4th Large

Lets get physical....physical.  I wanna get physical.  This week we talk about Physical Training at the Citadel.  Going from Knob PT sessions all the way to Spirit Runs.  We touch on just a little bit of one of the biggest virtues of the Citadel.  The physic of a cadet is something that is held in high regard across the Corps and if you did not meet it, shame was usually cast upon you.  The next exercise of the day will be PT, listen up.

A Sardine does not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate those who do.  This week we talk about the Honor system at the Citadel.  Talking about how it changes most when they go to the school as well breaking down the basic structure of the cadet run system, going through how an accusation comes to be, all the way through when a cadet is dismissed.

We bring on our classmate Mike Sparks so he can share what it was like living in Disneyland, AKA 1st Battalion.  We ask why 1st battalion has so many Corps Squad cadets, his opinion on the Charlie Shuffle, and why they call it "Delta Frat".  We ask him what the perception of what cadets from 2nd Battalion were like.  This is just part 1 of the 6 part series of getting to hear from other cadets from the other battalions. 

One of the most resounding memories for lots of Citadel graduates is the Thanksgiving and Christmas timeframe.  From making your upper classman hats all the way to stealing other companies Christmas lights, we cover it.  Even get into what happens to those who are tossed in the showers and why it happens.  Nothing like a little Christmas in July and some Thanksgiving in the summer Charleston heat.

Don't let Jenkins Hall get you down.  This episode we talk about some of the inner workings of the Citadel.  We discuss some of our interactions with the administration side as well as some stories about TACs.  We try to pull back the green curtain to see who is really running the Wizard of Oz at the Citadel.  Swim on sardines!

A first in 4th Large history.... We bring on guests to talk to us about their Citadel experience.  This episode we pull back the curtain on one of the most disgusting things at the Citadel.  No, it's not the Mess Hall.....Its not the unfair rules placed on cadets.....It is the senior private.  We bring on Lucas and Adam to talk through their experiences of being a senior private and allow them to defend the reasoning/benefits of being a senior private.

Go.....Fuckin.....Dogs.  College Football like you cannot imagine.  It is no surprise the Citadel is able to take something that should be able to be enjoyed so seamlessly and make it something that torture at points.  This episode talks about what is like to attend a Citadel game from the cadet perspective, not so much about the Football team itself.

You HUNGRY for some more Citadel stories???  This week we talk about what meals were like at the Citadel.  Describing the quality of the food, the atmosphere of the mess hall, and how it changed us out of being a picky eater.  We also talk about the hunger strikes that have occurred throughout the schools history.

Shine that brass, Shine those shoes, and get your beds made because we talkin inspections.  This episode we deep dive how inspections go at the Citadel ranging from Personal appearance inspections all the way to a full up Saturday Morning Inspection.
