<p>Is it mandatory for cadets to stay at the academy after finals (last final on May 13) and before graduation week? what goes on during summer prep week?</p>
<p>yes, it is. if you finish finals early, you can get permission for up to a 96-hour pass, but you must be back for duty may 18, early morning.</p>
<p>depending on your class and your summer program, you do different things. cadre have practice and finish training for their programs. i believe some ground school occurs for various flying programs. there are practice parades for graduation week, and other various taskings. if there is a “once in a lifetime opportunity” you can try to get permission to go to it, but you can’t miss it simply because it’s convenient and you don’t want to be there.</p>
<p>For 2012, all we have to get back for is the CST briefing on Monday afternoon.</p>
<p>there’s also a practice parade Thursday morning you must be at</p>
<p>i LOVE practice parades!!! :D</p>
<p>I sense sarcasm… if not, then that’s just sad.</p>
