I don't know folks - unless you think it's misinformation from multiple sources, would anything other than a direct notification satisfy a need to not waste time preparing for NSI this summer (until that official word comes out)? Multiple reports shared they've heard directly from their chain of command that NSI is canceled this year. Tough to tell tone or intent in board messages, so I'll just express mine today is with positive intent, and is for whimsy, camaraderie and fun (we're all figuring this out, together).
again just for fun, we can imagine this conversation Scene: Ohio State, NROTC cadet's dorm, as everyone prepares to go home for the semester/ until Covid isolation ends...
Unit Commander (quizzical): "What are you doing, Cadet?"
Cadet, snapping to attention: "Sir. Packing for NSI, Sir - just in case."
Unit Commander (smallest frown appears): "Just in case? Haven't I already informed you, directly, that NSI is canceled?"
Cadet (stands a little taller): "Sir, well yes Sir. But see, Sir, I didn't hear it from national command - you know, officially."
Unit Commander: (Frown deepens, inhales deeply, pauses, points to The Shoe (Ohio Stadium). "So just curious Cadet, what am I to you, your cousin Wilbur from Kalamazoo? See that horseshoe monstrosity over there? Take a moment and hydrate. You're about to become familiar with every stair in that stadium"
