The final day of Pre-Orientation has come to a close. The Cadre spent the day preparing for the arrival of the youngies after a morning canal run followed by a swim! Orientation assistants sported immersion suits while each company took their turn jumping off the dock to cool off. Safe to say there were smiles all around this morning!

After the plunge, Cadre headed to breakfast and practiced their oath for Sunday. Boxes were packed for the incoming cadet candidates as well. The Commandant had a few closing remarks to the Cadre in Admiral’s Hall, and he sent them on their way with their companies. Company Commanders took charge, went over final details, and dismissed the Squad Leaders.

It was a short but eventful day here on campus, and now the real anticipation begins. Sunday is approaching quickly and the Cadre are ready.
