Log In: Cinnamon

The training day does not start on Sunday, but starts, for cadets, on Wednesday afternoon. By 1300H of Wednesday, the logbooks are released for the units to log in. In the logbooks, the instructions are provided for the cadets to prepare for the upcoming training day.

A typical training day instruction has the following entries:
  1. Commander's or training officer's message
  2. Training place and time
  3. Uniform specifics or type
  4. Unit-specific instructions
  5. For Cadet Officer Candidates, a list of anthologies which should be memorized by Sunday's training day.
After the instructions, the cadet has to give a message that the message has been read and would be complied with.

A typical log-in entry is like this:

To: COCC Training Director
From: COC [Surname]

Sir, I have received your message and I am willing to comply, Sir.

NAME MI SURNAME
CPvt 4Cl
COCC
* * *
But before you get to the logbook, you have to go to Corps Office, because the COCC logbook is inside the Corps office. Unlike the regular units, COCC training is distinctly separated. They are not made known to other cadets so that other fraternities would not target them - for either physical harm or recruitment. For this reason, COC identity is classified.
This high privilege has its equivalent burden.
Like meeting this psycho we codenamed "Cinnamon".
