty interesting. You can pretty much make any decision you want to put the students under more stress and create more problems to see how they react. On the show they even showed some footage of how a tribal leader killed his daughter because she was brainwashed by the enemy

Sounds like I am in for a pretty interesting time at RS then, I am really looking forward to the training experience. Thanks for the advice, I don't like being difficult but if they make me play that part I guess I will have to do it.

Are you with the 3 june - 25 june slot at BAC? I leave wednesday. I'm a cadet down at East Carolina University, in NC.

Yeah, that would be it. I have to leave on Tuesday b/c of the time it takes to fly there for me and the reporting time. Hopefully I will see you down there!!
