Cadet in the Red Sash
“R-Day” is the day that each new class reports to become cadets. Kids come from all 50 states and certain allied countries to begin the crucible of Beast Barracks. Looking back, it is not all that much of a crucible compared to life, but it is enough to be transformative to 18-year old kids who have not yet lived life, or to 21-year old prior service sergeants who only think they have lived life up to that point.
