The end is near!


I'm cheating and using Web Guy's Blog material to fill space. Today was the last day in country for our German friends. We took them to the airport at 1700 hrs. and they are now on their way to Munich.

Mary Agnes asleep on the couch already. I'm updating the Blog with Home & Garden's House Hunters segment on. Gosh, do I live an exciting life.

Sam is really on the downside and the end of Beast summer is on Wednesday. Way to go Sam, Cobras and the class of 2012. You Beat the Beast.

Class of 2012

Upcoming Days
Posted August 1st, 2008 2:31pm by WebGuy


Saturday
Saturday will be consumed with three main things: (1) packing; (2) Warrior Lunch; (3) moving. Everything else is secondary.

Yes, they begin packing this evening. Whatever they don't have packed, they'll finish first thing in the morning. Then, they'll take care of their morning activities. At noon, they'll head to Mitchell Hall for their "Warrior Lunch". This is the final activity of Basic Training, although they are not "Accepted" into the Cadet Wing until Wednesday. (Also, the basics must be escorted around by their new squadron upper class cadets until Acceptance Parade) At this meal, they will likely be congratulated by the BCT Cadet Commander and the Commandant. After this meal, the basics will be escorted by flight to their Academic Year squadrons.

By now, you should all know where your basic is heading.
Aggressors, A-Flight goes to Squadron 1
Aggressors, B-Flight goes to Squadron 2
And so on through,
Jaguars, D-Flight goes to Squadron 40

Sunday
On Sunday, the basics will be in briefings from 1300 through 1700.

Monday and Tuesday
On Monday and Tuesday, the basics will cycle through a number of locations and briefings.
(1) Clothing Issue
(2) Library Briefing
(3) Computer Issue/Set-up
(4) Student Academic Services Briefing
(5) Textbook Issue
(6) Parade Practice
(7) Commandant's Briefing
(8) Academic Schedule Orientation

Wednesday
Of course, on Wednesday the Basics will be "Accepted" into the Cadet Wing. Once that is completed, they are permitted to go from place to place unaccompanied by an upper class cadet. Later that day, they will attend a mandatory "First Year Briefing" which is an orientation briefing on the First Year experience. That evening, they are scheduled for an Honor Lecture.
