<p>Is the big move Saturday? That should be a bit overwhelming…the wing returning…moving to the Academic Squadron and suddenly having more upper classmen than under. Ooooooh</p>
<p>yes. basics move in the early afternoon, and the wing returns (if away) to their squads by 1900</p>
<p>And then the squadron personnel take over the BCT Cadre jobs until "acceptance?" or ???????</p>
<p>BCT flight cadre are the only cadre authorized to interact with the Basics till they are 4 digs.</p>
<p>Is there BCT flight cadre in all 40 squadrons?</p>
<p>excuse me...in EACH of the 40 squadrons.</p>
<p>Yes, all squadron have people that had to be bct cadre. There are plenty around. And if the non-cadre people are like me, then avoiding the basics isn't really an issue. They are so annoying coming right out of basic...</p>
<p>now now TX Falcon - you may once have been in their shoes!</p>
<p>You must understand that common sense is removed during basic. I'm not ragging on 2012 (I haven't seen them yet). It just happens.</p>
<p>Oh come one...how bad could it be. They are new...they are suddenly now outnumbered. And then there remains, I guess, the intimidation factor. Do they dare budge outside their rooms without a good reason?</p>
<p>Not unless they have to!</p>
<p>New environment, new role, new people, new rules--then BCT ends and they get a whole new set. The lack of knowledge robs them of the ability to make a lot of "easy" decisions. They don't always understand their role or the role of a particular upperclassman. This leads them to ask "stupid questions" and do things strangely.</p>
<p>Saturday is the "Warrior" lunch. Do you know if the have a noon meal formation or go direct. We'd like to come up and watch if they march.</p>
<p>Last year we marched before the warrior lunch and I would bet money that they will march this year again. Not sure what time but I would guess between 1110 and 1200 would be the start.</p>
<p>Formation is at 1140.</p>
<p>Huge thanks 07 and AC. We'll be there!</p>
