 of army life. I have communications specialists. I have tankers. So I am here at the Academy one of the instructors. My primary function here is to facilitate the plan of instruction of the basic leaders course. So there's a lot that goes into the POI itself, but there's also a lot that goes into the soldiering that happens here. So as soon as students arrive we're very hands on with them. We check their gear that they're supposed to bring to ensure that they're able to meet the training needs and then after that we teach them or re-teach them I should say how to do formations back to the army standard. And then of course our role in the classrooms as facilitators. We're not so much teachers. We use a student-centered learning environment so the oneness of all the learning goes away from us the teachers and the responsibility of the actual learning falls on the students. So I think another thing that's really rewarding for me is I get to learn from my students. I'm a 13 Bravo by trade. However I have students from all different walks of army life. I have communications specialists. I have tankers. I have infantrymen. I have medics. I have you name it. They walk through the door and they teach me things about what they do every day and how things run in their world. And it's really cool to see how we all intertwine together. Some challenges to being an instructor sometimes you have to break down students barriers just to get them to open up to share their experiences and be willing to learn some of the unlearn some of the bad habits that they got from their units and to learn what the army is trying to teach them. Getting from that is I get to get a new perspective every cycle. All of these young leaders which is what they are they're not just specialists but they young leaders they bring something new a new perspective a new idea so every cycle brings something different that not only do the students learn but I can also learn as well. As much as we do our best to instill standards and discipline which never want to do is take personality away. So when you get to see so many people just learning how to do the thing right of being an on-commissioned officer they learn you know they see what's happening in their organization things they may agree with may not agree with and when you when you see them so passionate about going back and trying to implement the things they learned here it's really rewarding.
