NOTE FROM THE MASTER, T.S. KENNEDY

THE FOLLOWING CADETS HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THE ANNUAL MASTER’S AWARDS. THIS IS A NON-ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE BASED AWARD – CADETS ARE IDENTIFIED BY CLASS – NOT BY MAJOR.

Every Sea Term we select exceptional cadets for the Annual Master’s Awards. These cadets will be recognized at Morning Formation on 8 April, and will be awarded a citation letter and uniform ribbon. We looked at all 582 cadets aboard this year, have selected 48, and of those, 12 are women. The various departments aboard were asked to select cadets that they have worked with that stand out among their peers, looking for those that made serious contributions to the ship such as putting more time and effort into the tasks they were assigned. This award is not based upon academic performance, but it doesn’t overlook poor behavior. I am very proud of these cadets - Bravo Zulu to you all!
