...and mostly gone. A lot of high school heroes just got slapped in the face by the stone hand of reality!
Any tales of any bolos yet?

What is a "bolo"?
DS is at Buckner today, he said an officer was commenting on today's R-Day activities and reported a cadet candidate refused to move forward after the 90-second goodbye, turned around and left for home. First I'd heard of anyone not even making it past the 90-second clock... kind of a "Runaway Bride" moment I guess.
When you talk about "R" Day is that the first day of what you call "Beast" or have the prospective cadets already gone through Beast prior to R Day.
Yes, R-Day (Reception Day) is the first day of Beast, or Beast Barracks, or CBT (Cadet Basic Training) at USMA.
A Regional Admissions officer told me about a year ago that one person from his region did not show-up for R-Day because he thought the summer training was optional. He said the candidate was very surprised when he was called and told he was late. The candidate asked if he could immediately come to WP the next day.
WP told him to implement his Plan B. True story!
