Watch Information - General

Watch Exchange Forms:  Once the watch exchange form has been signed/approved, the following is the proper routing:

Pink – Cadet filling out the Watch Exchange Form
Yellow – Cadet Assuming the Watch
White – TSGB watches – Quarterdeck; Campus watches – Corp Office 

CDO Watches:  CDO watch is a 24 hour watch commencing with relief at 0730 in the Corp Office. 0730 Watch relief is for both the ongoing and off-going CDO.

ACDO Watches:  Due to the low number of qualified ACDO watchstanders in the Corps of Cadets, CDOs are authorized to backfill ACDO watches in order to balance out the number of watches stood.  This is in lieu of CWO's and WE's backfilling the position.  This change took effect in Sept 07.

Scheduled Classes vs. Watch: Since scheduled classes and watches are mandatory, Division Executive Officers are required to work the watch schedule around your class schedules.  However, it is your responsibility to ensure your Division Executive Officer knows if there is a conflict between a scheduled class and watch.

In the case of the Meteorology Class where ALL 2/c Deck cadets are required to attend, a waiver has been granted in order for the CWO watch to be filled by the N/M until the 2/c returns to the ship from class.

Work vs. Watch: The Division Commanders and Executive Officers have been very accommodating with trying to schedule watches around everyone’s limitations, however, they can’t please everyone. Work is not an authorized excuse to miss watch.  Therefore, if you are now scheduled for a watch that conflicts with your work schedule, you need to fill out a watch exchange form to cover the watch. As a head’s up, the further in advance for next semester that you can let your Division CO and XO know of conflicts, the better the chance that they may be able to accommodate you.
