  4. Commandant’s Priorities--Spring Term-- • Command climate • The barracks environment supports success & leader development for every cadet • Training • “I expect 100% participation in all training events” • Transition • “I expect the Class of 2014 to lead and command the Corps until properly relieved during the Long Gray Line on May 9th” • “I expect the 2C, 3C, and 4C to prepare for the positions of leadership they will assume next fall …” • President’s Inspection • “…Make this the best inspection that Gen Rosa has seen during his time as President of The Citadel”
