<p>Please, claim and photograph all the new cadets you want. My parents took pictures of EVERY short, female, BCGed new cadet in my platoon…and of a few of the taller ones too. I gave them away to my buddies, their parents were very appreciative.</p>
<p>I don’t feel like an old grad yet…although I do have the t-shirt! My company got together and we’ve got yellow cadre t-shirts that say “Old Grad” in huge letters across the front. I swear, I put mine on after the graduation parade and didn’t take it off until my room mate’s wedding on Sunday.</p>
<p>After I go to BOLC, I hope this feels more “real.” I went through Grad Week, the parties, and all the weddings, (including my own), but I still feel like I’m supposed to report back to West Point in August!</p>
