Day 2 of Pre-Orientation was highly productive both educationally and administratively for the Cadre. After PT this morning, meetings and classes were held with a focus on medical information crucial to Orientation. The Cadre were placed in breakout sessions and trained in emergency response procedures, proper equipment handling, and overall situational awareness.

After lunch, the Cadre headed to briefings from the Regimental Adjutant and the Regimental Operations Officer aboard the T.S. Patriot State II. It was a nice change of scenery and, of course, gave everyone a chance to take photos with the ship. Each company had time to practice marching again before dinner, but the evening activities were definitely a favorite for the Cadre. First Battalion Squad Leaders challenged each other with bearing tests while Second Battalion worked through facing movements for the Orientation patio test.

While today was an important day and the tone was serious at times, the Cadre always bring the energy and know how to have some fun!
