...and no half-assing it! Let’s get creative! “Cadets” were traditionally males, so “cadets” is out. I want them to come up with something new that has never been used to describe men in previous roles.
Go for it!

He may as well carry around a mattress through the halls of the Pentagon, claiming to be raped.
