					I just sent WebGal up to snap 
					some photos of the Cadets moving to and from class.  I 
					suggested she wander around the Fairchild Hall (academic 
					building) 2nd floor until masses of people begin hustling to 
					and fro.  It should be interesting.  You'll get to 
					see the cadets in their natural habitat, armed with 
					backpacks and pencils. 
					  
					Here is my repetitive, WebGuy-only 
					(unofficial), suggestion to parents.   
					When you speak with your cadet, remind them continuously to 
					study.  Remind them that people aren't disenrolled for 
					not having the best shined shoes.  They are disenrolled 
					for failing classes.   
					 
					Use this term: EI.  You'll be talking their language.  
					That stands for Extra Instruction.  Tell them that if 
					they have ANY academic problems, go to their professors for 
					EI.  This is one of the few universities where 
					instructors must make themselves available to help students 
					who ask for it.   
					 
					Also, if your cadet is wavering on whether to stay, 
					encourage them to make it through the first semester.  
					Tell them to give the Academy a fair shake, then make an 
					informed decision over the Holiday Break.  This will 
					give them time to settle in, dig deep, and pull on their 
					reserves of perseverance.

					Good Morning/Afternoon.  WebGal here 
					I not long came back from the 
					Cadet area.  I have a bunch of pictures of cadets in 
					their normal day routine. 
					The first set are on the 
					terrazzo, Cadets getting to and from where they need to be.

					As I was wandering around I 
					found some Cadets in the Library, so I snapped them up. They 
					all Look like they are studying hard.  Good Job!

					As I continued my walk about 
					I some how ended up in some dorm hallways. Oops!  So 
					Snap again as quickly as I could, and  got out of 
					there. I didn't want to end up getting yelled at for not 
					being in uniform or made to go to class!

					And lets not forget the poor 
					chaps having their haircut!  I would not be the same if 
					I missed them.

					I have had a few people 
					telling me that the 26th and the 27th was not working.  
					I have fixed it now, you shouldn't have any more problems 
					with it.  Enjoy!    |
