My day at a military academy

One of my friends is attending a military academy in Virginia.  Currently he is a Company Commander, and I'd have to say his job looks pretty fun.

So when I got there, he was standing on top a hill while one of the guys in his company ran up and down it carrying a 20 pounds sand bag.  When I walk up to him he dismisses the kid and shows me around.  Well next he finds someone jackin off in a closet (all the doors to the rooms have windows).  He yelled louder than anyone I've every heard, and of course everyone walks out into the hallway to see whats going on.  The kid was obviously humiliated, and my friend had someone take him to the Commandant's office.

Well next thing, he finds some kid throwing rocks off a hill at the bleachers on the soccer field.  He makes the kid run down to the bleachers, pick one rock up, and run back with it.  The kid had to do that until every rock was picked up.  Those were just the big things, he made at least 4 people do push-ups over the 2 hours I was there.

This is mostly to you military guys, maybe he was going a little overboard?

I don't think I could ever be ordered around like that. 

He isn't a hardass all the time to them though, he offered to play tennis with the kid running the hills when I got there.  He was helping the kid learn how to play.

I also think the amount of punishment dealt will go down considerably when the kids stop being morons. 

wow, isnt that Hazing?

whats wrong with jacking off

The kids in his company are 13-14 years old (he is 16) and they legally shouldn't possess pornography?  You might say that he should understand why they would want it, but its not his job to be a friend to them, he is there to keep order. I should add that he didn't officially get the kid for having the porn, which was on another kid's cell phone.  He got him for using the other kids phone, which is against regulations.

posessing porn is against regulation if your in an academy or a training school (airborne, air assault, etc.) if i remember correctly.

Hahahaha, military sucks.

QFT. IDK why anyone would put themselves through so much BS.

No offense, but I don't really see the military protecting my civil liberties at the moment.

yup. also, when we are in training schools, we would buy porno, kids with laptops with porno on them got caught watching it by instructors in the racks. the instructors would grab their laptops and trade porn. so yeah. in the Marines it must be different.


EDIT: I didnt realize these were children we are talking about. I thought it was VMI. my bad. now i can see why porn is bad. but still, we always get porn, at AT (Annual Training) my girls of penthouse was stolen by a SSGT and i had to steal it back. the bastard. good thing he left it on his rack
