Wow! VMI's 1000 member corps blew me away! I'd like to send my grandsons there...

Weren't the VMI's great?

I figured out what I could do in the parade. I could be one of those people who walk behind the horses with a shovel.

I'm really good at picking up animal droppings.

Tough school... West Point of the south, but with a Rat Line.

It has softened since they brought the ladies in; but there are still very few at the school.

I think about 430 to 440 in each freshman class: the rats.
I think they drop over 25% out-right.

About 240 graduate.

They have a rock stiff honor code.
