I have been hearing good things about the new class.
As a parent who just dropped off my DD on Thursday I appreciate the positive words. I didn't take it to mean that this class is better or worse than others. It seemed a simple comment that certainly didn't need to be attacked and at least made this parent smile

Thank you. You will find attacks can occur here. My son is one of the Squadron Commanders for the incoming year. I know a lot of his friends, and the people he has spoken with have said positive things. My son is a very positive person and he would like nothing better than to have a great Doolie class.
@ Tigger, Congratulations, you have done a great job raising a child. She is a reflection of your parenting. Good luck to her.

While "attacks" can occur here I wouldn't characterize any of the remarks I've read on THIS thread as an attack on anyone. Certainly sharing of opposing/different opinions can be done without labeling such as an "attack".You will find attacks can occur here.

Good Luck to your daughter Tigger!
My basics are progressing according to schedule. It is impossible to say "this class is better" or "this class is worse" at this stage. Every class has their own strengths and weaknesses.
I think we agree on this. My admonition is about not making judgments too soon, because this can set unfair expectations. Things can quickly change at this point - no one can tell, and there are few more corrosive emotions than disappointment.
My son is also cadre, he has it in his mind to train the basic cadets as best he can and to help them be as successful as his skill and their desire would allow. So lets hope the best for the Basic Cadets and their cadre and let the basics settle into BCT without setting undo expectations.
I completely agree with that sentiment!All the OP wrote was "I have been hearing good things about the new class." Just that one simple statement. How that got turned into making judgments and setting expectations just makes my brain hurt
