You have good points about Acceptance Day being for more than just the doolies. Please understand that I meant no disrespect to the milestones achieved by the upper classes on that day. What I meant was that it had the atmosphere of the new C4C’s first “day in the sun” after a pretty long and difficult night. I believe that it is called “Acceptance Day”, and not “Transition Day” because those cadets being “accepted” are the ones highlighted for their accomplishement of surviving BCT. Also, I could be wrong, but the only parents I saw were doolie parents.

Interesting that you witnessed parents helping their cadets find their classes (!?)— Mine only wanted to eat pizza in Arnold Hall, and sit—yes, SIT— in his room hooking up his new computer, accessing e-mail, buying books from upperclassmen, and just talking with us and his roommates. There was a very steady stream of his classmates that wandered in and out of the room all afternoon, and it was wonderful meeting all of his new friends and seeing how well he is adjusting.

Only 3 more weeks until Parent’s Weekend!
