Just finished up Plebe year but let me give it a shot.
What is normal life like after Plebe year for the rest of your years?
-Typically comes with an increased academic workload and less free time. 3rd class now have Sunday liberty and 2nd class have Friday liberty with civilian clothes and driving privileges.
Once the whole Brigade is back, does everyone take part in "training" the Plebes?
-Usually not. It really depends on the company, but "training" by non-training staff (i.e. the two 2/C and the one 1/C) is highly frowned upon by peers. 3/C usually look the other way when plebes break "rules", and most 2/C and 1/C are too busy to even care. Most guys just don't want to get that "joe" reputation.
Is the 3rd year class now "free"?
-Free from the fourth class system, yes. There's still alot of restrictions placed on 3/C, such as uniforms as liberty attire, no driving, no friday night liberty, no civilian clothes, etc... At least 3/C can listen to music and walk to our destination
However, some company's require their 3/C to attend Saturday Morning Training.
Do the other classes stand inspection, room inspection, etc?
-Yep, there's a bi-annual Alpha inspection all classes have to go through. All classes are expected to keep their rooms in inspection ready condition at all times, anyway. When nobody is in the room, like during class, the door must be propped open so that the SELs and COs can inspect the room. Uniform inspection is Thursday for all classes during noon meal formation. It's not taken very seriously in most, if not all, companys.
Do you get to wear civies and go out freely?
-Only 1/C and 2/C are allowed civies in Annapolis, and 3/C are allowed civies during weekend liberty outside of a 22 mile radius.
I know everyone is still studying intently, but is an average day or week like for the other three classes?
-Do you mean "what"* is an average day or week like? Usually wake up at 6:45, formation, go to breakfast, go to class at 7:45. Morning classes last until 11:45, formation at 12:05, lunch period till 1:20. Afternoon classes end at 3:20. Athletic reserve period until 7:00 for varsity athletes. Study for the rest of the night. No lights-out is enforced.
So, the only thing that really differs between 4/C and the rest of the brigade is morning workouts, training during free time, and 11:00 lights out.
