1. 4th BN AAR SY 2016-17 AAR Year in Review

2. 4th Battalion then…
WATTS BARRACKS

3. 4th Battalion now…

4. The Much Needed Cultural Shift
“The Zoo”: Last year it was recommended that the narrative be changed to what “The Zoo” meant. To change the negative perception into a positive one.
By making deliberate changes to the physical appearance of the barracks, changing the way we talked about the COs/BN, holding Commanders and Seniors accountable, and focusing on how each member represented the BN…change occurred very quickly.
Second verse, same as the first: With strong leadership in each CO and a strong BN staff, 4th BN will continue to improve upon the perception and reputation it now has among the SCCC.

6. Clear Left and Right Limits: Command Teams take charge
The command teams within 4th BN set the expectations early for the year:
Cadre will be a positive and professional experience
Eliminate hazing (to include servitude)
Zero drugs and alcohol in barracks
Address disrespect (at all levels)
Assault, Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment
Adhering to the Honor Code…work in progress…

7. Areas identified from the conclusion of last year
Initial Focus Areas & Strategy Discussions in other words…how we did this
Areas identified from the conclusion of last year
Accountability, an all the time thing
(start with little “a” work to big “A”)
Professionalism, teach it-display it-demand it
(Teaching vs harassing, Cadre ROE, “traditions”)
Bystander Intervention vs Toleration
(Little problems don’t become big problems)
Responsible vs Irresponsible Drinking
(Zero tolerance for drinking on campus)
All-ins
(Knowing where your people are and that they are ok)
Building a Culture of Success aka The Family Factor
(Unit & individual performance, taking care of each other)
