00:00 - 00:03 | The OPORD has the freshmen waking up at 0600 |
00:04 - 00:05 | They will form up at the buses here, |
00:05 - 00:07 | here, and here. |
00:08 - 00:12 | They will begin marching at 0800 |
00:12 - 00:15 | Then march 13 miles back to Upper Quad for the ceremony. |
00:17 - 00:19 | The plan all looks in order |
00:19 - 00:21 | But I passed up leave for that weekend a month ago |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
00:27 - 00:28 | They... |
00:31 - 00:33 | They denied all leave requests for that weekend |
00:34 - 00:36 | PL's and PSG's are required to march with the freshmen |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who's planning on going out, getting drunk, and sleeping in, leave. |
01:13 - 01:15 | I DON'T WANT TO GO! |
01:15 - 01:17 | I have so much crap to do that weekend! |
01:18 - 01:23 | How am I supposed to do the entire employment exercise sober?? |
01:25 - 01:28 | I was going to go downtown and get drunk! |
01:29 - 01:31 | Am I the only one who does homework better hungover? |
01:31 - 01:34 | I can't even drink on the march! |
01:34 - 01:37 | You can't put beer in a Camelbak! |
01:37 - 01:40 | It gets all warm and tastes terrible! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, we could have the freshmen carry a cooler... |
01:42 - 01:46 | It won't matter! The march is six hours long! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, we could place a cooler at the halfway point... |
01:48 - 01:52 | Some PL from 1st Battalion will just grab it before me! |
01:53 - 01:54 | We always march at the back! |
01:56 - 01:57 | Why do they want me to march with them anyway?? |
01:57 - 02:00 | Half of them still think I'm a senior sergeant! |
02:00 - 02:03 | And they want me to spend the whole day with them?? |
02:04 - 02:08 | Everything was so much better in the Old Corps... |
02:08 - 02:13 | They'd blindfold the freshmen, drive off campus, then give them a compass |
02:14 - 02:16 | It took us 15 hours to get back! |
02:17 - 02:21 | And you know what happens when you eat MRE's all day! |
02:27 - 02:29 | I passed up leave for this a month ago! |
02:30 - 02:34 | And they're just telling me this now.. |
02:34 - 02:36 | "Now more than ever"! |
02:41 - 02:42 | When I signed up for PL... |
02:43 - 02:47 | I thought I'd just sign leave slips! I didn't want actual responsibility! |
02:48 - 02:53 | Next they'll want me to actually stand out in front of formation in the morning! |
02:54 - 02:56 | I haven't polished my shoes in a year... |
02:56 - 02:59 | And some sophomore stole my brasso last year and never gave it back! |
03:00 - 03:02 | They won't even let me wear my longsword to formation! |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's okay, they won't let him bring it to football games either... |
03:14 - 03:16 | At least I get to live off campus next year... |
03:19 - 03:23 | I don't know if I can make it until then... |
03:25 - 03:26 | One more month... |
03:31 - 03:33 | The freshmen are about to turn.... |
03:40 - 03:46 | They're all going to friend me on Facebook and try to hang out with me... |
03:46 - 03:49 | See if I even try to learn their names before they turn... |
03:53 - 03:56 | I don't even know the sophomores. |
