But even if all that happens certainly the MSIII will
always say I am nervous.
LDAC besides putting all the skills that you learned in
every weekend LAB, MSIII class and extra studying with
your battle buddies to the test, you will learn more than what
you knew.
One thing that was said is you are never ready for
what will come but it all depends on how you take it and
what you make of it.
At LDAC you will learn about helping others, having a
new family and enjoying the little things in life.
You don’t have to worry about anything once you get
to LDAC, do things right, talk with other cadets and have
your packing list squared away the rest will be too easy.

From being just a squad to a being a platoon on a recon
mission.
This pass January 31st Taino-Warriors Battalion conducted training for this year MS3's that
are preparing them selves for LDAC 2014 with multiple classes that relates to the Patrolling phase
of LDAC, such as call for fire and patrolling movement technics.
Most cadets were unaware of the procedure that pertains to call for fire in a patrols mission
and were enthusiastic about learning how to go through the steps. Mr. Rivera a former 1st Sgt with
20 plus years of military experience and Sgt. Zambrano from a Field Artillery background gave the
class with great detail and proficiency.
The experience of the cadre that gave these classes came to be very efficient to the
development and training, not only on their field of expertise but also to leadership, abiding in the
example of leading.
From Being a Squad to a Platoon.
Cadets learning about Call for Fire step by step with Mr.
