Many people are curious about what a day actually looks like for cadets. It is a pretty hectic schedule so it makes sense that they aren’t sure how we fit everything that we need to in one.
0600-0630
Wake up and put on whatever uniform you were told to wear the night before. Some people might shower depending on their level of motivation.
0645
Morning formation begins. That means you just stand in the hallway and wait while someone looks over your uniform.
0700
Go to breakfast if your heart desires. Also depends on your level of motivation for the day.
0730-1123
Class. Schedule varies based on the individual.
1135
Formed up for Noon Meal Formation. This is the opportunity for all of the world to watch us do one of our least favorite things….marching.
1155
Lunch starts with announcements about anything and everything we may or may not need to know for the near future. This meal could be delicious or questionable at best. Don’t worry though, if you choose to visit we normally we have better food on those days.
1230
This could be class or a roll call or some other briefing. It just depends on the day.
1330-1523
The rest of the class schedule unless you are an intercollegiate athlete in which case you are most likely at practice.
1530-1730
This time period can change a lot depending on the person. Athletes are probably at practice, clubs are probably doing club things, intramurals are going on for the people that it applies to.
1700-1900
Optional dinner. The amount of people who go to this depends greatly on what is being served.
1915-1945
Available time for briefings and other meetings if necessary.
1945-2300
Time given for homework or other things if you still need to do your job.
2300
Taps, or as I like to call it, optional bedtime.
2400
Second optional bedtime…..
