"Left~Shoulder~"

Back to business, when his eyes fell on the training ground on the first day. Following the command shouted by the old black sergeant, Carter was stunned on the spot...

Left...shoulder??

What the hell is this?!

It wasn't until he heard the sound of turning around him all around him, and caught a glimpse of Rick on his right side winking at him crazily from the corner of his eye, that Carter turned left without realizing it. Then...

"I don't mean to offend, but who can tell me how a deaf person or a person with cerebellar atrophy got into our team?!"

Angrily, Lao Hei rushed into the queue, but Lao Hei did not make a move against Carter. He was probably afraid of losing these rare ROTC single seedlings.

I saw Lao Hei turning his head pretending to be confused and looking at the other two non-commissioned officers who were interspersed in the queue and were responsible for correcting Carter and others' movements and recording and evaluating:

"Corporal? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

"st!"

Air Force Corporal Burris Woods, who was at the end of the line, stood up quickly and replied.

"Sergeant Winston?"

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

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

"yes! sir!"

Following the look of American soldiers in movies, Carter quickly stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs. I heard that in the army, as long as you have a loud voice, you are considered awesome!

However, when Rick next to Carter heard this answer, he immediately knew that something was going to happen. Sure enough, just as Carter finished speaking, Lao Hei's dark face quickly turned red and he dragged Carter out of the queue:

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

After Carter worked hard to do push-ups, he just stood up. Old Hei flashed in front of Carter again:

"Soldier! Blake!"

After glancing at the name badge on the chest of Carter's combat uniform, Lao Hei spoke again.

This time, Carter learned the lesson wisely. Reminiscent of Lao Hei’s self-introduction when he first met him, Carter shouted:

"yes!sgt!"

"Wow! You are such a fucking genius! I take back my previous comment, your brain is normal. Now, tell me, can you hear me?"

"yes!sgt!"

"Left!shoulder!"

Carter immediately turned left...

"Right!shoulder!"

Carter goes right this time...

···

···

"Fake girl! What the hell is this the turn command?!"

As Old Black was turning left and right like a monkey, Carter had just finished the first day of training. Carter couldn't wait to complain to Rick...

Shouldn't turning left or right mean tur?!

What the hell are the left and right shoulders?!

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

Compared to Carter's surprise, Rick seemed even more surprised than Carter. His eyes seemed to be looking at an alien...

"When those honor guards put their rifles on their shoulders, you haven't heard the command the commander yelled, right? Is that the loud shoulder arms?"

"No! Who usually sees this... No, I can understand the rifle on the shoulder and shouting Shoulder, but why turn left shoulder?! Do they think we all don't distinguish between left and right... No, if it's left or right

Even if we don’t tell, we can’t tell which side our left and right arms are!”

After receiving corporal punishment for no apparent reason, Carter looked particularly depressed.

After all, we were once the pacesetters in the military training at the university, and were members of the school’s national flag team! But here in the United States, we actually died in the queue?!

So shabby, so shabby!

If the former instructor found out about this, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he would fly to the United States and kick him...

"Emmm, I only know that this password was handed down from the Civil War. Maybe the soldiers at that time couldn't tell the difference between left and right, so they simply used their shoulders instead... Anyway, oh, and that name of yours..."

Rick patted Carter on the shoulder with a helpless look:

"You really know nothing about the army! Sir is a title for an officer. You cannot use sir for non-commissioned officers, you have to use sgt! Forget it, I will explain it to you after dinner later..."

In this way, Carter not only knew that the direct translation of the US military command and its words was different, but also knew that the US military formation used marching songs, also called jody calls, to confirm the rhythm and pace during the procession.

Various details. The most original Judy password is "Sound-off" created by a superior soldier named Duckworth during World War II.

This is the ancestor of the US military marching song. The melody is very simple, and the core lyrics are just back and forth: Sound-off! 1 - 2... Sound-off! 3 - 4...t!

1-2-3-4 ...

1 1 - 2 2... 3 3 - 4...

After humming along twice, Carter roughly figured out how fast the marching pace should be maintained in the US military formation training. After all, this thing is basically the same as "1, left foot; 2, right foot" in domestic formation training.

Same, as long as you understand the logic, the operation is not difficult.

As a result, during training the next day, Carter made visible progress. He also rarely heard a "good job" comment from Lao Hei...

Then on the third day, there were problems with understanding again. Then at the end of the training, I asked Rick... and the cycle continued...

The flowers bloom on both sides, with one branch on each side.

While the training and learning of the RoTC project was progressing like a fire, Carter was also approached by someone at Yale:

"Classmate! Want to know more about the Student Council, the only school-level society at Yale University?!"

This was quite similar to the trick of recruiting new people to learn about swimming and fitness. Carter's eyelids jumped when he heard it. Then he quickly invited the people into the dormitory...

Carter didn't know much about the Yale University Board of Governors. The only time he learned about it in his previous life was based on an interesting little piece of news he had read:

On October 17, 2021, the Yale University Board of Governors passed an appeal resolution stating that Yale University should minimize the consideration of alumni relationships in applicants’ families during the admissions process.

What does it mean?

This is the Yale University Board of Trustees who thinks that there are too many connections in this special school! I am not convinced!

From now on, family background will no longer be a factor in admissions. Regardless of whether his parents are from Yale or not, I will still have to pass the hard test!

The miraculous result is that less than three days after the Yale University Board of Trustees condemned the school's "heritage preference" in the admissions process, Amherst College in the next door state of Massachusetts immediately responded to the call, and then there were

A series of universities such as Colorado State University followed closely, including Georgia State University. In the end, this issue of educational equality was recommended to the Supreme Court of the United States...

It is very likely that at the legal level, the hereditary system of elite education in the United States that has been passed down for nearly a century will be ended...

It is said that at that time, the Yale Board of Trustees even forced Quinlan, the then Director of Yale Admissions, to explain wildly: "Alumni relationships have never been the only determining factor in Yale's admissions of students!"; "The overall academic performance of alumni children is

Higher than other students!"; even such outrageous remarks as "the existence of connections helps to improve the diversity of the student body" were made!

This shows how awesome this organization is!

Although afterward, because he felt happy about this report, Carter went out of his way to look up the process of the education equality movement in the United States and learned that the Yale University Council was not the first organization to launch the first shot at education equality...

But a board of trustees can force its own school, or an Ivy League school like Yale, to do nothing, and even completely spread the trend of educational equality pioneered at Johns Hopkins University to the entire United States!

While refreshing Carter's knowledge, Carter could not help but secretly remember the name of this organization in his heart!

However, while Carter was a little excited to receive the invitation from this organization, he also keenly noticed the prefix "student" in the mouth of the senior sister who came to promote the club's recruitment. This did not seem to be the complete body of the Yale Council.

..

But even the incomplete Yale Board of Governors, without seeing the legendary Yale Skull and Bones Club recruiting new members, compares it with some song and dance club or some debate club that is bustling downstairs to fool Xiao Mengxin...

Nice romance

This student council will undoubtedly make it easier to attract people like Carter who are unwilling to be left alone!
