- Unit size. As we figure out who is going to be in the unit and who is going to be dropped, it looks like we will have about 140 to 145 cadets. Warning: If you serious, drop the course before you hurt your academic average. If you do not make the weekly inspection, or if you skip 10th period, you will fail.
- Classroom discipline. Pretty good, especially, I am happy to say, on the part of our new cadets. One comment: Don't think that the instructors can stop class to get you ribbons, check on your trousers, etc. If the situation is obviously hectic, come back later.
- First personnel inspection, Thursday, 16 September. Mixed. Only 67 people were accounted for. Many cadets skipped this MANDATORY event. Many others really need to spend some time and attention on their shoes.
- Uniform issue. In progress. Uniforms will be coming back from the tailor early next week--be sure to check if your items are back so you can be in uniform on our inspection on the 23rd.
- Independent studies. If you are taking NS3 or 4 independent studies, or if you are taking NS2 10th period, your first weekly assignment has been posted and is due on Friday, 24 September. Don't fall behind.
"Bravo Zulu" on a good start to what should be a great year. Keep charging!
