One Phys. Ed Instructor told me that 95% of incoming cadets have never been in a physical altercation before (I was in the 5%). Face it--we are generally talking about "good kids" who are usually from upper middle-class backgrounds.
For me, what was even more educational was the Close Quarters Combat class I took in my final year. We learned about knives and clubs. And just thinking seriously about being in a knife fight focuses the mind wonderfully. And what was also revealing was the attitude of the instructors-- don't fight fair.
Then surely you should be keeping up with your fellow alumnae on that cadet Spenser Rapone........How is that progressing?
Always walk around with some sand in your pocket.
