Spent the morning drilling basic maneuvers with the lower-ranked cadets. Most people see a lack of rank as a lack of potential, but they're looking at the wrong metrics. If you aren't willing to sweat through the basics, don't expect to survive the advanced stuff. To the cadet who stayed an extra hour to fix their footwork after I called them out—keep that drive. It's the only thing the ranking system can't take away from you. #GalensAcademy #CombatTraining #PotentialIsEarned
