On July 14, 2001 twenty-three
Cadet Officers traveled to the Naval Air Station Lemoore, just outside of
Fresno, California to attend Cadet Officers Basic Course, an
accredited Pacific Region Cadet Leadership School.
13 Cadet Officers from
California, 3 from Washington, 2 from Oregon, and 1 from
Nevada, Alaska, Hawaii, Texas and Florida. Each Cadet Officer
was searching for the answer on "How to become a better
leader?"
After 8 days of intensive
training involving 30.5 hours of leadership training,
22.5 hours of writing and verbal skills training, 13.5 hours of
group discussions of character development and 6 written
assignments, 8 daily summaries, 2 impromptu speeches and 1
instructional class they, in their own unique way learned lifelong
lessons from "So What", "Marbles", "Going out for coffee" and
"everyone is Pink on the inside".

Memorable Quotes from 2001
"Never have I learned so much, that was so meaningful, in so
little time."
- C/1Lt Sara Barnett, North Pole, AK
COBC is the best thing that you can ever do. It sets you up
to succeed not only in CAP, but also in life. There are so
many things that you learn here that you can't get anywhere else.
I think that I made the best decision of my life to come here"
- C/2Lt Patrick Mayo, Las Vegas NV
"COBC taught me that true fortune is not money or fame; rather it
is the opportunity to challenge your demons, face prejudices and
build your character, in midst of your fellow officers"
- C/Capt David Mendes, Santa Maria |
"It is not weather you win or lose, but what you learned for the
next time"
- C/2Lt William Lee, Mountlake Terrace, WA
"The objective is not to accomplish anything physical, the
objective is to accomplish something mental"
- C/2Lt Sean Halbert, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
"Thank-you for giving me a school that will benefit me forever.
P.S. This is not fluff".
- C/2Lt Rocky Rocco, Santa Maria, CA
"I have never worked so hard to get a piece of paper"
- C/2Lt Kalanakila Hoover, Waikoloa, HI
"Similarities of a team makes it bond. Differences is what
makes the team unique".
- C/LtCol Michael Tier, Oviedo, FL
