From the BC of 2016
“ Cadets, remember everything that got you to this point, and never forget those things in pursuing what’s next. Always seek to push yourself beyond what others expect of you and never view failure as a dead end. Take every challenge and obstacle with a creative outlook and motivated mind, and run towards the things that scare you most. Never let opportunity slip away or pass you by, but also never wait for it to simply arrive because it won’t. We don’t have a map to guide us in this next chapter of our lives, but we do have a blank sheet of paper to fill. And so through the worst times and the best, never stop working to find a way. To find YOUR way.”
