RMC Trailblazers: A Conversation with Simon Mailloux about Leadership, Adversity and Resilience
When asked what advice he has for current Officer Cadets, Simon remarks with a chuckle that he well remembers being on the receiving end of such advice. He offers that Cadets should make the most of their time at RMC; that they should read more (“I see Officer Cadets rolling their eyes saying “Ah no, another one that wants me to read more’”); and most importantly that they need to find their support networks both back home and around themselves at the College. “When I got injured, the first people that sent emails and wanted to see me and wanted to support me were my friends from RMC… They were there for me right away… At Kandahar Airfield, in the Role 2 hospital we have there, I didn’t know it, because I was unconscious, but one of my good friends from RMC actually was deployed there as a logistician officer and she came to visit me… So even right out of surgery, the first person that held my hand and helped was somebody from RMC. So, you know, that’s what the College is about. Be there for each other.”
