If unable to reach the squad or lead instructor for tardiness, who should be contacted?

The appropriate choice is to contact the Recruit Training Officer in Charge (OIC) if you are unable to reach the squad or lead instructor regarding tardiness. The OIC is responsible for overseeing the training process and can provide guidance on handling attendance issues. They are in a position to understand the protocols and can effectively relay the necessary information to the instructors if needed.

The Class Leader, while potentially helpful in certain matters, may not have the authority or the complete perspective on training policies related to tardiness. Meanwhile, Captain Lakeith McCullar may not be readily available for such specific administrative concerns, as his role may focus on broader leadership duties. The Cadet Coordinator, while an important point of contact, could also be less directly involved with day-to-day training issues. Therefore, contacting the Recruit Training OIC ensures that the matter is handled appropriately within the structure of the training system.
