Members of the Class of 2015 were sworn in today and started their seven-week “Swab Summah,” a notoriously difficult boot-camp regimen of academic and physical training intended to transform them from everyday teens into potential Coast Guard officers. Swabs are both physically and mentally tested. They will run obstacle courses, complete ropes course challenges, and do numerous push ups.

Another example of man’s inhumanity towards man. Non Summah offers plenty of time for these shenanigans.
