Reveille was described as the school's canine ambassador by Morello. But outside of her travels, Reveille's daily schedule is more relaxed.
"She attends our formations in the morning. She then goes with me to class, where she usually sleeps," Cook said. "At the end of the academic day, we always make time to play with her. She also marches with us in the evenings, then catches up on more sleep."
"She follows our outfit in whatever we do," Morello said.
Both cadets emphasized that Reveille has a dynamic personality. "If we have a bad day, Reveille is always there. She is a comfort and reminds you of your dog back home," Cook said.
Morello said that Reveille loves her cadets and likes being around people.
Cook said he has many memories from the time he spent with Reveille. The cadets said they have a special bed for Reveille, but she prefers to sleep in their closets.
"When I come back from class, I can find her sleeping in my closet," Cook said. "I remember one time when I came back to my room where she was sleeping, and she had her head in one of my cowboy boots. Little memories like these make the time with her special."
Cook said: "There are so many great things about her that I wish everyone could share. Everything having to do with Reveille has made these years some of the most rewarding. She is a great dog, and we love her to death."
