Reporting In and Out Procedures
1) For a single cadet ordered into an office, reporting procedures are as follows:
a) Center on the door or cubicle entrance and knock once (loud enough to be heard in an average size room). Do not knock on the door or cubicle wall if a conversation is taking place in the office.
b) When given the order, enter, close the door (if you opened it), march using the most direct route to the staff member, perform the appropriate facing movement, (if on carpet, turn in a crisp military manner), center yourself two paces away from the individual, salute if reporting to an officer and state: "Sir/Ma'am, Cadet (last name) reports as ordered."
c) When reporting to an officer, the reporting cadet will hold the salute until the officer drops their salute and remain at the position of attention until told otherwise.
d) At the end of a conversation, cadets will stand and assume the position of attention (if at a different position) and ask, "Will that be all sir/ma'am?" If so, take one step backwards, salute (if reporting to officers) and render the proper greeting of the day, perform the appropriate facing movement to leave, and take the most direct route out of the office or cubicle (if on carpet, turn in a crisp, military manner).
2) When multiple cadets are ordered into an office, reporting procedures are as follows:
a) A selected cadet will center on the door or cubicle entrance and knock once (loud enough to be heard in an average size room). Do not knock on the door or cubicle wall if a conversation is taking place in the office.
b) When given the order, enter, close the door (if you opened it or are directed to do so), march using the most direct route to the staff member, perform the appropriate facing movement, (if on carpet, turn in a crisp, military manner)< all cadets will center two paces away from the individual with a selected cadet standing on the right and salute (if officer). This cadet will state on behalf of the others, "Sir/Ma'am, Cadets (give last names of the whole party) report as ordered."
c) All cadets will hold the salute (if officer) until the officer drops their salute and remain at the position of attention until told otherwise.
d) At the end of the conversation, all will stand and assume the position of attention (if at a different position) and the selected cadet will ask, "Will that be all sir/ma'am?" If so, all cadets will take one step backwards, salute (if reporting to officers) and the selected cadet will render the proper greeting of the day. All cadets will perform the appropriate facing movement to leave, and take the most direct route out of the office or cubicle. (If on carpet, turn in a crisp, military manner.)
3) If a cadet is not ordered to report, but needs to see a staff member in their cubicle or office to make a statement or ask a question, the cadet will use the preceding procedures with the following exception: instead of using the above reporting statement, use the appropriate remarks: "Sir/Ma'am, Cadet (last name) reports." Once acknowledged by the staff member, the cadet will continue with the question or statement.
