<p>toadstool,
What you state is simply not the case. Although most cadets/mids at all 5 academies are likely to have been HS athletes, they are not “conditioned to be screamed at since little league.” Many, many cadets/mids make it through beast every year. Many would call it “a lot like scout camp” more than “an unending torture.” While some of it was just tedious, much of it was “kind of fun,” according to several soon-to-be-Yuks I know.</p>
