Its finally over!!!

[Grant 1st MRB]

Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for all year. Its Recognition Day, my knob year, and subsequently the hardest year of my life will come to an end.

The upperclassmen will recognize us and we will become normal people again, YAY! I will definitely post pictures here after tomorrow is over. It starts tomorrow morning at 5:30.

....lolwut?

[Grant 1st MRB]

Yeah... maybe I should clarify. At the Citadel the fourth class system is something that all freshman go through. Every major service academy across the country has their own fourth class system but ours runs the longest. And tomorrow all of that ends. I will be finished with my knob year! To give you an idea of what I will be doing, watch this:

Ahh, I didn't realize you were at a service academy, hence the confusion.

I remember my best friend went to West Point, and he told me horror stories about being a freshman there. He is a senior now, but still, lots of horror stories haha.

I guess I did the "smart" thing and went enlisted :-P.

You mean break out the booze day lol

[Grant 1st MRB]

Lol thanks guys, I am now officially not a knob any more!!! And the term "knob" comes from door knob. It comes from us shaving our heads bald and resembling door knobs. Lol. But I would rather be called a knob then a "Rat" (VMI's freshman) I will post pictures soon!

[Bryant 1st MRB]

ull always resemble a door knob to me ;D

The videos are made by the Citadel itself, I am in Hotel company and we are in a few segments of the videos. What we are going through in the videos is called the Gauntlet. However, this was around 10:00am. Our day started at 5:30 with a two and a half hour Regimental PT session and then the worst breakfast I have ever eaten. All in all this was an awesome day and I am so happy that it is all finally over.
