It WAS only the plebes screw up... they are the ONLY class who hasn't done a single successful spirit mission to honor anything. Nothing for 9-11, nothing for Coast Guard and now this BS. All the while they are getting privileges that NO class has had before them and the training department is having their hand tied behind there backs mostly due to pressure from PARENTS. They are told exactly what is expected of them, everything they are doing is a TEST. They are supposed to be learning leadership starting by learning how to lead each other. Not only are they unwilling to do this, but they are very quick to pass the blame to someone else. Meanwhile every other class has been able to achieve this. It is for this reason why we are so proud and why upper class get angry when they see how this class acts. 2013Parent, I believe you deserve answers, but I believe you called the wrong person. Instead you should be asking the members of the class of 2013.
sadly enough, i agree. it seems like theres maybe 10-15 people who actually give a da*n and show up for the spirit mission, meetings, etc, and maybe an additional 30 that show up occasionally. other than that, pretty much no one ever shows up. the 9-11 "ceremony" was the highest attendance weve had yet, and while it was nice if you were there at midnight, NOBODY ELSE WAS. there was no "longevity" to the memorial for anyone to see. its frusterating as hell trying to get a bunch of people to go do something that they dont want or "have the time" to do, and im really at a loss as to how to go about it. Is2day4him, im going to disagree with your "volunteer" comment, because when im in charge of getting a group of people together for a spirit mission but dont have the authority other than my own "inspiring words" to make it madatory, then whatever party i raise is indeed comprised of volunteers, or at least people who didnt tell me, sometimes literally, to go **** myself.
