2. Food and Drink: Food and drinks are allowed during normal class times so long as they do not
become a distraction. Please refrain from eating and drinking during any presentations by fellow
classmates. I also expect everyone to be responsible and clean up after themselves.
3. Military protocol: Cadets - observe military customs and courtesies at all times. Call the room to
attention when the instructor (or a military officer senior to your instructor) enters or leaves the room. If
an officer senior to your instructor enters the room during a lecture from your instructor, do not call the
room to attention. Non-Cadets – are not required to come to attention, but please stand along with their
classmates for uniformity.
4. Uniform: Uniform wear is not mandatory for each class period (but dress will be according to the Det
925 Commander’s discretion). When giving a formal presentation (briefing), cadets will be required to
wear their a blues uniform.
5. Cell phones: Cell phones will not be allowed in the classroom. There will be a designated place for
you to leave them while in class. This is to simulate a real military briefing environment.
6. Assignments: Aside from exams and classroom participation, you will be required to write a 1-page
minimum Background Paper (see the Tongue & Quill for format) on an Airpower topic of your choosing.
This is a great opportunity for you to further research an interest area of yours in greater depth. In the
past, popular topics included aircraft, career fields, famous Air Force figures, or famous Air Force
campaigns or battles. You will also give a 3-5 minute briefing on the same topic.
