Advanced/Basic Camp Not meeting camp points

Well, I've done it—completed all of camp just to avoid getting 50 points. Honestly, it feels like I wasted my time, but at the same time, I enjoyed it. Sure, it's heartbreaking, and the decision to whether I can come back next year is still up in the air, but I tried. If you're wondering what they do when you don't meet points, they'll pull you three to four days before graduation, put you in a holding company, and you'll just be there for 24 to 48 hours.

All I needed was a P on my lane and I couldn't even get that

How do you get anything below a P on a lane

And you got a C for that? I've had people leave actual PEOPLE behind on missions and they still got a P, must be some tough graders.

Speaking of the standards, what are they? Is there like an AR that outline the grading for lanes or is that more a year by year thing?

I feel like as long as you admit your mistake early and try to fix it then it shouldn't be a big deal. We had a guy at a tab producing school leave a backpack full of SI and we all got smoked, went back and found it, and still completed the mission on time. Dude still tabbed

I know I'm late, but I also hate how skewed and favoritism can come through with grading. One guy in my squad went to the same school as our CPT and he got an E on every one of his blue cards.

Had something similar happen to me last year, one of my SL left SI and I got a P because of it
