<p>"The presentation of the rings represents our commitment to The Citadel and our accomplishments as a class," said Cadet Kathryn Christmas, Regimental Commander of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets. "The Class of 2022 has been waiting patiently for this day. We will wear them proudly."&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of the very first acts the cadets performed after receiving their rings was to salute The Citadel War Memorial – marching by in rows of four – as they left the Chapel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After, the cadets sprinted back to their barracks before beginning their first weekend with a Band of Gold on their hands.&nbsp;</p>
