Renamon is an Animal Digimon whose name and design are derived from "Renard" (Fra: Fox (Vulpes vulpes)). According to Chiaki J. Konaka's notes, Renamon was originally going to be named "Lunamon" (ルナモン?).[5] It has the appearance of a golden fox. Renamon is a Digimon whose relationship with humans is expressed bluntly, so depending on how it was raised during its time as an In-Training, it is said that it can digivolve to a Renamon of particularly high intelligence. As it is always calm, cool, and collected, it is practiced enough that it doesn't lose that composure in any situation. Its slender, tall appearance excels when compared with other Rookies, and rather than Power Battling, it makes sport of the enemy with various arts that use its speed.[6]

National Museum Cardiff
The National Museum is housed in an impressive building in the Civic Centre of Cardiff, an area in the northern part of the city centre. It is only a few minutes walk from the main shopping area and the castle.
The museum consists of three different parts: Natural history/geology, arts and archaeology. In addition, there are changing exhibitions.
I first went to the archaeological section which is located on the ground floor. This section was very interesting, it shows displays from palaeolithic times up to the Middle Ages. You can see many stone age tools, beautiful Bronze Age jewelry, Roman household stuff and much more. I really liked this part of the museum and spent much time there.
I then went to the art section, where there was a bit of a hustle bustle as a concert was about to take place and there were many children and young adults with their instruments who were all very excited. It was still possible to see some of the exhibitions, and I saw mainly historical paintings from Britain and the Netherlands. The exhibition is quite varied with different rooms on different topics, for example nature paintings, Welsh portraits, etc.
I did not like the geology section that much because it was very "modern", with many colours and interactive exhibits - I prefer the traditional style... In these rooms, and even more in the natural history rooms, there were also many stuffed animals which gives me the creeps, so I hurried along here and did not see much of it.
The changing exhibition when I visited was South for Science, about Robert Falcon Scott. This was very interesting, as I am fascinated by the Age of Arctic and Antarctic Exploration. The exhibition will be there until the 13th of May 2012. It focuses not only on the aspects of science involved, but also on very personal aspects of Scott's expeditions, showing many photographs and even original postcards and autographs. I found it very moving to read the names, signed by themselves, of the men who later met their terrible fate. Besides the archaeological section, this was definitely the part of the museum I enjoyed most.
There is of course also a café and a shop. The shop does not only sell souvenirs and books about the topics dealt with in the museum, but all kinds of books about Wales.
Admission to the museum is free!
Opening times: 10.00am to 05.00pm daily except mondays, open most bank holiday mondays. Last admission 04.45pm.

National Museum of Wales
I was surprised of the impressive collection of the National Museum of Wales(pic 1). It covers the Welsh history in general so you can see different exhibits from geology of the area to ancient items and modern art. Some evenings they organize music gigs or workshops but we just enjoyed the collection which had a big section dedicated to Asian art.
It is open Tuesday to Sunday 10.00-17.00 and there's no entrance fee.
Pics 2&3 were taken inside the museum. You can take pictures without flash.
On the left of National Museum stand 2 other impressive buildings:
1)The Cardiff Crown Court
2)Cardiff City Hall (pic 4) is probably the best of the 3 buildings in beautiful early Edwardian baroque style. It was built by Portland stone, opened in 1906, and if you can visit the first floor you will notice statues made by Pentelicon marble (yes, the same we have in Athens!)
At the back side is the small Cathays park, part of the University gardens so went there to ask for some nice pubs :) We took some more pictures of the University buildings (pic 5)- Architecture

National Museum & Gallery of Wales part I
In the National Museum & Gallery of Wales you will find an international art collection, a series of appealing science galleries and the Glanely Gallery (a fascinating hadns-on room especially for children).
In the natural history section is the complete skeleton of a humpback whale washed up in 1982. A lively 'Evolution of Wales' exhibit explains the land's global context, and includes a mammoth that waves its trunk and waggles its ears.- Historical Travel

National Museum
The National Museum was officially opened in 1927 and is situated in the heart of Cardiff's elegant civic centre Cathays Park. It houses Wales's National Archaeology, Art, Geology and Natural History Collections, as well as many major touring and small temporary exhibitions.

Museum and Art Gallery
Entry to the museum is free. The building itself is designed like so many I have seen with spacious ground floor, numerous side galleries and then an upper storey with galleries. When we were there , we spent most of our time at the ArteMondis exhibition which had been on for a month or so and was about to close. We also looked at some 18th century pottery and the evolution of Welsh civilization.
There is a cafe on the ground floor. Photography was not allowed at the ArtrMondis exhibition for copyright reasons, but permittd for personal research elsewhere.- Architecture

World class museum with stunning collections!
The Amgeddfa Cynedlaethol Cymru, or National Museum of Wales can be found amongst the Civic Buildings of Cardiff. It has a stunning collection of international (and welsh) paintings, sculpture and ceramics.
There are interactive displays of Welsh history, geology, flora and fauna (including dinosaurs!) which will keep the kids happy. All of this is FREE!!
I go every now and then to stare in wonder at the wonderful paintings. They range from the C15th to the present day. Some of the galleries concentrate on Welsh themes. But there are many internationally important figures represented. They include the French Impressionists, such as Monet, Renoir, Pisarro and Rodin. There are also C20th greats, such as Auerbach and Hockney. My favorite work is the panoramic view of London, by the Russian Expressionist Oscar Kokoshka.
There is also a pleasant cafe in the VAST main hall. And a restaurant, hidden further in the building. The museum staff are usually very knowledgable, and pleased to answer questions.
The Museum is one of the impressive civic buildings around Cathays Park. Spend some time admiring the City Hall, Law Courts and University Building while you are there.
The museum is open from every day except Monday, from 10am to 5pm. Check the website for details of visiting exhibitions.- Archeology

The National Museum & Gallery,
The National Museum & Gallery, Cardiff is unique among British museums and galleries in its range of art and science displays.
The Art Galleries provide magnificent settings for works by some of the world's most famous artists, including the Impressionists.- Family Travel
A great place to learn
What an amazing place to learn, take the kids or just wander around all the exhibitions. I remember going there as a kid with school and with my parents on those rainy saturday's in the winter!
Things have changed since then (for the better I must add) and you can easily spend a whole day or more looking around, trying the interactive exhibits out or taking a look at many of the art works on show.
The Art Galleries provide magnificent settings for works by some of the world's most famous artists, including the Impressionists.
The new Glanely Gallery is a hands-on interactive area with state of the art equipment to help you examine items from the Museum's collections that are normally hidden away, as well as hosting special events, workshops and talks.

There are archeology, geology and Natural history exhibitions on display together with an impressive Art Collection. During the year the Museum has a fantastic list of free events on subjects ranging from Archeology to Organ Recitals & childrens workshops.
During breeding season you may be lucky enough to catch sight of the Peregrine Falcons which nest on the roof of the nearby City Hall. The RSPB set up telescopes for you to see the young birds and there is also a webcam which can be seen in the foyer of the Museum.- Museum Visits
National Museum of Wales
The National Museum of Wales is a museum and a gallery. It's one of the three famous civic buildings, domed and pillared and surrounded by gardens, in the city center. The buildings were constructed around the turn of the 20th century and made of white Portland stone. The museum has a natural history section, and an archaeology section as well as an extensive collection of Porcelain and china. There is a very good collection of Impressionist and Post Impressionist paintings, a nice group of Rodin statues and sculptures and the best of modern Welsh art.
National Museum of Cardiff
This museum is in close proximity to the castle and can easily be including during a visit. Holds exhibits on Cultural, Natural and Political History. Frequently has special exhibits. There was one on Dinosaurs from China when I was there!

Directed by
Noah Baumbach
Noah Baumbach's ink-stained memoir is a heartbreaking and hilarious comedy of
The literary craze for tell-all family memoir gets a unique twist in Noah
Baumbach's The Squid and the Whale, a film à clef that satirically
dramatizes the disintegration of his parents' marriage. Tender, cruel, and
very funny, Baumbach's fourth feature turns family history into a sort of urban
myth. Although the Berkmans of mid-1980s Park Slope lack the quirky grandeur of
the Glass family or the
Royal Tenenbaums, they wander even more myopically in the land of
literary metaphor. Tennis functions as a metonym for relationships; the search
for a parking space is a free-floating trope. As the eldest Berkman son
poignantly brags, both his parents have Ph.D.'s in literature.

Comments: |
For a new film this is kind of an unremarkable transfer with poor bitrate. It is very dark, which I understand is how it appeared theatrically but it does exhibit some glossiness that I can't put my finger on. I assume the occasional light sepia tinting is also intentional. Subtitles are ghastly yellow and the advertised 'commentary' runs less than an hour to still images of the film - so it is not a commentary in the sense that you might expect. The 40 minute conversation with Baumbach is very good and the film itself is a near masterpiece - very highly recommended. GREAT film folks! |

The Working Group constituted in the year 2000 by the Government of India for revalidating the potential of marine fishery resources of the country's Exclusive Economic Zone estimated the potential yield as 3.93 million tonnes obtainable annually from the EEZ including 2.05 lakh tonnes of bivalves and gastropods and 1.01 lakh tonnes of deep-sea finfish and crustacean resources not indicated in the earlier revalidation done in the year 1991. The Working Group has observed that the bulk of additional harvestable yield is expected from the demersal resources from the shelf area such as large species of perches, deepsea and oceanic squids and the tunas and allied species from the EEZ. These resources could be effectively tapped employing fishing techniques such as traps and Potential Yield from Indian EEZ.

The state's low voter turnout is largely because too many elections are scheduled per year, Secretary of State Tom Schedler
told members of the Kiwanis Club of Lake Charles on Tuesday.
"Aside from presidential elections, voter turnout is dismal at best," he said. "It is truly an embarrassment. We're very used
to elections on top of elections."
Schedler, the state's chief elections officer, said Louisiana held 70 elections from January 2005 to January 2010 — the most
nationwide. The No. 2 state, Georgia, held 38 elections.
"When we have that many, the importance of elections gets diminished," he said.
Of those 70 elections, Schedler said,
32 were items for state legislators who did not finish their terms. He
said the Legislature
passed a bill in 2010 requiring those posts to be filled in the
next available election, cutting back the number of special
elections held each year.
Schedler said he is reviewing local elections and propositions that are voted on frequently, like tax renewals. He said fewer
elections would cut organization costs and would hopefully improve voter turnout.
Schedler said the removal of voters from the rolls is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the process. It is done every
two years, and it is against the law to take anyone off the voting log 90 days before a federal election.
He said the voter registrars in each parish are required by federal and state law to review voter rolls each year. The state
has 84 percent of its eligible voters registered — fourth best in the nation. Schedler said the state's election system is
consistent, including the type of voting machines used.
In 1997, Louisiana became the third
state to require a photo ID before a person could vote. Schedler said
the state is unique
in that if people do not have an ID, they can answer a series of
questions on an affidavit to verify their identity. During
the 2008 federal election, he said only one verifying affidavit
was questioned.
The free mobile application from www.geauxvote.com allows people to change their party affiliation and their mailing address
and locate their voting precinct, Schedler said.
He said that he, along with other
secretaries of state, recently visited several countries in the Middle
East to meet with
the military and find out how the overseas voter program was
working. He said he came up with the "Honor Vets. Vote." program,
where a vote pays tribute to a veteran.
The secretary of state works with clerks of court and voter registrars in each parish during elections.

Ned: Do you want me to spank them?
MAY 28, 2013 10:35p ET
As Royals manager Ned Yost was finishing his postgame press conference following a dismal 4-1 loss to St. Louis, he was asked how he was going to hold his struggling offense accountable for another miserable (just two hits against rookie Tyler Lyons) performance.
Yost answered, "What are you asking me to do? Take my belt off and spank them? Yell at them? Scream at them? What do you want?
"These kids, every day we go through the process. We're talking constantly about approach. I understand your question. Do we need to make changes? This can't continue. Somewhere down the road, yeah, we're going to have to make some changes."
The Royals' woeful offense has hit just two home runs since May 14 – both by Miguel Tejada. To put that in perspective, Chicago Cubs pitchers have hit more home runs (three) in that span than Royals hitters.
Yes, it's that bad, as the Royals now have lost 18 of their past 22 games. In their last 14 losses, they have managed just 29 runs.
Tuesday may have been a new low. The Royals managed just two hits – both by Billy Butler -- off Lyons, who earlier this month gave up six hits and two runs to the Royals' Triple-A team in Omaha.
The Royals dropped to 21-28, and are sinking quickly toward last place in the AL Central.
"But again, it's a 162-game season," Yost said. "You look at where the Oakland A's were last season. They were at the All-Star break and totally written off and counted out. Look where they finished.
"Once this team comes together, and if it ever does, and I believe it will, we are going to be in pretty good shape. Right now, you got to continue to let them grow. Are changes coming if this continues? Yeah, I would imagine there would be. Yes. We can't continue this. But to grab them, shake them, yell at them, scream at them, threaten to (send) them down right now, it doesn't do the trick.
"You have to continue to stay and work hard. Hopefully, sooner or later, they're going to get it and they're going to catch fire and we're going to get going."

Cydonia's stunt kite design tool |

Cydonia: Hi all, I would like to suggest you a tool which allowed to design a stunt kite. http://www.petithomme.be/cv4/index.php?post/2012/04/20/outils-d-aide-%C3%A0-la-conception-d-un-cerf-volant-2-lignes&navlang=en in this excel file you can find Ian's reflexion about the balance and some key values to design. Please don't hesitate to give me your feedback about tool. design with excel 2010 Cydonia |
Cydonia: more than 100 views and no response or remarks. :'( |
DD: it looks interesting enough. Im just not a design phase with kites yet, heck i can barely sew Thanks for posting it! |
Ca Ike: Looks promising but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Just added it to the list of things to check out. |
chilese: There are many reasons why your spreadsheet hasn't garnered more interest. 1 This Forum is more kite flier than kite builder. Yes, we have several people who build kites, but most of us just fly them. 2 Not everyone has a spreadsheet program. 3 Your spreadsheet contains macros, which I avoid, regardless of the source. 4 Many people start with a kite design they like and make mods based on how they want that kite to alter its habits. 5 Some of the purists may want to keep hold of a notion that kite making is more of an art than a science. 6 Have you tried the Kite Builder's Forum for feedback? And on a personal note, have you put in factors from known designs (Nirvana, TNT, etc) to see how closely they fit to the program? I use spreadsheets on a regular basis, and while the program appears straight forward, the use of macros and my own resistance to building will keep me from looking into it. Thank you for posting. :) |

The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets (VTCC) is the military component of the student body at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Cadets live together in dormitories, march to meals in formation, wear a distinctive uniform on campus, and receive an intensive military and leadership educational experience that they think is similar to the United States service academies. The Corps of Cadets has existed from the founding of the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1872 to the present-day institution of Virginia Tech, which is designated a senior military college by federal law.[2]
The Corps provides leadership training for all of its cadets. A cadet will have the opportunity to receive an academic minor in Leadership when they graduate through the Rice Center for Leader Development which is in the Pamplin School of Business. This is a unique endeavor in Senior Military Colleges.
While not mandatory for membership in the Corps, many members of the Cadet Corps also participate in the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and become commissioned officers in the U.S. Military upon graduation. Around 80% of the corps' graduates choose to participate in ROTC and receive a commission in the military as officers after graduation. If a cadet is enrolled in an ROTC program at Virginia Tech, they must also be enrolled in the Corps of Cadets. However, a cadet does not have to be enrolled in an ROTC program in order to participate in the corps. There are a few exceptions made for active duty enlisted students participating in programs like the Army's Green to Gold program.
Women entered the VTCC in the Fall of 1973 and created a single unit called L Squadron. By 1979, women were integrated into the line companies, though they still lived separately from the males in their units. In 1981 that changed and the dorms became co-ed and women were allowed to live in the same unit area as their male counterparts. In 1987, the first female Regimental Commanding Officer (CO) was appointed. To date, the Corps has had 4 female Regimental Commanding Officers. Today the Corps is nearly 14% female and females hold a number of positions throughout the Corps.
Early years of the Corps[edit]
On October 1, 1872, Virginia Tech opened as the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College (VAMC). All students were cadets organized into a battalion of two companies with an enrollment of 132. The Commandant of Cadets was General James H. Lane, formerly the youngest general in the Army of Northern Virginia, who was wounded three times in combat. He worked to provide both the best education and the best military training in the state for his cadets based on his experience in the Civil War, and as a student and teacher at VMI and UVA, and as a teacher at Florida State Seminary and North Carolina Military Institute.
General Lane is considered the father of the Corps. He wrote the first cadet regulations and began the tradition of academic and military excellence. In 1878, VAMC President Charles Minor wanted to do away with the strict military requirements. Lane opposed him and their disagreement became so heated that a faculty meeting ended with a fistfight between the two. Both left campus in the ensuing scandal, but the Corps remained.
The VAMC cadets made their first Corps trip in 1875 to Richmond to the dedication of the Lee Monument. Over the years, the Corps has made many trips. These trips were more frequent in the early years including the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York in 1901 and the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. In 1880, political mismanagement from Richmond contributed to enrollment dropping to just 78 cadets. But in the ensuing years, enrollment and educational opportunities were expanded. E Battery, manning four Civil War artillery pieces with upper classmen, existed between 1883 and 1907.
In 1896 VAMC, through an act of the Virginia Legislature, changed its name to the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute. The name was quickly abbreviated in common usage to VPI. Also that same year a tradition began that lasted nearly three-quarters of a century, the VPI-VMI annual football game in Roanoke. Known as the Military Classic of the South, the annual Corps trips and associated parades ended in 1970.
Spanish American War service[edit]
In 1898, with the outbreak of the Spanish American War, the VPI Corps of Cadets formally volunteered to the governor for combat service. This request was declined, but most of the VPI Cadet band and their director enlisted as the Band of the 2nd Virginia Infantry Regiment. Many alumni served in the Spanish American War and the Philippine Insurrection. One alumnus (A.M. Gaujot. Class of 1901) was awarded the Medal of Honor during the Philippine-American War and another cited for gallantry at the Battle of Santiago de Cuba. The Gaujot brothers remain the only two brothers in American history to receive the Medal of Honor for actions in two separate wars.
The VPI Cadet Band had first been organized in 1892. Prior to that, as early as 1883, music was provided by the "Glade Cornet Band," an organization made up of townspeople. The summer of 1902 saw the VPI Cadet Band serve as part of the 70th Virginia Infantry during large-scale national military maneuvers held in Manassas, Virginia. The VPI Cadet Band has been referred to as the Highty-Tighties since 1921.
World War I[edit]
With the approach of World War I, the ROTC was established at Virginia Tech. In January 1917, Infantry ROTC was established followed shortly by Engineer and Coast Artillery. During the war, Virginia Tech became an army post. Cadets were inducted and became enlisted men of the Student Army Training Battalion and its Navy detachment. They wore Army and Navy uniforms during this period. Two Army training detachments of between 226 and 308 men each operated on campus.
CPT. J.W.G. Stephens (class of 1915), of the 26th Infantry, led the first American forces "over on top" in combat near Montdidier, France. Many alumni served with distinction with the 1st, 2nd, 29th, and 80th Divisions, all of which saw heavy combat. Note must be made of Major Lloyd W. Williams (class of 1907), US Marine Corps. One of the famous quotes of the war, used for years as a Marine standard, was attributed to him. "Retreat, Hell No!" was his reply to the French orders to retreat his company. His company held its ground, but he was killed in the action and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. In the air, alumni, even as World War I foreshadowed VPI's contribution to the Air Force, CPL Robert G. Eoff (class of 1918), French Foreign Legion, attached to the 157 French Fighter Squadron shot down the first of 6 enemy aircraft credited to Techmen. LT John R. Castleman (class of 1919) was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (United States) for heroism in completing an aerial reconnaissance in spite of the attack of 12 enemy aircraft, two of which he shot down.
VPI's contribution to the war effort during World War I included 2,297 men in uniform. These included 2,155 in the Army, 125 in the Navy, 19 in the Marine Corps, 6 in the Coast Guard, 1 in the British Army and 1 in the French Foreign Legion. One alumnus (Earle D. Gregory, Class of 1921) was awarded the Medal of Honor, seven the Distinguished Service Cross (United States), and one the Navy Cross. At least eight were awarded the Silver Star. Twenty-six died in service and another twenty-six were wounded. Based on this, VPI was designated as one of twelve 'Distinguished Colleges' by the War Department.
After World War I, veterans affected the Corps and VPI at large, both as new and returning cadets. In 1921, women were admitted to VPI as civilian students and attended classes as day students. The next year the Corps was reorganized into a regiment of two battalions. Two years later (1923) military service as a cadet was reduced from four years to two; however, after two years of the camaraderie of Corps life very few cadets chose to convert to civilian student status. During the national rail strike of 1923 the corps again volunteered to the Virginia Governor for active military service. They were not called upon.
A Third Battalion was added to the regiment by 1927. Rapid growth followed as Virginia Tech's reputation as both an outstanding academic and military institution grew. In 1939, a Fourth Battalion was added.
World War II years[edit]
During World War II, academic sessions and the Corps operated on a twelve-month cycle. The Corps had grown to a brigade of 2,650 cadets consisting of two regiments with a total of five battalions. The First Battalion was primarily Infantry ROTC. The Second Battalion was Engineer ROTC and the Third, Fourth and Fifth consisted of Cadet Batteries taking Coast Artillery ROTC. Because of the war, seniors were graduated and commissioned early. Juniors were on an accelerated schedule and brought on active duty. Finally, sophomores and freshmen over 18 were largely inducted into military service. The Corps soon numbered under 300 and was organized into a single battalion.
During the war, the Commandant of Cadets, in addition to the cadet battalion, supervised a unit of the Army Specialized Training Program and Army Specialized Training Reserve Program (ASTRP) (soldiers under 18 years of age) and a Navy pre-flight-training unit. These units included many former cadets, and adopted many of the traditions of the Corps, including the Honor Code and saluting the Rock. The young men of the ASRTP were actually uniformed in cadet gray. Once again VPI was largely an active duty military installation.
Edward H. "Buddy" Dance was the President of the Corps of Cadets in the graduating class of 1942. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army Air Corps but quickly rose to the rank of Major in the Air Force. He flew many missions and then taught others how to fly and fight in the air.
During World War II, 7,285 alumni served in uniform. The army had 5,941 men, the navy 1,095, 110 in the Marine Corps, 29 in the Merchant Marine, 23 in the Coast Guard, and one in the Royal Air Force. These included ten Brigadier Generals, five Major Generals, and one Rear Admiral. Three hundred twenty-three died, five were awarded the Medal of Honor, seven the Distinguished Service Cross, two the Navy Cross, at least 73 the Silver Star, and 94 the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Following World War II, returning veterans were not required to serve in the Corps and the great influx of veterans swelled the number of civilian students. Civilian students out-numbered cadets for the first time in 1946. That same year Air Force ROTC was introduced to Virginia Tech. Initially civilian-cadet relations were not good as most veterans were attending Virginia Tech for the first time. Thanks to the regimental commander, Cadet Robertson (class of 1949), a World War II Coast Guard veteran, greater understanding was promoted among his fellow veterans and the Corps continued to grow and flourish.
During the following years the Corps would expand again back to a regiment and eventually organize into four battalion-size units. The Cadet 1st Battalion was housed at Radford Army Arsenal for two years at "Rad-Tech." There, in World War II Army barracks, the cadets lived and took many of their classes. For unavailable classes, a fleet of buses brought them back to the main campus. As new dorms were completed the battalion returned to campus.
Korean War[edit]
During the Korean War, 1,867 corps alumni served, of whom 30 died in service. During the war, First Lieutenant Richard Thomas Shea, Jr. (Class of 1949) received the Medal of Honor posthumously for his actions at Pork Chop Hill as a company commander. In 1952, the university employed a retired general as the Commandant of Cadets. This was a departure from policy since 1884, where the senior active duty military instructor functioned as commandant.
1950s, 1960s, and 1970s[edit]
In 1958, Virginia Tech became the first traditionally white southern college to graduate an African American, with the graduation of Cadet Charles Yates (class of 1958).
In a move to expand educational opportunities at Virginia Tech, the board of visitors made participation in the Corps completely voluntary starting in 1964. However the taking of ROTC continued to require Corps membership. The Vietnam War period saw unrest on campus outside the Corps ranks. In 1970 demonstrations were conducted with the aim of halting Corps drill. Cowgill and Williams Hall were occupied and over 100 students were arrested. Other incidents occurred including the suspected arson of an on-campus building. Civilian-cadet relations were at an all-time low. Throughout all of this, the Corps maintained discipline and high esprit.
The post-Vietnam years saw the Corps numbers decline and reorganization to a two-battalion sized regiment. In 1973, Virginia Tech was among the first Corps of Cadets in the nation to enroll women, assigning them to L Squadron. In 1975, the first female cadet was assigned to Band Company. In 1979, L Squadron was disbanded and female cadets were integrated into the line companies. In 1991, the Cadet dormitories became coed.
1980s and beyond[edit]
The freshman "Rat System" converted to the "New Cadet System" in the fall of 1981. Naval ROTC was established in 1983. The cadet regiment expanded to a three-battalion structure in 1998. Today the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets is one of six senior military colleges outside the five federal military academies. Virginia Tech is one of only three universities in the nation that maintains a full-time military environment within a larger civilian university; the others are Texas A&M and University of North Georgia.
The Corps at Virginia Tech has seen many turbulent years and weathered them all. Since the Spanish American War, the corps has provided officers to the U.S. military. Most recently, the War in Iraq has seen three alumni killed. The valor of Corps alumni is legendary, with seven Medal of Honor recipients, and eighteen recipients of the nation's second highest award for valor, the Distinguished Service Cross or Navy Cross. The Corps exemplifies in many ways the University motto, "Ut Prosim"—that I may serve.[3]
The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets (VTCC) is a cadet-run organization, consisting of approximately 1000 members (as of fall 2013), and is modeled on an Army infantry regiment structure. The Cadet Corps is supervised by a senior leadership staff who establish cadet regulations and enforce base line guidance for the running of the cadet corps. The day-to-day corps activities, however, are run primarily by the cadets.
Senior leadership[edit]
The senior leadership is provided by the Commandant of Cadets, who is appointed by Virginia Tech and is a paid faculty member. The Commandant is typically a retired Major General from either the Army or Air Force. Of note, the VTCC has never had a Commandant from the Navy or the Marine Corps.
The Commandant is assisted by three Deputy Commandants who oversee the cadet battalions and one Deputy Commandant for Leader Development. There is also an Assistant Commandant of Cadets for Recruiting and an Assistant Commandant for Alumni Development. The Commandant of Cadets is assisted by an Executive Officer, typically a recent civilian track corps graduate who assists in administrative matters and also serves as the Traveling Recruiter. A Resident Life Coordinator is also assigned to the Corps in order to be a liaison between the University and the Corps.
In recent news, positions designated as "Battalion Training NCOs" have been established. The preferred NCOs are retired E-9's to mentor cadets on NCO responsibilities as well as to aid the Deputy Commandants.
The Director of the Regimental Band, the Highty Tighties, is also a member of the Commandant's Staff and is normally appointed from the officer ranks of the Virginia Militia.

a"From the day of its founding to the present Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University has had a commandant of cadets. The session of 1880-1882 is unique however. The Board of Visitors failed to appoint either a commandant or a president. Acting President Hart thereupon appointed a senior cadet as acting commandant and permitted this individual to select other seniors as acting assistant commandants. With this one exception all commandants have been appointed by the Board of Visitors."[4]

Up until the Fall of 2008, all senior cadets were granted the rank of Cadet 2nd Lieutenant regardless of whether they had a billet, unless they had shown substandard performance. Additionally, all seniors were entitled to wear a gold chin strap on their cover regardless of rank and had the privilege to carry a saber. During that semester, the regulations were changed so that only seniors with a requisite billet would be cadet officers. All other seniors would maintain enlisted cadet rank and would no longer be allowed to wear a gold chin strap or carry a saber. The regulations were again changed in the Fall of 2014, and presently, all seniors without a command billet that would rate a higher rank are given the rank of C/2LT.
A cadet of any class year who commits a serious infraction may be reduced in rank to cadet private, which carries no insignia, or cadet sergeant, 1 rocker and 1 chevron.
The modern freshman training system[edit]
Before classes[edit]
Freshman cadets are required to report to Virginia Tech a week before the start of classes for training, also known as New Cadet Week. During this week, the new cadets are trained in drill with and without a weapon and also receive physical training to help prepare them for the rigors of leadership and the upcoming stresses of the academic year. The week ends on Saturday with the New Cadet Parade, where the new cadets march under arms for their families and university staff, as well as a crowd of friends and fellow Virginia Tech students moving on to campus. The parade is intended to display the change in the new cadets and their acquisition of military knowledge and discipline. After this event, the new cadets are given approximately 30 hours of pass so they can stay overnight off-campus with their families. During this freshman pass, the returning upperclass who were not cadre move into their rooms in Upper Quad and Lower Quad (Brodie Hall, Rasche Hall, Thomas, Moneith, and Main and West Eggleston).
Red Phase[edit]
The cadet training system at Virginia Tech has evolved through the decades, with each iteration seeking to improve the quality of leader produced by the program. Beginning with the class of 2004, the current cadet training system was implemented. The new cadets officially begin Red Phase upon returning from pass at 1830 (6:30 pm) for their first study hours Sunday evening. A freshman cadet typically has eight-and-a-half hours of unstructured time during a weekday in which to attend classes, study, run errands, and workout. Red Phase, like the color red, is the most intense phase, and the new cadets continue to be trained by their cadre (juniors and seniors who were specifically trained to train the freshmen). They will be expected to learn topics from The Guidon, the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets book of knowledge and will be quizzed on topics from the Guidon during "Freshmen Online", more commonly referred to as "onlines". Onlines are conducted Monday through Thursday and last for one-half hour. Onlines typically go away at the end of Red Phase. To delineate the phases, the cadets and cadre go on the Caldwell March, envisioned as the direct replacement for "Turn Day". The Caldwell March is named after the first student at Virginia Tech, William Addison Caldwell, and there is a statue of him by Brodie Hall on campus. William Addison walked 26 miles (42 km) to be the first student at Virginia Tech, and to commemorate this historic walk, the Caldwell March was begun. The march is broken into two 13-mile (21 km) hikes, the first 13 miles (21 km) are completed at the end of Red Phase, and Homer Hickam, whose life the movie October Sky is based upon, occasionally joins the cadets on this momentous hike. The hike begins at the Caldwell Homestead, which is still lived in today, and follows along parts of the Appalachian Trail, before ending at a park named after the Caldwell brothers. This usually takes place in October and the fall foliage adds to the spectacular views in marking the end of the arduous Red Phase. It is the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors' policy, that any freshmen or transfer cadets who leave the corps before the end of Red Phase (which is usually defined by the university's last day to drop classes in the fall semester and completion of the Caldwell March), must leave the university and begin again in the Spring (they do not have to re-apply).
White Phase[edit]
White Phase begins after the Caldwell March in October and lasts until the conclusion of Military Weekend in February. During White Phase, freshman cadets attend Cadet Leader School taught by the Commandant's Staff and upperclassman cadets. During the Thursday afternoon period reserved normally for the Corps of Cadets lab, freshmen are educated in leadership responsibilities and roleplay scenarios to learn solutions to different situations. Freshman cadets are evaluated during this time for their competence as Fire Team Leaders. White Phase normally terminates at the annual Military Ball during Military Weekend (typically in the middle of February). At the beginning of Blue Phase, freshmen cadets are rewarded new privileges and continue in their transition from followership to leadership. Marking the end of freshmen year is the second phase of the Caldwell March. After successful completion of the march, the freshman cadets are "turned" to upperclassman status for the remainder of the year. During this period, the freshman cadets will be partially integrated into their future companies, providing them with valuable acclimation time in order to prepare themselves for their sophomore challenges.[6]
