  Day Two Sunday morning saw the arrival of the rest of the Staff. There was a brunch at 11:00am in the cafeteria of Towers East and then we were ready to begin our day. Most of the Staff was positioned at the Marshall Univeristy Student Center. The rest remained in Twin Towers East. The Junior Counselors started arriving at 12:30pm. It was amazing to see how much they had grown up over the last year. After registering and moving their stuff into the dorms, the Juniors were positioned at the Student Center as well as Towers East to assist the new Cadets. The Cadets began arriving at 1:30pm. They started their journey at the Student Center where they checked in with the Staff who made sure all of the paperwork was in order. Medical forms, waivers and permission slips all had to be filled out properly and signed by the parent and the Cadet. They then moved to another station where Johnson's Photo was set up. Each Cadet, Junior, Senior and Staff had a photo identification taken by Johnson's. This photo was to be worn on a chain, around their neck at all times during the Academy. Now it was time to haul all their luggage to the dorms at Towers East. Here, the Cadets were met by Senior and Junior Counselors and Staff members who passed out the t-shirts, key chains, room assignments, district assignments and hand books. The Cadets were then escorted by a Junior or Senior Counselor, from their respective district, to the front desk to receive their room key and help get the luggage to the room and get the Cadet settled in before the Opening Ceremony.
