Al continued his education earning a Master's Degree from Michigan State in , and a year of graduate school at The University of Michigan. He has been a coach, high school, elementary, and special education teacher. Under the leadership of the first Professor of Military Science at Delaware College, students learned organization, discipline and physical fitness. For generations, students and alumni have been able to count on the training received through ROTC, in which students meet unique challenges and learn key lessons beyond the traditional classroom, building character and skills that can only be developed through real-world knowledge.
Such lessons last a lifetime and forge unforgettable bonds. Building upon that community legacy, a group of Army ROTC alumni came together this fall to establish an annual award recognizing an outstanding cadet. While all ROTC cadets experience the same training, there are always those who stand out. For such students, being recognized by their officers and teachers, as well as their peers, takes on incredible meaning.
Financial support can also ensure dedicated students are able to close the gap and focus on their academic dreams. A graduate of UD and now a retired educator and lieutenant colonel, Parsons credits the Army ROTC community with helping him succeed and find his career path. It motivated him to be one of the lead donors to create the new award fund, hopefully also inspiring a future ROTC student to continue their military service.
Although the two never met before the creation of the award, their shared experience brought them together. Strive for excellent grades, physical fitness, character and the best cadre and friends you could hope for. You won't be the same person when you leave here. I can't think of anything better than that. I was pushed to become my best self in the classroom and in the field. I not only learned core values to take with me and rely on every day, but also to lead by example.
I was given constant feedback and advice which allowed me to succeed while on active duty. I became a part of a family that will always be there for me, with or without a uniform on.
Looking back, joining the Bobcat Battalion has been my greatest decision so far in life and I couldn't express enough gratitude towards the program.
