Orientation Day 1 08/18

The 2024 class of Cadet Candidates and their families arrived on campus today. Some looked eager, many looked nervous. These CCs are about to embark on a ten day journey taking their first steps towards becoming active members of the regiment of cadets.

As the Cadet Candidates stood in line to check in, the Cadre ran around campus singing cadences

After the oath, the CCs were funneled out of the bleachers into platoons. Now separated from their loved ones, they quickly found out how things operated here.
While waiting to enter the mess deck, the Cadet Candidates studied and were quizzed on the names of this years regimental staff
