Delta Platoon
“We are taught to think quickly. At First RT was extremely stressful, but now Delta is prepared and on our toes for what’s next.” Delta Platoon’s Recruit Gibson describes his experience and his platoon as hardworking, dedicated, motivated, and possessing rigorous teamwork. PO1 Torres, Delta’s Platoon Commander, adds on, “ These recruits are locked in and doing well. I’m proud of them because they’ve been improving consistently these early days. However, one thing that is currently holding them back is their uniforms and tidiness. Hoo-yah Delta!” Despite these trials and tribulations, such as marching and the notorious PRT, Delta’s recruits are staying motivated, constantly improving, and most importantly together. There are far more challenges that are awaiting in this journey, but with Delta Platoon’s teamwork, any challenge can be conquered.
