A firstie is a first class cadet - what is normally called a senior.

As a USAFA grad, this is concerning on so many levels. The Academy’s mission is to train officers and warfighters to protect this country. In 2 years, these kids could be flying combat missions, potentially be prisoners of war, and be deployed either fighting or supporting a war. If these kids can’t handle being quarantined and disrupted by something like the coronavirus, then we have much bigger problems in how we are training our future leaders and who we select to admit. Bottom line, is most college students can’t deal with life and service academy cadets are no different. The Academy is broken on so many levels, that I really question the point of them anymore.

My first thought is that there is a Goa'uld on the base.

What’s odd is there still in those dormitories. I know at the naval academy they are cramped old and probably not safe for a virus. Air Force buildings are younger but still 1948 it was open.

Were they being tested?

If so they might have been worried about what other things the tests might have shown.

I remember the whole student body being guinea pigs for the swine flu vaccine. Almost everyone was sick. They cut the strength 100 fold for the general population. I wonder if the same thing is going on now with this new virus.
