Tornado or not, this is always good advice, whether you're a college student, office worker or CEO. FWIW, the Army does indeed lose 201 files and you military people should have copies of your paperwork in your own personal family file away from the military.
Perhaps you gleaned this information from another source, but this particular story did not include any of that info. Here is part of the story at the source that was omitted from the excerpting process for FR posting purposes:
In a statement issued in response to concern about Caple’s punishment, the school explained that the decision was due to the fact that they saw Caple’s words as an attempt to stir up trouble.I'm sure there is more to the story on both sides. Perhaps the school overreacted in excluding this future community organizer from its graduation ceremony; and perhaps this fine young man is just a spoiled little punk that likes to stir up controversy and prevent solutions when others are trying to work through issues and resolve problems. Perhaps the real truth is somewhere in the middle.“At a time when the College staff was working diligently to ensure the well being of all students, Mr. Caple, a senior, chose to attempt to create chaos,” the school wrote in a statement. “It is important to note that Mr. Caple is a student who resides off campus and therefore, was not present on campus throughout the tornado or its aftermath.”
The college added that they had had past troubles with Caple, but were not prepared to share them at this time.
“Throughout his matriculation, there were more incidents involving Mr. Caple that factored into the College’s decision, however, because of FERPA [Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act] constraints, that information cannot be disclosed,” the school added. “The posts to Facebook during this time left the administration with no other choice other than to exclude him from the actual commencement exercise.”
He should have said that in English like you did instead of the punk jibberish that he used.
