Life at Fishburne Military School

• By Cadet Sergeant Richard Michael Gay
• Class of 2008

2
Morning Wake Up

• Waking up in the morning is hard, because you
  must get up and be prepared to start classes.
• The usual wake up time is 0600, but some people
  like to get up at 0530, which is the best,
  because you have more time to get your personal
  hygiene done.

3
BRC

• BRC stands for Breakfast Roll Call. Most of us do
  not like that. We just want our FOOD!! That comes
  later.
• We fall into formation and the Battalion
  Commander, or who ever is in charge will take
  report of all who are there.
• After roll call, every company marches past the
  staff and around to the mess hall.

4

• We fall out into the mess hall and stand behind
  our chairs at attention.
• We wait until the officers march in, the
  Commandant has no further messages, and prayer is
  over.
• Then, the mess hall OD (Officer of the Day) will
  call companies to go eat.
• After a while, the OD calls companies to take
  their plates to the back then we stand at
  attention again until dismissed.

Breakfast

Room CQ

• Room CQ means we all go to our rooms and clean
  them so we can pass inspection and have power (to
  our electronics) for the rest of the day.
• Cleaning the rooms is not the hard part, it is
  keeping them clean after you walk in and out so
  many times before inspection.

6
RELEASE

• Release is time for all cadets to come out of
  room CQ and time to walk out to the stoops or go
  to the bathrooms and clean. The stoops and the
  bathrooms also get inspected. If either one
  fails, your Company Commander will usually
  discipline the company and, trust me, the
  consequences are never fun.

7
First Call Classes Fall in 5 Minutes!

• First call means that it is time to go to class.
• Here at Fishburne we follow a six period
  schedule.
• Dont worry, all of the classes are 45 minutes
  long and some of the teachers are cool. You get 5
  minutes between classes.
• The class part of the day will go by very fast.

8
Hurry Call!

• At the Hurry Call bell, youd better quicken your
  pace.
• Being late is not allowed, so youd better HURRY!

9
One Minute!

• At this bell, if you are still on the stoops,
  youd better be running, because you will be in
  huge trouble if you are late at all to any
  classes.
• Basically, run your heart out at this bell.
• My point isGET TO CLASS ON TIME!

10
Fall in All Classes

• At this bell, everyone should be in their
  classes. If not, I feel sorry for you.
• If you are absent class, you will get tours and
  detention. If you do get tours have fun, because
  there are a lot of other things you could do with
  your time.

11
LRC

• LRC stands for Lunch Roll Call.
• This formation is like BRC except for the fact
  that you know that you only have one more class
  after lunch and you are done for the day.

12
Room CQ

• This room CQ is the best, because you can sleep
  for about 30 minutes or you can play on your
  computer, watch a movie, or hang with your
  friends.
• This is your time to relax. Do with it as you
  want, but remember to use your time wisely.

13
Release

• At the release bell it is time to go to your
  sixth and final class of the day.
• Dont worry, the last class of the day goes by
  really fast.
• At 1355, classes are released and, well, classes
  are finally over for the day.

14
Help Class

• Help Class starts after all of your classes are
  over.
• At Help Class, you go to a certain teacher in
  whose class you are having trouble and you get
  help. The teachers are very helpful.

15
Accountability Formation

• You will know when to go to accountability
  formation because it is the next five minute bell
  you will hear after help class.
• All the cadets fall out in their companies and
  the officers do roll call and assign detention
  and tours.
• Also, this formation is where cadet of the month,
  company of the month, promotions, demotions and
  stuff like that takes place.

16
Sports

• After accountability formation, and sometimes at
  1530, it is time for sports.
• In the fall and winter Fishburne offers
  Football, Soccer, Swimming, Wrestling, and
  Basketball.
• In the spring Fishburne offers Lacrosse, Soccer,
  Track, Field, Tennis, Golf, and Baseball.

17
SRC

• SRC stands for Supper Roll Call.
• This formation is like all the other meal
  formations throughout the day.
• SRC is a time we get mail that our loved ones
  send us.

18
First Call Study Hall

• You are assigned study hall based on grades.
• First call--huh. Well, all those who did not make
  honor roll have to go to one of two types of
  study halls.
• The first study hall lasts for an hour. That is
  plenty of time to get a lot of your homework
  completed. SO DO IT!

19
First Call Second Study Hall

• This study hall follows the first study hall.
  This study hall is also an hour long. You might
  have to attend both hours, or you can study one
  of the hours in your room.
• Again, theres plenty of time to get your
  homework done. DO IT!

20
Honor Roll

• If you are an intellectual cadet and make good
  grades, then you make honor roll.
• That means that you get to stay in your room for
  both study halls and chill, do homework, sleep or
  whatever.
• I suggest that you get your homework done first.
  Sleep can come after homework.

21
Lights

• At 2215, lights have to be turned out. You do not
  have to go to sleep, but lights, TVs, and
  computers are not allowed to be on.
• Congrats. You survived your first day. Time to
  finish the rest of the year.
