Ye Olde Redbird Handbook

Everyone knows the famous Redbird Handbook. If you don't, it is that little white book with the tiny font and the blurry pictures. In case you don't know, the Redbird Handbook is going through a major update. Three hardworking individuals are using their independent study time to go through each section and make it more current, easier to read, and full of more applicable information. Here are a few of the major changes.

Adding an Index

The previous edition of the handbook failed to include an index. Trying to find a piece of information in a 100 page book with tiny print, making the book completely useless. The new edition will facilitate a cadet's information search.

Enlarging the Book

The new Redbird Handbook will get rid of that tiny print. If the final funding works out, we hope that the book will be twice its current size and about the same overall length despite adding a few sections.

New Sections

Mentorship

Financial Info- This section will be broken down into two separate sections: ROTC only and ROTC with National Guard/Prior Service

LDAC- A brief explanation of a major ROTC training event

Post-Commissioning Training- A brief explanation of BOLCII and BOLCIII

Army Branches- A outline of the possibilities that wait for us after graduation.

Keep your eyes peeled for the new and improved handbook. It should be hitting an ROTC house near you.
