Chapter 399 Campus newspapers and rotc new training
"Hey! Carter, your mom doesn't have to worry about you having no friends at Yale anymore!"

"Huh? What happened?"

In the early morning of the second day when Carter made a big fuss at Branford College, Rick, who had been asked by Carter to wake him up in the morning, gave Carter a surprise with a smile after waking him up.

"Look for yourself, the Yale Daily News published Ni's speech yesterday. Of course, compared with the Daily News, you look at this: 'The first bird among the young birds: the freshman who is the first to call out his own voice, he will be The next chairman of the board of directors?" I'm afraid this will give you more fame!"

After slapping a newspaper and a magazine on Carter's bed, Rick laughed and turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up.On the other side, with his head still in a state of dullness, Carter took a look.

The records in the "Yale Daily News" are fairly objective and not too long.I just mentioned the debate in the cafeteria of Branford College during lunch yesterday, and intercepted part of my speech about "thinking and judging whether Maya Lin's works are excellent from a purpose-oriented perspective", and then added a little under the report Comments that are quite characteristic of the official language.

For example: Although the student's speech was biased, it gave us a new perspective to think about the problem. The editor of this newspaper thinks it has merits. The student also has a very special way of thinking. We look forward to his performance in the future so on.
If it wasn't for the person from the "Yale Daily News" who came to the door last night to sell, hoping that their B-5 dormitory could subscribe to the newspaper, Carter could hardly believe that this newspaper is actually a news media inside the university, almost entirely run by Yale students. We are responsible.Because of this thing, even if you don’t talk about their language style, is this a daily journal? !
Carter is curious, don't they have classes?Where did I get the news material? This is.
Besides this newspaper, there were many more descriptions about himself in that magazine.The language is also extremely exaggerated. Not only did he list himself as a cutting-edge shit-bomber who wants to make trouble in Yale's political ecology, but he also added a lot of nasty jokes in the comments.Closing the magazine, Carter glanced at the title of the magazine: Rumpus Magazine
Well, the name is Riot, no wonder this magazine looks like a little porn book!However, this thing has not been blocked? !In just a few days, Carter has thoroughly experienced the open and humanistic atmosphere of Yale.

It doesn't matter if you don't care about the key administration, this thing is also
"How do you feel after watching it?"

"I don't feel anything."

Just looking at Rick's ambiguous eyes, Carter understood that this guy was hinting at what was mentioned in the magazine, "As the first to become famous in the 81st class, if he continues to maintain this reputation and continue to stir up shit, he may Will sleep in all twelve Yale colleges, maybe add a few professional colleges?" This comment.
"To be honest, I really can't see where you seem withdrawn!"

"I didn't realize that you are actually a second-generation Yale? Each other!"

After the two guys who seemed to be hiding something deliberately washed up, they changed into the solid-color version of the OG 107 combat uniform, and the two hurried to the training ground.

It is also interesting to say that in Carter's understanding, ROTC students are basically similar to former national defense students.Carter remembered that the domestic national defense students uniformly wore student shoulder badges when they were in school, and this was the case for four years.Even if he took up a position like a student company commander, he still walked the world together.

But the ROTC in the United States is different. From private, to staff sergeant, and then to command sergeant major, it not only has a complete set of ranks for cadet soldiers, non-commissioned officers, but also cadet officer ranks, up to the level of a mock cadet brigade commander. cadet colonel.

I have to say, this is another place that confused Carter deeply, and almost showed Nick Yang's face with a question mark: so many high-level cadets, how can they be promoted? !Four years in total? !
Bewilderment is confusion, but Carter's movements are not slow at all.Following Rick's appearance, after tidying up, the two trotted all the way to the West Stadium to gather.

Just like Carter and Rick, the number of single-color single-v cadet private ranks is pitifully small.At a glance, the total number of people may not even reach 50.The participation rate of less than [-]% of freshmen in the ROTC program makes the college's soldiers look a bit like a chicken that has been plucked, or a lone wolf that has been left behind.

Because not only are there fewer freshmen participating in this class, but also the number of old students is not much larger. There are less than 200 students in the entire Yale Undergraduate Reserve Officer Training Corps.In China, this is less than the number of people in a reinforced company.
"Good morning! Soldiers! I'm a newcomer today. Let me introduce myself again. Attia Schneider, this is my name, but you shouldn't usually use it. The correct address should be sergeant! Including those around me The same goes for the two of you!"

While Carter was thinking wildly, a black sergeant came out of the crowd and stood at the front of the team.The aura exuded by him is far from what those people below who have more bars on their collar badges than him can exude
"Christopher!"

"Yes! sgt (short for sergeant)!"

"For the next hour, you will be responsible for organizing the training. The old rules, first run, then jump, and finally push! Understand?!"

"Yes! sgt!"

Not to mention that the old students were taken away by the cadet captain named Christopher, the hairs on Carter's body suddenly stood on end.Because the old black sergeant was standing in front of him, staring at him face to face
"I hate your little face, you look like a gay guy who got stabbed in the ass."

After leaving a vicious comment, Lao Hei turned to the next person.After turning around, no one could get a decent evaluation from this old black. Even Rick, the second and third generation of the army, was evaluated as "an oak barrel with a soapy head".

Not to mention, the strong, naive Rick does look a bit like a wine barrel. Well, that's right, it's the chicken with eggs and green onions.
As a freshman and a new cadet of the Army rotc, the first lesson for Carter and others was queue training.

The term American soldier has always given Carter the impression of standing or sitting or sitting.Aside from the fact that their shoeshine was scary, queue training was something rarely heard of.

After actually experiencing it now, Carter discovered that, in fact, the US military's queue training requirements are not low at all.Similarly, in some training methods, it is exactly the same as the so-called Tu Communist Party in his previous life in the military training of the university, and there is no foreign style at all.
For example, when the queue disperses, considering that these recruits may not be able to grasp the distance accurately, Lao Hei will also order them to spread their arms, and use the length of their arms to judge the distance between each other.When marching in the queue, they would also shout slogans similar to "one two one", or give rhythmic instructions in the form of marching songs.

Of course, it must not be "one two one" when they shout slogans, but the non-commissioned officers in training will say "yo~yo~yo" in a rhythm similar to "one two one"?Or the weird cry of "ya~ya~ya"
At first, Carter was very uncomfortable.Just as many squad leaders in China can always shout "A-[-]-[-]" when they shout "[-]-[-]-[-]", when the non-commissioned officers shouted commands at the top of their voices, the completely changed passwords were mixed in with those strange shouts, Or in the marching songs with the voice of a male duck, there are many jokes about people stopping while walking, but Carter is still walking forward.
