<p>itlstallion… re: the room inspection: it was a bravo one, I think - the first one of the summer - but somehow it ended up in my girl’s papers that even she didn’t recall being there. It was a chance event that I ever saw that little inspection sheet and something I found much more interesting than she ever did.</p>
<p>the one they made her and her roommie fail: most definitely an alpha towards the end…and they had one cadre go on and tell them to stand at attention until told otherwise. He left, a 2nd one came in and put a second free standing lock, ( the kind you put on a locker door) and throw it on one desk, and walk out, without saying a word. Of course, they are still at attention. Then the 1st cadre comes in to inspect again, keeps them at attention and docks them for ‘gear adrift’. Ahhhh, the mind games these resourceful young people can think of! At least it’s creative energy doing something besides figuring out how to break the law, build a bomb or do damage to themselves with risky behaviors!! So I find it quite amuzing to share parent stories about what their Plebes survived in their 1st year. 40 years ago’s Plebe summer for my husband had his share and they continue to invent NEW ways to test the Plebes!! Ahhhhh, that’s American resourcefulness for you!</p>
