IMHO, everyone in that photo should be kicked out of the academy.

Thanks for your service, lacrew.

I’d been thinking I’d like my granddaughter in SC to be able to attend The Citadel (which currently has no service obligation after graduation). However, with their recent inability to come to a decision, and hold to military standards regarding a prospective enrollee who wants to were a hijab, I’m more inclined to think FTC to that whole idea.

Sadly, in a month, everyone in that photo will be a commissioned officer. They are all First Class cadets (seniors).

And, the one on the right, first row, she has 5 chevrons. This makes her a Cadet Battalion Commander - a significant leadership position. The one on the left, back row, also has at least one extra chevron - again placing her in a leadership position.
