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
Perhaps I am sort of old school and a bit superstitious (don't jinx a good thing), but do not misread what I was saying either. I just don't think there is reason to think one way or another with any class after only three days. Classes will have their ups and downs, through BCT, though their first year, until graduation. There is no reason to judge them too well after just 72 hours, just as there is no reason to judge them too poorly. It works both ways (had the OP reflected a comment from some cadre that things were not going well, I would have cautioned the same restraint). Been there, done that, for many, many years (Civilian and Military), seen some groups come in with really poor attitudes and turned out to be a solid class, and visa-versa. My comments were not about the basic cadets or the cadre, just that observations as to the nature or progress of the new class can and (in my judgement) should wait a bit. So let's not make this to be something it is not.
