I am now a double drop-out

[HoreTore]

Either referred to as an inspection or, somewhat dismissively, as a chickens**t exercise.

I remember when we found a box of empty magazines. I jokingly asked the sergeant whether we should line all the magazines individually, or just line the boxes. His answer was to "cut silly questions". We should line the boxes.

An hour or so later, we got ordered to line each magazine individually.... That was fun!

The oral exam I had that week actually only took half an hour. Strangely, I was missing the entire day...
