On Tuesday, 30 June 2009, public affairs staff member C/SSgt Zoe Garcia joined C/CMSgt Catrina Johnson to help with morning PT.  Since then, Garcia has been working her station at the exercise wall in addition to her public affairs duties.  She says she finds evaluating and training cadets fulfilling and can see improvement each day.

“It was definitely interesting to work with the cadets,” said Garcia. “I started working on PT on my own station on Wednesday.   I’ve been closely examining the cadets as they work out and I think they were a bit shaky on Wednesday when I started out.  On Thursday and today [Friday], though, I definitely saw improvement.  I think because they actually figured out in their heads that I was a Sergeant!  But there’s most definitely improvement.  I’ve seen motivation, that feeling to keep striving for success. It’s a rewarding sight,” she said.

So there you have it, a public affairs view on cadets during PT.
