Sent this guy off to the California Highway Patrol Academy 6 weeks ago for a live-in military style training for 6 months in Sacramento. I've been fortunate enough to see him on the weekends as he drives down with another cadet or two every weekend. Just when I think I've heard the worst of the disciple and stress there, I here something else and I am appalled! In bed by 11 pm. Up at 3:45 am. You better run everywhere you go, forget walking. Greet everyone with a "hello, ma'am" or "good morning, sir." Boots better be shined every day. Bed made with corners tucked in at 45 degree angles. PE shirt with your name drawn on the back in a certain size. You better not wipe the sweat out of your eyes while working out. And forget about being in the lagging group on runs. Tests 2-3 times per week and if you fail you stay behind on the weekend for remediation and if you fail the re-test, you're outta there. Record everything you eat on a daily memo. Eat dinner at 4:45 pm and up until 11 pm (starving!). Oh, and shave your head every week. I don't know how he does it, but "it is what it is" as he often reminds me.
