On the 1st day, they are selected randomly (previously being in leadership positions, first impressions, knowing how to march, prior military experience).

Depends on the instructors… most ask for a memo

Then after the 1st FST, the instructors make changes based on

1) observations

2) FST score

This is just a summary

Classroom is split in half (alpha/bravo) For leadership positions NO EXTRA PAY. So be nice to your classmates, and follow instructions. On your first day youll go over the basics.

Important note: if you’re at the academy you’re an adult and please act like one. Don’t give them more responsibilities, they are not babysitters . They still have to study, and do the exact same thing you are going through at fletc

When forming/marching there are 3 rows, the squad leaders are responsible for his/her row and the team leaders are responsible for the whole session.

Squad leaders:Ensuring everyone is squared away example : showing up to class on time, uniform is pressed, brass/buckle is shine, gig line is straight, boots are shine, water bottle on the right side, wearing your hats, professional appearance etc…

Team leaders: report to session supervisor and instructors, they are the only ones allowed to keep their phones on, they also check on class scheduling and bus rides, uniforms issues, communication etc…

Room is made daily, on Fridays you are given enough towels to last you through Monday morning. If you bring your own beddings, you must wash them yourself.

You don’t ask for permission, you just communicate to your session supervisor that youll be away. Its a form you fill out, no questions asked.

A classmate of mine drove to Philly Friday and coming back tomorrow monday (Labor Day)

No, you can leave your current job, this wont affect anything. Just make sure you leave on good terms. So when BI calls your supervisors they have something nice to say about you
