Cadet, it is time for You to take a final test. This will be hypothetical situation. First thing You should do is to tell me when You are ready. I will then give You a Brigade. Assemble Your staff. Then ask for QM report... Well, You will know what to do. Remember that I will watch for everything from giving orders, time to reply, signs... If You have read previous pages and really want to participate You will not have any difficulties.
After You pass this test I will contact War Department and tell them that You are capable of commanding a brigade. From that time You will be on Your own.
Thank You and Godspeed.
For the South,
