afrotc-l: MEMORANDUM FOR ALL CADETS

MEMORANDUM FOR ALL CADETS

FROM: CORPS SS OFFICER

SUBJECT: BASEBALL USHERING

I got a phone call from the Mr. Tomlinson from the athletic department
yesterday afternoon on the subject of baseball ushering over Super Bulldog
Weekend.  He informed me that people who had signed up for Sunday's game
were late, using church as an excuse for their tardiness.  THAT IS
UNACCEPTABLE.  When you sign up  to work baseball games, you are committing
yourself to be at the appointed place at the designated time.  Failure to
take responsibility for your commitments reflects poorly upon yourself, your
flight, your corps, and your air force.  Irresponsible and undependable are
not words that you should want yourself and your unit to be described as.
If you sign up for a game and you cannot be there at the appropriate
reporting time, that it is your duty and obligation to find someone you can
to cover for you until you get there, you know this.  The message left by
Mr. Tomlinson ended with the following statement: "If you wish to continue
working the baseball games, this cannot happen again."  At the beginning of
the season I warned everyone that we were in danger of losing this contract;
right now we are flirting with disaster, the corps has no other annual
fundraiser that can generate the funds that baseball ushering does.  I put
my faith in the corps that we could get this done effectively and gave the
athletic department a personal assurance that we would not have these
problems again this year.  Not only are you disappointing me be shirking
your responsibilities, but you are letting down your friends, flight mates,
corpsmen and cadre.

The following people have signed up for games this weekend on the respective
dates; report times are also listed.  YOU WILL BE AT THE BASEBALL STADIUM NO
LATER THAN THE PRESCRIBED REPORTING TIME.  NO EXCEPTIONS.

and will not accept excuses for why you might miss or be tardy for this
weekends games; find someone to replace you, let that change be reflected on
the master schedule in the cadet offices, and then email that change to me.
If I receive another phone call that cadet are being irresponsible, punitive
actions will be taken against the offending cadets.  Questions regarding
baseball ushering may also be sent to raj4@ra.msstate.edu; other questions,
comments, or cries of outrage will not be acknowledged.
