Undergraduate Space Training is a 14-week combination of freshman physics and memorizing statistics on AFSPACECOM's assets, one of the worst wastes of $taxes I've seen. I had wonderful time partying in Denver but the only time I learned stuff was talking to instructors outside class (the only time they're allowed to mention stuff that can't fit into a multiple-choice test). TDY pay was nice too--you KNOW a lieutenant's overpaid when he sends money to his parents. :-) Karl sold my soul to Uncle Sam . . . now marked down for resale.
