  • The Guidon 2016 - 2017
    The Guidon 2016 - 2017 The South Carolina Corps of Cadets WELCOME TO THE CITADEL The Guidon is published every year as a source of information for fourth-class cadets. As a member of the Class of 2020, you are highly encouraged to familiarize yourself with all of the information enclosed in The Guidon. Since your initial time on campus will be filled with many activities, it is suggested to be familiar with as much of this information as possible before you report. The Guidon consists of two parts: general information that will help a cadet recruit become acclimated to The Citadel campus and lifestyle and required fourth-class knowledge, a mix of traditional Citadel knowledge and leader development knowledge. The cadet chain of command will test knobs on each piece of required knowledge and record the results in the tracking log in the back of The Guidon. This log and the process associated with it will be one assessment tool TACs can use as part of determining whether or not to certify cadets in several LDP learning outcomes. The required knowledge will be presented in manageable sizes that correspond to milestones in the fourth-classmen’s progression through the year. The milestones are broken down as follows: the end of Challenge Week, the end of Cadre Period, the end of first semester, and second semester until Recognition Day. The knowledge progresses from rudimentary information through more complex ideas, and culminates with the cadets becoming familiar with the Leadership Development Plan for The Citadel and how they will fit into that plan as upperclassmen.
