Parents, please remember to write your recruit. They are better acquainted with the daily routine and more comfortable in their surroundings, however, reassurance and support from home will go a long way toward relieving anxiety and tension. Help them cross the finish line. It is acceptable to send letters and cards. Please, if your are going to send a care package make sure there is a degree of moderation, too much of a good thing like cookies or brownies can work contrary to our training goals. But, anything you send they'll get, but they'll be sharing. The intensity will continue to increase as we are enter the high-adventure segment of the training schedule.
I have a question regarding protocol:
ReplyDeleteFor those of us arriving on Friday afternoon/evening to attend Graduation, can we see our Recruit/Cadet prior to Graduation? If so, where are we to go, to whom do we report, how much time can we spend with our Recruit/Cadet?
In regards to Graduation, can we see our Recruit/Cadet prior to ceremony? If so, where do we go, to whom do we report, how early can we arrive?
If we cannot see our Recruit/Cadet prior to, how early can we arrive, where should we park, to whom do we report?
Protocol was not discussed in the informational booklet provided.
Thank you!
You can see your recruit Friday evening during "canteen" time. See my posting from yesterday for details.
ReplyDeleteThe graduation is at 1000. You may not see your recruit until after graduation. We'll have Cadets to guide you to the graduation site, once on post. DO NOT PARK ON POST. You'll have to park on the street or across the street at the Civic Center.
See you Saturday!
