What should be included in the squad log entries?

Including documentation of cadet behavior, both positive and negative, in the squad log entries is critical for several reasons. It provides a comprehensive view of individual cadet performance, which can be essential for tracking development, accountability, and areas that may need improvement. Such records help in evaluating the effectiveness of training programs and may serve as a basis for discussions about future training strategies or interventions.

Moreover, having a balanced record that notes both commendable actions and areas where cadets may struggle fosters an environment of constructive feedback. This approach encourages personal growth and helps ensure that cadets are recognized for their achievements while also receiving guidance on how to address any issues.

This documentation contributes to a documented history that can be beneficial for awards, promotions, or any other recognition processes within the program. Furthermore, maintaining an accurate log with a full spectrum of behavior allows for a more fair and objective assessment of each cadet's overall contributions and challenges.
