Tiger Battalion would like to congratulate CDT Morrison for graduating from air assault school at Fort Benning, on June 12th!
On his biggest takeaways, Morrison says “At Air Assault School phases 1 and 2, I learned the ins and outs of the Army's rotary wing aircraft and their applications in combat, medical, and supply operations. Phase 3 was about rappelling, ending with a 90 ft rappel from a UH-60 Blackhawk. I appreciated phase 1 for the physical challenges and pressure and I loved learning about sling loads in phase 2, but rappelling in phase 3 really pushed me out of my comfort zone. It taught me to get past my fear by putting trust in myself, my equipment, my training, and my team.”
On lessons learned, Morrison says “At Air Assault, I also learned a lot from the example set by the commissioned and noncommissioned officers in my student class. They were always last to the buses, last in line for food, and shared lots of valuable knowledge and experience. Working with practiced leaders firsthand was a great reminder that being a leader isn't glamorous or comfortable. It's about sacrifice and looking out for others.”
Tiger Battalion is extremely proud of CDT Morrison and would like to say again, Congratulations CDT!
