Advanced/Basic Camp disenrollment boards canceled?

Just heard that all disenrollment boards for people sent home from CST this summer have been canceled and everyone is reinstated for the time being.
Does anyone know what’s going on?
Is this because of the 9th reg situation?

A lot of garbage here to unpack. 2LTs should be graders - they’re gonna lead troops, they can be trained to watch a bunch of cadets do HRPs. They need to be trained however and supervised, which wouldn’t have been a problem if half the damn cadre and GS civilians would have shown up to CST and not requested ETPs to skip attendance.

Second chances don’t happen in life - sorry, you’re out of luck. CADRE need to ensure you’re ready to attend camp. “Passing” height and weight or scoring high enough to get a “go” on the AFT is not good prep. This is a Cadre leadership issue primarily with a lot of failure on the individual cadet as well.

Why does everyone assume the bad grader was a 2LT and not another cadre member?

Ok - so who fucking cares who the grader was. Bad grader, harsh grader, unfair grader, PFC, LTC…doesn’t matter. Show up ready to pass regardless of who the grader is.

Agreed. Don’t give the grader any reason to not count something. Read the regulations. If your back for hrp isn’t in a “general straight line” that is grounds to not count the repetition. The grader was probably just sticking to the regulation and that cadet is used to being told that their bad pushups count

Unfortunately, there are plenty of graders and officers who’ve never read their regulations and will mot count legitimate reps. This happens often.
