The Task at Hand (POTD)

Picture of the day

MIDN McNealy Midshipman 2/c Deric McNealy listening to the Marine platoon chain of command pass word at the end of physical training (PT).


As a third year Marine Option student in NROTC, McNealy is only a few weeks away from going to Marine Corps Officer Candidate School (OCS). There he will be screened, trained, and evaluated for his ability to lead as a Marine officer.

McNealy is very focused at the task at hand, successfully completing OCS. In many ways, OCS is like a co-op, internship, job interview, and on the job training all at the same time.

Today I…
  • Participated in one of last PT sessions of the school year.



    • Marine options still have a few military evolutions left like our physical fitness test (PFT) on Friday, our SULE I evolution on Saturday, and our 9-mile hike on Monday.
  • Went to the GT residence life staff yearly banquet.



    • This banquet recognizes all the hard work of both the student staff (Peer Leaders, Resident Assistants) and the professional staff (Hall Directors, Area Managers, etc)
    • Each staff consists of 12 to 20 PLs/RAs and 1 HD. During one of our recent weekly staff meetings we provided our input for Student Staff Member of the year. Hefty-Fit ‘n’ Strong’s (my area) chose Eli Beeker as SSM of the year.
