I remember having to remember ridicilous, worthless stuff in Navy Bootcamp in 1981. We were always told that if I didn't remember that crap, we would be held back until we did.
Bootcamp was eight weeks, this police academy was only two.
Please remember to point out that this didn't happen to me (yeah, sure). I meant to say "we" not "I."
