BRASSO Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Slightly off topic but a friend of mine went to West Point and told me this. If you got a de-merit, your punishment may be to spend Sunday afternoon patrolling the parade ground outside the dorms. If there were several cadets out there they would march a slow march sneaking up on each other playing tag. Also, cadets up in the dorm rooms would rig surgical tubing into sling shots on the window frames. They would work out artillary missions by indexing the length of tubing plus the location on the grid on their floor created by the floor tile. They would load the sling shot with a small carton of milk (appropriated from the dairy on the base) and spoil your day as you crossed the area below. haha..... good stuff, Cavie74 !

deftguy Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 In 81 I hit a judge with my flag on the shoulder really hard. He followed me all over that field trying to tick me. That night he failed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina09Spirit Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Very interesting readings I find here. Wish I had more access to the footage you people are referring to, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouooga Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 In 05, I think in Pennsylvania, we were almost done with our closer. A judge (don't know which one) got knocked completely down by the snares. When he got his bearings and saw so many members running around him, I think he panicked and just dove out of the way. In doing so, he ended up tackling 4 mellophone players. The whole thing was pretty ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
