Got Ideas?

There are some bright ideas that should definitely be kept to oneself.

Summer B's and formations during Finals Week are included in that list.

Also are practice parades where all we do is march laps around the UP instead of taking the normal non-PT day sleepthrough.

Oh, and a "run" on the only rainy day of an otherwise sunny week.

And holding up everyone from breakfast to present the same Corps awards for a SECOND time (yaaaay).

Next time, keep those great ideas to yourself and let the Corps go about its business.

Lastly, Finals Week is the farthest thing from a "Normal Duty Week" there is. The Corps used to virtually shut down during finals for a reason - it's finals! Academics should come first, which means most of us are pulling all-nighters and consuming enormous amounts of caffeine just to survive. "Normal Duty Week" for Norwich includes things like classes. Oh wait, those are done ...

Then again - what IS normal at this place?

Naked at Nine Formation!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to grab my camera in time for the elusive phenomenon known as:

*cue menacing music*

Naked at Nine!

Not that I wish to turn this into a pornographic web presence, but it is something worth documenting. One should expect more of these with the absence of the annual UP500. Curse mild winters... curse you ...

However, the madness that followed was properly documented.

There was a post-N@N formation.



In PT GEAR.



On the UP.



For EVERYONE. Yes, everyone.



People were dragged out of bed, back from the library, and worst of all, called from the RUSTIC to attend this monentous yet brief event.

Seniors, it's your UP, apparently.

So run naked.

Waittaminute ... until I'm not paying tuition anymore, isn't it MY UP as well?

I particularly enjoyed the perfect accountability.

"Ninety percent present ... give or take? Ahh?" turned into,

"Zero APOD!"

A+ on communication skills. F- on counting.

Back to the Rustic, gentlemen!



Norwich Forever.

Information Presentation

Only a few entries remain until the Summer.

Following finals week, this Site will not be updated until August, as school will not be in session. Updates will resume at that time, so please bookmark it and keep that in mind!

On to bigger and better things.

Pass-down: The art of disseminating information so that your subordinates are informed of events or changes.

This is not an idea put into practice in the 3rd BN of our lovely Regiment, which would explain why half of the companies were wandering around this morning, curious as to where everybody was.



It would be nice to know when the BN has been given a sleep-through, as I would rather have stayed in bed sleeping than don BDUs and mill around an empty side of the UP with my roommate. Having attended all the recent formations, I was curious as to the method used to disseminate information as of late.

Nice work.

Gifted

This picture speaks for itself:



This was taken this afternoon, 1 May 2006, at 1215 in Harmon.

That's a 1.5 percent ...

On a side note, this blog was not created with the intent of civilian-bashing, as I have several civilian friends. Yes, several means more than one.

But this is just amusing.
