Advanced/Basic Camp Amnesty at CST
So on the day I arrived (9th REG), cadre told us that we could present any items that would be considered contraband and not get in trouble if they’re discarded. I felt that this was an attempt to catch cadets and give them a negative report. I am in D Co and have some items that I really want to turn in because I feel bad about compromising my integrity, but the cadre are tough to talk to. For example, I asked my PTO if we could get some additional training on land navigation before assessment and they happily trained us on DnC for hours. Does anyone have advice on how to approach this topic? Will sharing my snacks with my PTO help lessen the blow? I also lost my compass on the land navigation site and feel they’ll yell at me. I should feel comfortable coming to my cadre right? Anyways, I have to go down to formation and can’t find my headgear. Please drop your advice here please.
