>>Basically I gave up on reading the posts on NTC because it seemed they
were
>>going nowhere and just cluttering the mail box. Then I realized I didn't
>>care because they wasted my time. I never said how I felt on the subject
>>because it didn't matter that much to me.
>> Everyone sees everything through their own perspective. Whether their
>>view is through rose colored glasses or through cracked jaded ones its all
>>the same thing. ALso if you go into it expecting it to be bad chances are
>>that it will end up being horrible. Personally I wanted to go and was
>afraid
>>at the time that I wouldn't be able to go because of changes at the
>national
>>level.
>> I was seventeen and only able to go because I had completed my GMA and
>>all the prerequisits. It was something that I had wanted to do for a
>while.
>>I had been through JLTC and AJLTC and done all sorts of training camps.
It
>>was time for me to take my training as a leader even though I had been in
>the
>>position already.
>> When we got there we were each put into patrols and told to finish,
>>basically being left alone. Each one of us it turns out woudl have some
>>problem, bad knees, a clostomy bag, and me being 17 made us into what we
>>would jokingly call a "gimp patrol." For some people that would make them
>>look down on themselves and think that there would be unable to actually
>>complete. For us that meant that we would press on and try harder. We
had
>>our hardships, but we worked as a team and were able to finish and
graduate
>>proudly after actually doing everything we were supposed to and very
little
>>of what we weren't supposed to do.
>> People see it as some sort of midievil torture device, but NTC is the
>>complete opposite. Its a learning experience. The leaders were off doing
>>there own thing while we took care of ourselves. We learned what it was
>>like (some of for the first time) to be a boy in a patrol. We learned how
>>NOT to treat the boys and how to be good commanders at the same time.
>> These are the same things I learned in JLTC and AJLTC. We learned so
>>many other things but the most important information we learned was that
>>being a good leader meant being there WITH and FOR the boys. RR is not a
>way
>>to make you look better by spending a weekend resting by the fire while
the
>>boys run through the woods. Its leadin them on a nature hike, teaching
>them
>>to fish, make spears, traps, and fishhooks, and basically being a roll
>model.
>>
>>I think the greatest lesson that NTC and every other camp I have gone to
is
>>very simple.
>>NEVER MAKE A BOY DO WHAT YOU WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO DO

>>Don't show can't believe it
>>Want to show that I'm good for something
>>I can't you won't let me
>>Are you running cause your words won't heal me
>>Because you can't accept me"
