FORT DRUM, NY – Second Lt. Marcus Trevor is excited about making a good first impression at his first duty station. The 23-year-old infantry officer spent the past three and a half hours at a local Barnes and Noble examining different journals and notebooks to use as his leader book when he reports to the 10th Mountain Division as a new platoon leader.
“It’s very early 2000s to carry the old Army issue green leader book,” said Trevor. “I’m looking for something more standout. More contemporary. My goal is to be the kind of leader who is forward looking, but still classic.”
The green leader book Trevor references is the standard military-issue green notebooks, often available from supply. They are also known by their technical name: NSN 7530-00-222-3521.
