The freshmen from CS-12 (my squad) made a spirit video for their day of 40 days. It was actually pretty decent and got a round of applause from the cadet wing in Mitchell Hall. Video after the jump.
A little background on why this was made. During the second semester, the four degrees get recognized, where they become "accepted" into the cadet wing. It's an intense three days of strenuous physical training and psychological warfare (sort of). It all concludes with the pinning on of the prop and wings, which solidifies them as an upperclassman. Recognition begins on Thursday March 15th this year. Leading up to recognition, the four degrees go through "Forty Days." It's a time when training becomes more intense and the upperclassmen become stricter and increasingly demanding of the freshmen. Each day corresponds with a squadron and on their day, the four degrees do a spirit mission. Recently, there have been less physical spirit missions such as painting the planes, building something on spirit hill, etc, and more spirit videos. Only about 1 in 10 is actually worth watching. If their spirit missions are not up to expectations, the freshmen can expect harder training. It's all in good fun though.
