I wasn’t making it another course. The Citadel course is a final test for the Cadet's basic training, of course the Citadel test was hard, but it was designed to be difficult to put pressure and stress on the trainees in order to simulate real combat situations. It is a challenge all cadets must go through and to be subjected to the process of building a relationship where each life depends on the person next to them.

Some aspects of basic training are psychological: instructors reason that recruits who cannot reliably follow orders and instructions under pressure in routine matters will likely be unreliable in a combat situation wherein they may experience a strong urge to disobey orders or flee and thereby jeopardize themselves, their comrades, and the mission. Cadets in a combat unit will experience a unique level of 'agreement' among participants, termed unit cohesion, that cannot be equaled in any other human organization because each team member's life may depend on the actions of the recruit to their right or left.
