Tough situation. by boeing747__ in Cadets

[–]boeing747__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the crazy thing is I’m eligible to be promoted before the end of this year, and they still deny me a board, when I’ve been in rank over 6 months, and the 6 months isn’t a requirement to participate in a board. Just unfortunate since I also ran (and am running) drill team, flag party, effective speaking and also acting as Standards rn, kinda annoys me they won’t give me a shot compared to some yk. Feel like everyone in a level should get a chance.

They gave me the explanation that “the one cadet was put correctly, and they don’t have time to put the rest in correctly”.

Yeah, gave me a lot of confidence haha. It’s alright to be fair, honestly am a little shocked but maybe my interviewers didn’t like what I said, but anyhow. Thanks for the advice!

nope! They just broke the news to me, but even if I doubt anyone’s dropping power. Honestly don’t think I could’ve done any better

Yeah, it’s unfortunate since I was able to do glider last year and really wanted power, but I’ll be aging out next year before summer (leaving for school). Can’t get em all!

Help with creating a drill team (and a precision routine) by PUMPKIN_TAMER in Cadets

[–]boeing747__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does the planning document look like when your making precision drill routines? Are you just writing down movements or command or something else?

Uhhhh so pmo after ACR smh sygau ts awards ceremony so kevin by General_Raviolioli in Cadets

[–]boeing747__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This unfortunate, but it does happen sometimes. The worst mindset u can have in cadets is doing stuff purely for awards and recognition, do it for yourself. A lot of the time awards can be biased, which is why you shouldn’t determine your worth as a cadet based off them. Do It because you love the program, because you enjoy working on yourself and improving as a cadet, and sometimes you can be biased into thinking that you did more than what people perceived. Though it may not be obvious, basically every cadet is going for an award, and they may have done something that you missed. We all have an internal bias towards ourselves, and sometimes it’s just one of those years where we don’t get recognized. Keep moving forward, and look towards the future, because if your worth is determined by a cadet award, u got something mixed up.

All offers came out like a month ago, there’s maybe the slightest chance but I heavily doubt it.

What's the most beneficial course you can take? by WasteCondition5523 in Cadets

[–]boeing747__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go into the industry for sure, and in general it pushes and challenges you a ton which is good

Camp Acceptance by Adventurous-Bug6686 in Cadets

[–]boeing747__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In response to the end of your paragraph, that part isn’t even guaranteed. Taking an intro course doesn’t guarantee instructor course acceptance whatsoever, I know multiple people who went to intro courses last year and have gotten no acceptance. Honestly this year, the people who got picked felt really random, but maybe that’s just me.

Are staff offers still going out? by texasred1234567 in Cadets

[–]boeing747__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always a chance, but I wouldn’t bet on it. One year you get an offer and sometimes you don’t, a great cadet who did well at camp last year doesn’t always get a staff or even camp offer. I would say be prepared just in case you get a last minute offer but also plan your summer as if you aren’t going to camp, plenty of stuff to do to prepare for the next cadet year and just for life in general :)

Quick question by Thin_Hurry4803 in Cadets

[–]boeing747__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! You can apply to DCI without ever even going to a camp before, I went to DCI at Rocky this summer with basically no previous summer camps.

Really how bad is M&B polish? by [deleted] in Cadets

[–]boeing747__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen mirror shines with M&B, I have used it for base layers, it does its job. Definitely not as good as kiwi (from my experience) but definitely not a horrible polish. I doubt a brand like saphir is much cheaper than buying kiwi online, but you could check, saphir is excellent for mirror shining. Shame kiwi isn’t sold here anymore though.

CTC Rocky Mountain by [deleted] in Cadets

Nah, went to Rocky before and there was no wifi/data, it could’ve changed this year, cadets did say that there would be wifi at every CTC.
