On the Yale campus over the weekend...

In the Grove Cemetery, a group of figures dressed in camouflage perfectly blended in with the surrounding green leaves. They were holding a shovel and digging something...

"I said, do you have to make the venue such a hellish place?! Aren't you afraid of digging someone's grave, or simply breaking someone's leg with a shovel, and then someone drags a stump of his leg to knock on us in the middle of the night?

door?!"

A gust of cool spring breeze blew by. Carter inserted the shovel in his hand into the soil at his feet, raised his hand and called for everyone to gather over. At the same time, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and each person scattered one...

The few flickering fireworks placed in a gloomy cemetery may look a little scary from a distance, but when a group of people gather together, this is the source of security!

"Knocking on the door in the middle of the night? What does this mean? Is it the setting of a new horror movie?"

"Never heard of it..."

"Just send back a bouquet of flowers. I believe the kindhearted deceased will forgive us for our recklessness."

In Europe and the United States, where ancestor worship is not very popular, no one could understand what Carter was trying to express. There was no objection at all to the idea of ​​digging a basement in a cemetery as a venue for club activities. Instead, they thought it was very cool.

Show off...

It's like a conspiracy to plot the world is being held, although most of the time, this venue may just be used for parties...

It’s a true graveyard dance!

"So you still insist on keeping the venue here?!"

Holding his forehead in pain, Carter really didn't know what to say for a moment. Europeans and Americans, I guess, look quite mature. In the words of a certain pockmarked person: "What the hell is this?!"

But in fact, Carter found that these European and American students are sometimes very contradictory. For example, whether it is from the process of applying to college or from the fact that they can go out to work part-time at an early age.

Logically speaking, they should be more mature than many students in China. But the fact is...

The second grade of middle school in Europe and the United States often happens at the university level. Just like now...

"Of course! How cool it is here! If we all become generals in the future, hey, Cemetery Generals, what do you think?!"

"No, Grove's Joint Chiefs of Staff sounds better than yours!"

"It sounds like Grove. This is a Soviet name. Be careful..."

"Carter, if you think it won't work, let's change it. But, there is no ground space left for us to use in the school now... Either I go to the outside of the campus and build it myself, or I dig it myself... Dig it myself, the cost is

lowest!"

Among a group of laughing and joking quasi-officers, a more mature black man seriously expressed his thoughts. After speaking, he did not forget to point to his companions...

"And, they think it's cool!"

Seeing the actions of the black classmates, the others had some disgust on their faces, but considering Carter's existence, no one dared to stab...

That's right, these people are the first members of the Carter Society!

Rotc students are not very popular in these years. Due to the influence of anti-war trends, the number of applicants is pitiful. When you go out, you will not only see envious and respectful looks from other students, but you will not be spat on or scolded.

Executioners and war criminals are all good!

Except for people like Rick, who have a family tradition of joining the military, and a few people who really have a strong military background, the remaining students are basically the same type of people: excellent, but not that excellent, and their family financial situation

Those who are relatively poor!

What does this mean?

The first is excellence. People who are not outstanding cannot apply for an offer from Yale University, right? Not being so outstanding means that they cannot get a full scholarship from Yale, and their families cannot afford their tuition. As a last resort, you can only choose

ROTC project, through ROTC scholarship, you can complete your studies.

Such a group of people may not be in line with Carter's original principle that club members should "select the best from the best." But as the saying goes, everything has two sides!

In the past few years, when the anti-war wave has not receded, the enrollment of students in the ROTC has not been optimistic. This is a big environment, not only at Yale, but also at MIT and Harvard next door. They are not much better. But the ROTC is the United States.

Armed Forces, the largest source of military officers...

It is actually very complicated to introduce the military academies in the United States in detail. To put it simply: unlike China, where most military officers come from serious military academies, there are actually very few more serious military academies in the United States. In terms of admission methods and targets, it is different from the formal military academies in China.

China's formal military academies are almost the same. They are purely military academies that recruit students directly to high school students. There are only a few such as the Army Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy at Annapolis and the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.

.

Basically, there is only one military service, even a fourth-class military academy, and it does not even have its own basic officer school. Lower-level officers are all trained by Annapolis...how can it be such a miserable thing...

It is obvious that just a few orthodox military academies, which can be counted on the palm of a hand, cannot meet the needs of the United States for officers. Therefore, the ROTC project came into being...

Many people will compare the RoTC program with China's national defense students, but in fact there is a big gap between the two. First of all, the RoTC program includes three major categories of colleges: military, military, junior, college...

Like Yale University's RoTC program,), officers are trained by civilian universities. There are also military academies, but they are not purely government-run like West Point and are more complex in nature, such as Virginia Military Institute, etc. Even though its name says it is a military academy, it can

It is rotc...

They are ROTC members, not actual officer trainees...

There is also a military college, which has a lower academic system but has additional requirements. For example, after completing your studies at this school, you need to go to a civilian university to complete certain specified courses in order to obtain officer qualifications, etc...

To sum up, officers with ROTC background are almost everywhere in the U.S. military. In terms of career development, they are not an obstacle to graduating from unorthodox military academies. In today's environment, a large number of ROTC programs are facing enrollment difficulties, so what about

Can it be understood as...

In a certain period of time in the future, will the supply of military officers in the US military be discontinued?

Of course, it may not be as serious as the chronology. But, suppose, twenty years later, or a little longer, thirty years later...

If this group of people still stay in the army, they will basically face a career threshold from colonel to brigadier general. In the past, there may be dozens or even hundreds of colonels who meet the promotion requirements for the position of brigadier general.

.And what about them?

It's easy to invest in such a group of people. After all, the family is in a tight situation and needs money... It's so tempting!

Come on, the risk of investing in these people is ridiculously low! Because this is a historical trend created by the times. Their competitors are decreasing, which is not their plan at all...

Looking around at the group of quasi-officers, Carter was quite satisfied. These people all aspired to long-term development in the army. It is certainly unrealistic that everyone can be promoted to general. But there are more than 20 people, including Yale.

The Air Force RoTC cadets on the side, the Army cadets at Camp Nathan Hale...

If one or two generals appear, there is still a possibility!

By then these people...

Looking forward to a perfect future, Carter also regained his motivation. For the sake of the general, it is immoral to dig a grave...

As long as you're not digging your own ancestral graves, you're done digging for special brews!

"Hurtado...that's it! Keep digging! Hansen, go find Rick and see if the wood we ordered has been delivered. I don't want to be buried in it..."
