nibot | ROTC

There is some bizarre spectacle going on in the nook between the Commons (think "student union" without the implication of student ownership or control) and the Quad area... there are a bunch of soldiers dressed up in green camouflage fatigues being screamed at by more soldier-types wearing brown uniforms, all the while being supervised by yet more military-types wearing white uniforms. Altogether it is quite ugly. A certain exercise at Stanford comes immediately to mind, and I'll keep the rest to myself. Mainly I wonder how they can hollar and scream so much without going completely hoarse. The batteries on my camera are dead, otherwise I'd try to get you a video... There's a slightly more "civilized" picture that occassionally loads on the www.rochester.edu home-page, although it still involves machine guns.
