Well... after that I think that any part of this newbie that was considering staying might be scared away...
But if he decides to stay after that, kudos to him. He will have gone through battle training comparable to that faced by a Marine or Navy SEAL (at least from a VK standpoint).
I'm sure there's a some type of merit badge for that.
*thinks about it*
Yes, there is a merit badge for it.
I haven't seen it personally, but there is a merit badge for it.
And a tee-shirt I hear tell.
Though the shirt may be a rumor.
