~CADET BISON 6 FAREWELL~
Bison Battalion, throughout my four years in this program, I must really say that you have helped me grow. With your help, I have moved from being that unruly girl from Detroit to a professional Army officer; furthermore, four other young female officers have successfully accompanied me on this transition. I hope the Army is prepared! Whether doing the right thing or making mistakes, this program has truly been a learning experience that I can say rivals no other. Thank you for making my college experience unique, challenging, and meaningful. Now, as I pass the reins of leadership on to the next unsuspecting Cadet, take everything that you have learned and move FORWARD! Learn from our mistakes and emulate our successes and if there comes a time when you need reassurance, know that there is at least one newly commissioned officer who has your back! Once a Bison, always a Bison! Leadership and Pride!
