Cadet Formal This Weekend
In a kind of "dress rehearsal" for the all-academy balls the CGA is having their winter formal this Saturday at Leamy Hall. The cadets are required to attend two of three formals held at the academy. This is part of their training to become "officers and gentle(persons)." Etiquette, manners, how to comport yourself in a "monkey suit." If I get some pics I will post em.

Yep. The most important thing to be learned is where the dessert fork is and to never begin using it until the Admiral does. Otherwise you'll get sent to the Grog bowl.
