We're in the second marking period now and the weekly uniform inspections are starting again this week.
Every cadet--especially those taking independent studies--MUST be present at each inspection unless excused, whether in uniform or not. If you miss a uniform day, you should make it up. Wearing you uniform and ensuring your grade is recorded is your responsibility. If you come in late, remember to see an instructor with a pass. Each student will be allowed to make one uniform day this marking period. Here's a summary of how you will be graded:
- 0 for a no-show with no acceptable excuse.
- 5 if you show up at the weekly inspection not in uniform. Can be converted to a 7 later if you make it up the same week.
- 6 for being in uniform with significant problems (hair, shave, shoes, etc.). Note that a grade of 5 or less may be assigned for gross uniform violations.
- 7 for appearing in an average looking uniform.
- 8 for an above average (everything looks good, you know your required general knowledge, and you have good bearing)
- 9 for an exceptional showing.
- 10 for an exceptional showing validated by an instructor.
There will be 10 grades available, 9 mandatory and one make-up or extra-credit. Inspections will be on the following dates:
- 18 NOV (Thu.)
- 23 NOV (Tues., the last full day before Thanksgiving break.)
- 2 DEC (Thu.)
