The Detachment conducted the traditional Combat Dining In on 07 April 2012. This event was meant to carry out tradition as well as to provide a morale boost for all cadets. It was conducted in a relaxed environment in which all of the cadets were able to interact with the cadet officers. The cadets that are commissioning this May added the food or drink of their choosing to the grog bowl. Cadets were able to send other cadets to the grog by may using a rhyme, a poem, or a song stating their reason for sending them to the grog. The cadets who were sent to the grog were then to drink from it following the proper procedure. After cadets were done being sent to the grog bowl the skits were then performed. The cadets performed the skits by flights and the cadet officers performed skits of their choosing, poking good natured fun at each other. Once the skits concluded the guest speaker chose a winner and spoke to the cadets. The experience of being at Combat Dining In is unforgettable. Cadets were able to experience a military tradition while enjoying themselves and building esprit de corps.
