We should have known from the gleam in their eyes and the inaudible murmurings
among themselves that unusual things were being planned for us on this -- "Black
Friday". Certainly it is a big day to look forward to in true Officer
Candidate School tradition. On this day we hand over the reins to the newly born
First Class and the roles are switched. During the preceding week we have exercised
our last opportunities in training our Second Class. It is now their turn to
administer training to the Graduating Class in the typical Officer Candidate School
fashion. And administer it they did. We have no doubt in their ability to
carry on the high standards and concepts in keeping with the Officer Candidate School.
We feel deep pride in our part of producing the new "First Class".
