What do the positions above do? Are some held more accountable for the brain-farts of others? Do any get less time to study? Do all billets have to stand watch?
Drill Body helps the class with drill... lots of one on one time with the DI
Mail Body doesn't really do anything since the DI likes to do mail call himself
linen body gets fresh linens every week
trash body takes out the trash
1st LT is tasked with keeping the spaces clean.. delegates tasks like head cleaning, sweeping etc.
RLP body is charged with helping the class pass the inspections.. pretty tough job
PT body organizes extra PT sessions and nightly stretching..might get heat if the class sucks at PT
adjutant does the daily paperwork for the class... lots of interaction with class team.. some special perks like internet access.. no watch.. no sweepers.. but pretty stressful when you have other sh*t to prepare for and you have to do the daily roster and PRT scores
vice president- depends.. but usually doesn't do crap
president - gets the most crap.. usually gets fired.. a good class president will get mucho bonus points with the class team... even though he's constantly told that he sux
watch bill coordinator - writes watch schedule for class... can get crap if you put fat-bodies on watch during PT or noone understands how to do watch
knowledge body - stupid position.. during chow hall or any time you're standing in formation not doing anything... section leader will say "knowledge body, gouge the class" to which knowledge body replies "aye, section leader" "class 17-03, what is the third general order of sentry?" and the class replies "knowledge body, the third general order of sentry is..."
maybe a good knowledge body would help with academics too..
if you have a big class some positions could get out of watch, sweepers (pres, vice, adj)
i was class adj but never got any "special attention"... but some adj's do.. heard about this one guy who had a breakdown and just left OCS.. didn't say a word to anyone.. just left.
btw.. section leader is a daily rotating position based on alphabet/random.. section leader has "command" of the class while class president is the liason to the class team... no real authority... just lots of opportunities for motivational speeches... and bends-and-thrusts.
