They're Real People Now!


I promise this will be my last post about the crazy military training that freshmen have to do...because, well...its done.  Last Tuesday, I was convinced by a handful of my more persuasive students to cancel class ("Just free us!!" - Persuasive Chinese Student) and go down to the field and watch the ceremony.  It was like any other military graduation-thing, I guess.  Marching around in formation, showing off skills that were learned and a lot of staying still while people talked in Chinese.  Obviously, I took a lot of pictures.

11th Formation.  These girls are part of the English department - so they will be my problem soon.  Well, not mine, actually.  Carter is the only one that has a few freshmen classes.

All neat in little rows.

Have some scale.  A lot of little soldiers there.

These guys had some pretty awesome rifle fighting skills they showed off.


I think these were special forces trainees?  Not really sure.  They showed off a lot of close-combat stuff. 

You don't see that in the USA,
