Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 400 The Council of Yale University

"Left～Shoulder～"

Closer to home, when the line of sight fell on the training ground on the first day.Following the password shouted by the old black sergeant, Carter was stunned for a moment.
Left. Shoulder? ?
What the hell is this? !

It wasn't until he heard the sound of turning in unison beside him, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Rick on his right hand winking at him frantically, that Carter turned left belatedly.Then.
"I don't mean to offend, but who can tell me, how a deaf person? Or how did a person with cerebellar atrophy get into our team?!"

Angrily, he rushed into the queue, but Lao Hei did not attack Carter.It is estimated that I am also afraid of killing the few rare ROTC seedlings.

I saw Lao Hei turned his head pretending to be puzzled, and looked at the other two non-commissioned officers who were interspersed in the queue, responsible for correcting Carter and others' movements, and scoring and evaluating:
"Corporal? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

"Sorry, sgt!"

Corporal Boris Woods at the head of the team quickly stood to attention and answered.

"Sergeant Winston?"

Hei turned his face to the other side, and received the same reply from Sergeant Winston.Finally, Old Hei looked at Carter:

"Tell me! Soldier! Can you hear me now?"

"yes! sir!"

Following the appearance of the American soldiers in the movie, Carter quickly stood at attention and shouted at the top of his voice.I heard that in the army, as long as you have a loud voice, you are awesome!
However, when Rick next to Carter heard the answer, he knew it was going to be bad.Sure enough, just as Carter's words fell, Lao Hei's black face quickly turned red, and he dragged Carter out of the queue:

"Push-ups, one hundred! Start now! The rest, continue training!"

When Carter worked hard and finished his push-ups, he just got up.Old Hei flashed in front of Carter again:
"Soldier! Black!"

Glancing at the name patch on the chest of Carter's combat uniform, Old Hei spoke again.

This time, Carter learned the lesson.Reminiscent of the self-introduction of the other party when he first met Lao Hei, Carter shouted:

"Yes! sgt!"

"Wow! What a fucking genius you are! I take my comment back, you're in the right mind. Now, tell me, can you hear me?"

"Yes! sgt!"

"Left! shoulder!"

Carter immediately turned left.
"Right! shoulder!"

Carter right this time
···
···
"Sister Falk! What the hell is this turn command?!"

In the middle of the old black turning left and right like a monkey, he just finished the first day of training.Carter couldn't wait to complain to Rick
Shouldn't turning left or right be turn left or right? !

Are the left and right shoulders a ghost thing? !

"Why can't this be the turn signal? Haven't you seen the video of the military parade?"

Compared to Carter's surprise, Rick seemed even more surprised than Carter.That look, as if looking at an alien
"Those guards of honor, you haven't heard the command that the commander shouted when the rifle was put on the shoulder? It's the loud Shoulder arms?"

"No! Who usually sees this? I can still understand the rifle on the shoulder and shouting Shoulder arms, but why turn left? Left shoulder?! Don't they think we don't distinguish between left and right? If we don't distinguish between left and right, we also distinguish I don't know where the left and right arms are!"

After being physically punished inexplicably, Carter looked particularly depressed.

Anyway, we used to be pacesetters in the military training at the university, members of the school national flag team!In the end, Laomei actually died in the queue? !
Shabby, how shabby!

If the former instructor finds out about this, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will come to the United States to kick himself.
"Emmm, I only know that this password was passed down during the Civil War. Maybe the soldiers at that time couldn't tell the left from the left, so they simply used shoulders instead. Oh, and, what's your name."

Rick patted Carter's shoulder helplessly:

"You really don't know anything about the army! Sir is the name for officers, you can't use sir for non-commissioned officers, but use sgt! Forget it, I will explain it to you after dinner."

In this way, Carter knew that the U.S. military’s passwords are not the same as the direct translation of their words, and also knew that the U.S. military queues use marching songs, also called Jody calls (jody calls) to confirm the rhythm and pace. of various details.The most original Judy password is a "Sound-off" created by a private named Duckworth during World War II.

The ancestor of this US military marching song, the tune is very simple, and the core lyrics are only back and forth: Sound-off! 1 - 2 Sound-off! 3 - 4Cadence count! 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 1 - 2 3 - 4
After humming along twice, Carter roughly figured out what level the marching rate should be maintained in the training of the U.S. military formations.After all, this thing is basically the same as "1, left foot; 2, right foot" in the domestic queue training. As long as you understand the logic, it is not difficult to operate.

Ever since, during the training the next day, Carter made visible progress.It is also rare to hear a comment of "good job" from Lao Hei
Then on the third day, there was another gap in understanding.Then ask Rick at the end of training. And so on
On both sides of the flowers, there is one branch on each side.

When the training and learning of the rotc project was advancing like a fire, Carter was also approached by Yale:

"Student! Yale University's only school-level club, the Student Council wants to know?!"

This is quite like a new way of speaking for swimming and fitness, and Carter's eyelids twitched when he heard it.Then hurriedly invite people into the dormitory
Not much is known about the Yale Board of Trustees.The only thing I learned about it in my previous life was a very interesting little news that I read:
On October 2021, 10, the Yale University Board of Trustees passed an appeal resolution stating that Yale University should minimize consideration of alumni relationships in applicants' families during the admissions process.

What does that mean?

It is this Yale University Board of Trustees who thinks that there are too many connections in Temiao's school!I don't accept it!

In the future, admissions will not be based on family background, no matter whether his parents are from Yale or not, I will have to give him a hard test!
It turns out that, less than three days after the Yale University Board of Trustees condemned the "heritage preference" in the admissions process of the school, Amherst College in Massachusetts next door immediately responded to the call, followed by A string of universities followed, including Colorado State University, including Georgia State University.At the end of the matter, the issue of equal rights in education was sent to the Supreme Court of the United States.
It is very likely to end the hereditary system of elite education in the United States that has been passed down for nearly a century at the legal level
It is said that at the time, the Yale Council even forced Quinlan, the director of Yale Admissions Office at the time, to explain frantically: "Alumni relations have never been the only determining factor in Yale's admissions!"; "The overall academic performance of alumni children is very important. Higher than other students!"; even the outrageous remarks that "the existence of related households can help increase the diversity of the student body" have come out!

You can see the cowhide of this organization!
Although after the fact, because I feel happy about this report.Carter deliberately checked the process of the education affirmative movement in the United States, and knew that the Yale University Board of Governors was not the first organization to launch the first shot of education affirmative rights
But a board of directors can force its own school, or an Ivy League school like Yale, to be helpless, and even completely blow the wind of educational equality pioneered at Johns Hopkins University all over the United States!

While refreshing Carter's cognition, he couldn't help but let Carter secretly remember the name of this organization in his heart!

However, while Carter was a little excited about receiving the invitation from this organization, he also keenly noticed the "student" prefix in the mouth of the senior sister who came to do the club's recruitment promotion, which seems to be not a full body of the Yale Council.
But even if it is an incomplete Yale board of directors, without seeing the legendary Yale Skull and Bones recruiting new students, compare it to the singing and dancing clubs and debating clubs downstairs that are bustling with Xiao Mengxin.
It is undoubtedly easier for this student council to attract a guy like Carter who is unwilling to be lonely!
