Dear forum friends,
If any of you have the time and inclination, I'm curious about a few things about this week, which I think is known as Re-Organization Week? I'm a high school teacher who acts as the informal service academy information source at my high school, and I've got two former students whom I taught in the classroom who are members of the Class of 2017. I've been writing my former students throughout the summer (and mobilized other faculty to send notes) and would like to send something this week congratulating them on the Marchback and, from what I understand, the official end to CBT?
I'm not on a listserv because I'm not a parent, so I thought I'd "crowdsource" my question to SA Forums. First, would it be okay to send any sort of CARE package with treats at this point, or should that wait for after Acceptance Day? Second, should I still address the envelopes this week to "New Cadet [Doe]" until Acceptance Day?
Lastly, if anyone is willing, I'm curious how this week works. Are they already with their new companies? Do they have yuk "team leaders" assigned to them yet? Do they basically spend this week moving, getting books, academic gear, and with some training/orientation by the new companies?
Thanks all, both for this and for your patience over the past several years. I served in the Marines but did not go the SA route so this has been invaluable as I try to help some of the kids and families (let alone my colleagues) understand the process.
