What should a cadet do when receiving feedback from peers?

When receiving feedback from peers, viewing it as an opportunity for personal growth fosters a positive environment for learning and improvement. Constructive criticism can provide valuable insights into one's performance, highlighting both strengths and areas needing development. This attitude encourages a mindset of continuous improvement, helping cadets to enhance their skills and abilities over time. Accepting and reflecting on feedback, rather than dismissing it or only focusing on positive remarks, enables individuals to become more effective leaders and team members. Engaging with feedback allows cadets to understand different perspectives, work collaboratively with peers, and build resilience—all critical skills in the JROTC program and beyond.
