Still waiting as well.
Go take a walk in the Air Gardens. You've earned it! Haha!Thanks! Feels so good to have earned civies again and everything else that comes with Recognition!

First off, congrats!Thanks! Feels so good to have earned civies again and everything else that comes with Recognition!
Thanks! We can wear backpacks all the time. We can wear civies and go off base(in civies) with unlimited passes. We're no longer at attention except when everyone is. We can talk at all times pretty much. We don't have to study for k-tests, greet by cadet rank, name, and job, or walk on the right side of the hall. We can visit all of our friends in other squads and be in our rooms with doors closed after lunch. We can take naps when we don't have class. We don't have to have our rooms perfect just clean and organized. We don't have required items such as 341's, contrails, and staff lists. We do not have to use only back stairwells and can use elevators(as opposed to going back to squad after leg day and going to 6th floor by stairs). We don't have to wear UOD to optional meals(just PT gear)First off, congrats!
Second, what all comes with being recognized? Which privileges are you now allowed to have?
Wow! This just shows how restricted life as a 4th class cadet is! Do you feel so weird right now doing all of the things that were forbidden? Do you ever find yourself starting to greet someone before realizing you don't have to? Congrats on recognition! You must be SO stoked!Thanks! We can wear backpacks all the time.

From now until June.... what, 25th? are some of the happiest days here at "USAFA State U." Enjoy! (Actually, for the red caps, June 25 is arguably going to be the happiest day since Recognition. For the yellow caps... not so much.)
Also - Zamps, way to go. I enjoyed seeing you work together, sweat together, and succeed together, all three days. You earned it!
haha! Yes, my husband was a yellow cap.Yep... also, my Contrails definitely says that 2011/2015/2019, etc., are yellow classes.
Oh, dear! I guess after BCT ends everyone loses the "bubble wrap" mentality!Cadets are back into the swing of things.... Last few days before the needed spring break. DS said it was a tremendous experience...also heard that there were a few sprained ankles, knees, missing teeth and a couple of concussions...ouch.
