Do you want to be a PMS?

Sir,

Sounds like you actually made a positive impact on your cadets. I wish I could say the same about mine. The only one that actually cared about helping me progress was the individual that got promoted into Command. The other two PMSs were lacking in leadership development and neglected to assist cadets not wanting to enter combat arms units.

CPT (Join to see) - I took my ROTC assignment as serious as any other assignment and treated my cadets like I would have treated my soldiers (my wife says, like my kids). I took a personal interest in their development and followed their careers after graduation. I taught them things that were outside the approved Cadet Command POI. For example, I purchased all MS III/IV cadets a copy of "The Army Officers Guide" and held voluntary after-hours classes, using it as the textbook, after quickly realizing that cadets were being commissioned without basic information about being an officer in the Army (customs and traditions, wear of the uniform, Army posts and assignments, pay and allowances, PCS moves and entitlements, etc., etc.). Nearly 100% of the cadets (and many of the spouses and fiancés) attended.
