“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Team building was the main focus of day 4 of Pre-Orientation. After a few morning meetings, the Cadre suited up in boots and boiler suits for a few rounds of paintball. It was hot and humid, but that didn’t stop anyone from going all out on the battlefield. Squad Leaders, Senior Staff, and Academy staff fought it out for two hours before returning to campus for a cookout on the patio and more company bonding time. The evening was spent marching, perfecting cadences, and taking a few more sunset pictures. It was a break from the regiment for a day, and everyone is feeling recharged and ready for Sunday.
