The Coast Guard Academy Corps of Cadets is scheduled to march in five regimental reviews at the Coast Guard Academy here during the Spring semester. The community is invited to attend all drills, which are free and open to the public. Bleachers are available and are located in front of Hamilton Hall with a view of the Washington Parade Field where the ceremony takes place. In the event of foul weather, reviews will be cancelled or moved to an indoor location. Regimental reviews are part of military traditions and ceremonies which serve to develop poise, confidence, speaking skills, teamwork and leadership. Moreover, it provides a valuable means of recognizing military heritage and pride in the Coast Guard. Media is invited to attend all reviews. Photographs are encouraged. Changes to the review schedule and reviewing officials can be made without prior notice.
The Corps of Cadets Regimental Review Schedule is as follows:
Friday, 8 April, 4:05 PM
Thursday, 14 April, 4:05 PM
Friday, 22 April, 4:05 PM
Sunday, 15 May, 7:30 PM
Tuesday, 17 May, 9:00 AM
