If a cadet's watch has an audible tone, what must they do?

• A. Ignore it and continue.
• B. Replace the battery and keep wearing it.
• C. Record the tone in a log.
• D. Deactivate the audible tone or obtain another watch for the duration of the Academy.

Answer: (D)

Auditory alerts during training must be kept quiet to maintain a focused and respectful environment. When a cadet’s watch emits a tone, the proper action is to deactivate the audible alert or obtain another watch for the duration of the Academy. This ensures the training space stays undisturbed for everyone and aligns with expected discipline and equipment usage. Ignoring the tone would create disruption, changing the battery and continuing could keep the tone active, and logging the event doesn’t eliminate the distraction. Silencing or swapping to a silent watch is the correct approach.
