and Thursdays, the cadets have class from 7 a.m. until 8 a.m. The classes cover things such
as first aid and military tactics.
Some cadets, like UIndy freshman exercise science major Sarah Rose, are just
learning the basics. Rose is currently taking classes like The Role of the Army and Army
Customs and Traditions. While Koenig and his fellow MS4s are briefing Lt. Col. LaBahn,
Cadet Private Rose is guiding her partner to safety in a trust and communication exercise.
While Roses partner made it through the room without setting off any of the
traps the team was one second over-time, and informed by the MS4 running the course
that they would need to repeat it. Rose and her partner, Private Cadet Jennifer Yi from
IUPUI, met through the program.
Rose, like Koenig, said she always had an interest in joining the Army.
When I was in school, all of my projects were about the military or history, she
said. I would love to be in Civil Affairs, which is the liaison between the Army and civilians
we are with.
Rose said she plans to be a career officer. Since she receives a scholarship for ROTC,
she already is contracted as an officer in the Army.
Koenig, who is contracted, said he will wait to see how much he likes his first term of
service before deciding whether or not he will continue a career with the Army.
Despite that, Koenig is excited to begin doing what the Army has trained him to do.
I mean, just the adventure of it being able to be a part of something greater than
myself, Koenig said. Being a part of ROTCs almost been like a four year internship,
because Ive just learned so much. Honestly, if you wanted to sum it up in a few words, I
wanted to do this because I want to live an uncommon life.
