OK, saw the hundreds of professional photos of the ring dance. They cause a newbie parent like me, to come up with a few questions......
I did not see any female 1st class members in the photos....at least not in uniform. Did I miss them? Were they there?
Looking at each of the 1st classmen in uniform, there are differances in their shoulder boards. What do the perpendicular gold stripes represent. Most had one stripe. Some had two. Some had three. A few had four.
Also, what do the stripes mean if they are at a 45 degree angle? Saw a few of those too.
Looked like a party that should not be missed. Is it an event that each student pays a fee for or is it thrown by the Academy?
Finally, what is the average cost of one of the rings.....looks like DS better start saving now!
