Ok, you have the general who commanded all the forces in Viet Nam coming to speak. This is a big deal. You have prepared and you have everything ready, except... you have two cadets that are a bit more "rambunctious" than most. They aren't bad, and one of them has a father who is very influential, and you can't really hide them as who knows what they will do then. What to do? Instead of hiding them, you make them the general's escorts. You know, while they maybe more lax than the rest of the cadets, they wouldn't be around him. These two are professionals after all, so they are not going to screw around in front of him. Believe it or not that actually happened. And it turned out fine, just as our general, who was the president of the school knew (hoped) it would.
The reason I write that is I have been going through and scanning in old pictures and I came across some of them. Of course this can be put down to youth; and the solution was unique. But it came from knowing, that no matter what, they were not going to embarrass themselves in front of this general. Those two have also gone on and lead pretty good lives, so it all worked out in the end.
