1. When the Instructor enters the room at the beginning of the period all cadets will stand at attention and remain standing until told to be seated by the instructor. Class leaders will take a status report of cadets absent for the instructor.
2. Classroom instruction will be conducted with all students at ease. Cadets will not slouch in their seats, put their feet on other desks, or be inattentive to instruction. They will be required to sit at ease, erect, and with both feet on the floor beneath their desks. Horseplay, chewing gum, eating or other classroom distractions will not be permitted.
3. During classroom instruction the instructor may require that cadets stand and state their rank and last name when asking or answering questions. If so, they will remain standing until directed to take their seats.
4. Upon the entrance of a school official or a visiting officer senior to the instructor into a military classroom, the first cadet to see him will call "Attention", and all cadets will stand at attention until directed otherwise. The only exception to this policy is that if classroom instruction has started, attention will not be called, and instruction will continue.
