Dean of Faculty Brig. Gen. Dana Born, and Commandant of Cadets Brig. Gen. Samuel Cox,, leads the cadet wing on the Run to the Rock, which is a formation run from the Cadet Area to Cathedral Rock during Recognition. Fourth-class cadets were then required to locate their squadron "charge", a railroad tie fitted with rope handles and decorated by their classmates, and carry it, as a team, back to the Cadet Area. After completing this task of Recognition, fourth-class cadets performed a retreat ceremony and were presented their Props and Wings to wear on their flight caps during a special ceremony, signifying their acceptance into the cadet wing.
