saffronhareHad to do some writing for the US Army today (long story), and ended up visiting West Point online for some research. If you want a glimpse into the first 20+ years of my life and corresponding worldview, have a look:

Background: The linked document covers a thing called Cadet Knowledge. Over the course of their entire first year at Woo Poo U, cadets are required to memorize this stuff and be able to "pop off" with it (that is, recite with great enthusiasm) on demand. I was a very good cadet.
It was some small comfort to realize that I didn't STILL have ALL of them memorized...and even greater comfort to notice that I was conducting debates with them in my head.
