费什伯恩 Military School held its first formation for the 2022-23 cadet corps on Wednesday afternoon to encourage the class as they begin the school year.

School leaders presented the cadets with leadership positions for the upcoming year in front of their family 和 friends. Col. 蓝棕色, the president of 费什伯恩, presented an honorary sword to the cadet battalion comm和er, 肖恩·罗斯.

罗斯, who will graduate with the class of 2023, encouraged his fellow cadets to work hard 和 stick by each other’s sides throughout their time at the school.

“We have chosen a very different path for a high school career than others,罗斯说 in his address. “We will need each other to navigate through the challenges of being at a military school. Have faith that the people around you want you to succeed.”

罗斯 said he visited 费什伯恩 for the first time when he was seven years old while his older brother attended the school. The cadets at 费什伯恩 then treated 罗斯 as one of their own, leaving an impression on 罗斯 that started his journey to being the cadet battalion comm和er for the upcoming year.

“They showed leadership in everything they did 和, more importantly, they were proud to be called 费什伯恩 cadets,罗斯说.

棕色（的）。, who assumed the role of president in April, quoted the biblical book of John as he addressed the cadets, telling them “a man knows no greater love that he would lay down his life for his friends.” 棕色（的）。 discussed the types of relationships the cadets will form at the school 和 how they last longer than just the cadet’s time at the school.

“There is often a brotherhood of arms,” 棕色（的）。 said. “男人, women serving in combat, serving under arms; tight bonds form, 和 it very much becomes a brotherhood. Today at 费什伯恩 Military School, nobody is going to be called into combat, but there is the brotherhood here. It has made quite an impression on me in my short time at 费什伯恩.”
