Military Exercises

All incoming freshmen complete military training. The students learn how to march, stand in formation, salute, and turn. The training begins in the early morning hours, and when 5,000 students and their drills sergeants are grunting, it is loud. They have a lunch and dinner break, and we are happy that there is an 11 pm curfew. Although we are not right next to the field, we can hear it through the windows.  These poor students do they have any voice at the end of the day?

Noah and Lukas who live on the side of our building facing the fields are grateful for noisy air conditioning units and headphones to drown out some of the early and late sounds.


Only torrential downpours stop the exercises for a moment
