USAFA squadrons

[Bigrod]

So my DS is a C2C now getting ready to commit. He said the squadron he was in for his first 2 years is his baby squadron. My question is what do they call the squadron they are in for their last two years that they will graduate from?

They call them something?

Hmm...

Back when Dino's roamed the Terrazzo, we just said: "my first squadron was CS-3X and my second was CS-3X."

I believe it is called the graduating squadron.

They call it their legacy squadron.

Don't remember actually calling it anything!

How many squadrons do they usually move? Within +/- 5, 10, 15 or more? For example if you started in 10, could you end up in 40? I wonder how they do it.

 

[Bigrod]

They have their own algorithm. There is no set # up or down.

It's some sort of an algorithm to make sure each squadron has a diverse group of folks. But now, as a Sophomore about to switch squadrons, you can claim a "buddy" and you'll both be moved to the same squadron - that way you can get to room with a good friend your last two years.
