Leadership: 2000 and Beyond (Ch 1 pg 9-10) describe the procedure for reporting as follows:
To enter the room. “When reporting to an officer indoors, remove your hat (safely tucked under your belt is fine)…Knock on the door once firmly. If there is no answer within a reasonable amount of time, knock once, again. When you are told to enter, or told to report, move as though you were marching at the position of attention. Take the most direct route to the officer (board chairperson). Halt 2 paces from the officer or from the front of the officer’s desk… Always halt so you squarely face the officer. “ To report. “First, salute. State—Sir/Ma’am (your CAP grade and last name) reporting as ordered. Hold the salute until the board chairperson returns it. The board chair will direct you to sit at ease in the chair provided. The board will begin. To depart, when dismissed, resume the position of attention, and execute the appropriate facing movement so you can take the most direct route out of the room.”
Important note: The board reporting procedures are in Chapter 1 leadership. All Cadets have access to this text and should be knowledgeable with those procedures. While different board reporting procedures may be in use at your local unit, the above procedures will be the ones used to score the performance of each participant. Deviation from those procedures stated above will be penalized by the evaluation officers.
