Man-made rain last year. And I think only the Comm and his staff got wet.Yes. Good luck Black Knights! You’ll get a brief break on July 4th. Enjoy the Fireworks and the Festive Music by the Hudson! Cadets paraded in rain last year, this year is clear weather!
It was quite a day. Very humbling to watch my DD and her classmate take the oath on the plain.
I was not mad at them but at myself because could not find DS until the company turned and walked away. However I felt embarrassed for the spectators who laughed/talked very loud and left the bleacher while the superintendent and staffs were still standing and new cadets marching back to the barrack.It was quite a day. Very humbling to watch my DD and her classmate take the oath on the plain.
Agreed. the whole day was emotional and I felt grateful that my daughter has this opportunity. I wish the spectators would have waited in the stands till all cadets left the plain and the doors to the barracks were shut. Even though it was asked people still did not listen and I found it disrespectful. I know it was hot but what we went through paled in comparison to what the new cadets had to and will have to endure.
I have many HD pics of the Parade, Mostly Company C, emphasis on C-4. Let me know.... We stayed planted in the stands until the bitter end. I have pics of the doors closing.I was not mad at them but at myself because could not find DS until the company turned and walked away.
