| LTC Bobbie L. Williams passes the traditional staff of the new Cadet BN Commander |
| It brings me great honor to serve as your Battalion Commander for the 2008-2009 academic school year. Having graduated from Warrior Forge, less than two weeks ago, I have grown to love and appreciate the Army and this program more and more. I am grateful for the opportunity to impart upon the Battalion, particularly the MS III class, the knowledge that my fellow MS IVs and I have acquired while at LDAC. I simply ask that you all prepare for this journey as my staff and I take the Bison Battalion to an entirely different level. My goal for this academic school year is to have an average Battalion GPA of 3.0 or higher. Although we are ROTC Cadets, being a student is the number priority for success at Howard University, as well as in this program. Remember 40% of your Order of Merit Score is academics. Secondly, I want an average APFT score of 240 or better. Keep in mind that an officer should be able to lead physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Third, I would love to see you all be recognized for your greatness. Bottom line, I know each and everyone of you have talents to bring to the table, such as: the Rocks 5 Miler and Ranger Challenge, just to name a few…I think this is the year, that we show not only the Eastern Region, but the entire nation what Bison are made of. Lastly, my goal is for each and every one of you to enjoy yourselves and the program. Although we’re about handling business, the Battalion is a close-knit family and you all are our newest addition. So on behalf of the staff, I welcome you! Although this may seem like a lot to ask for, keep in mind that “to whom much is given, much will be required!” I promise each and every one of you, that you will see the fruits of your labor as you seek to meet my aspirations. Lastly, I can rest assure that the legacy of the Howard University Bison will be restored as you all and my staff work together to reach these common goals. Again, I am honored to be your Battalion Commander and look forward to a successful, rewarding and memorable school year. BISON lead the Way! ~LEADERSHIP AND PRIDE! C/LTC George Johnson III |
