Remember Bataan!

“There is no glory in the act itself, only the purpose behind it. Your service and purpose now is bigger than you, it extends to those you mean to lead…”

— Colonel John M. Ives (Class of 1997)

Words of Wisdom

The BBAO would like to invite fellow alumni in participating in the time-honored tradition of passing along words of wisdom to our new army officers. Providing them the opportunity to learn from our experienced alumni. The insights and advice of those who are and have served before them provides invaluable guidance to newly commissioned second lieutenants as they begin their journey. By embracing these teachings, our new officers can navigate challenges with a greater understanding and preparedness, ultimately enhancing their capabilities and contributions to the force as a whole.

It is tradition that the Bataan Battalion Alumni Organization presents our newly commissioned second lieutenants with a gift and a letter wishing them luck on the beginning of their exciting new career in the military. The BBAO is asking for your Words of Wisdom to provide them a compiled list of dos and don'ts. If you would like to participate in this tradition we ask that you fill out the form below and provide a recommendation for a good reading.

Thank you all for your support.

Remember Bataan!
