<p>mombee - yes that female CADET (not mid ;-)) was the Rhodes Scholar/soccer player from my fine state of WA - Elizabeth Betterbed. I spotted her a couple of times during the speech when they showed the crowd. Didn’t see my son but at least I spotted Liz! I didn’t see her hesitate but if she did it may have been about climbing over the barrier.</p>
<p>I can understand if a few cadets nodded off. They never get enough sleep and then you put them in a comfy seat 2-4 hours and they will most likely fall asleep.</p>
