So today the newbies arrived, or as we call them, the New Cadets. They are not yet even plebes, so needless to say they are the bottom of the foodchain. I decided to have fun with them for a change.
They just completed a rather grueling 7 week basic training course, and this afternoon when they arrived they had just completed a 15 mile ruck march through the rugged, humid, West Point area. To contrast, I just completed an awesome 7 week break at home with Allison...
But I remembered that I too went through what they are 5 years ago, so I decided to be a little nasty....some of them handled the stress of my questioning better than others. No tears were shed of course, but I think there level of stress was increased as they had a firstie in their face asking them, in a semi-polite fashion, to recite memorized quotes that they were supposed to know. It was kind of fun.
The move back here went fine. I slept most of the flight and arrived at West Point about noon yesterday. It is hard without Allison, I miss her a lot, and am not looking forward to the next 9 months of long distance, but we will make it just fine. I just can't wait till we get married and don't have to do distance anymore!!!
Ahhh, it is so humid, I am going to try and find a way to cool off....A/C sure would be great!
