Second thoughts concerning a meeting with the incoming A&M Sophomore cadet class.

Show film of the academies and Senior Military Colleges "passing the baton" Final Review ceremonies (1st Pass, 2nd Pass...and conduct of graduating Seniors during that second pass).

If a 2nd Pass circus atmospheres occur elsewhere then no big deal. If not ?

Then it is a big deal for the Trigon !

I agree with the OP, parking situation was cluster****.

It does matter what the dead zips do at Final Review on 2nd pass.

When I look back at my 2nd pass (dead zips out of Alpha Summer shirts, into outfit t-shirts, and the lack of clear discipline of us as the reviewing officers) versus photographs of Final Review 20 years earlier (dead zips still in Alpha Summers, well ordered), it makes me wish we had done better. Our photographs would have been better. Our memories would have been better.

(the differences bring to mind how red ass the photo was last year of the Boot Line merged with the 1940 Boot Line photo - another "man, I wish we had done that.")

Having heard pros and cons of Final Review on the Drill Field, where mine took place in '86. I watched a Final review in Kyle on Youtube.

I definitely prefer it to remain on the Drill Field. Much better surroundings than an empty Kyle Field.

Would certainly like to know exactly WHO was originally responsible for moving Final Review from Simpson to Kyle Field.

Terrible decision.
