Hi, I'm Richard Rivas Lobo and I'm the 2025-2026 Battalion Personnel Officer (S-1). I am a senior and a LET-4 this school year, holding the rank of Cadet First Lieutenant. I'm the deputy commander for the Drill team. If you want to strike up a conversation with me, please feel free to do so. I try to be as welcoming as possible so don't feel intimidated if you feel you need to discuss something with me.
As the Battalion Personnel Officer (S-1) I handle the people that make up the Battalion. I input awards, rank-ups, and activities/community service hours that everyone earns/achieves. I record everything in a database called JUMS so if you decide to join theArmy at a later date, all of your achievements will be on record. Please don't feel pressured to join the Army, JROTC is here for you to gain leadership skills. I am in charge of planning award ceremonies. If your instructor tells you that you've earned something, talk to your platoon leaders. The platoon leaders and platoon sergeants communicate with me with awards you have earned so I can prepare your awards and ranks for the next award or rank-up ceremony.
Feel free to talk to me about anything. I am here if you need to talk about the struggles of being a student, if you're frustrated about anything JROTC related, or anything in particular. I've been at Liberty for 3 years now, I understand your struggles when it comes to being a high school student. Please feel free to come up to me for any reason. I'm available in person, but you can also email me!
