Entering National Defense Academy
I was qualified to take the National Defense Academy because I had good grades for three years.
You can go to the National Defense Academy after 10 students in the grade. At the time of admission, I never thought about going to college.
And I wasn't ready because I was living as a student while working with the student organization and the executive committee.
The recommendation test is written and interviewed.
At the time of recommendation, it was customary to basically accept it.
Enter the interview for the second exam, which general high school students take in uniform, wearing the SDF uniform.
There was a feeling that he was clearly mistaken for an interviewer
Most of the students go to their specialized schools to become non-commissioned officers (sergeants).
Those who go on to the National Defense Academy are different, but they were congratulated and expected.
Life of National Defense Academy
April. I entered the National Defense Academy (in the Self-Defense Forces, admission and admission are clearly different meanings, admission is official admission (finishing the admission ceremony), and admission physically goes from school to admission ceremony. To)
Many enrollees and their families lined up in front of the gate.
A group of students passed through the gate in a SDF car without lining up.
After that, head to the reception desk of each designated battalion.
Arrive at school is almost the same process as when you were a student.
Students on the other side are waiting for you, and after introducing yourself roughly, you will have a physical examination, lend clothes, and sew a name tag. However, one difference was that the counter-counter was hungry and prepared everything from various daily necessities.
There are many unique customs in the National Defense Academy (I don't know about it now).
For me, who has been living in the Self-Defense Forces for three years, it seemed unusual. They should have been working hard day and night to become executive self-defense officials in the future ...
The first thing that surprised me was that I had to run, not walk in the hallways or outside.
Ordinary people should be instructed that "the corridor should not run", but vice versa.
I found out later
The logic was that "first graders don't have as much time as walking" → "so you shouldn't walk".
Was it not good to judge and run each when there was no time?
The next thing I learned from the turn was "salute on a fast walk."
When passing by a senior student, he salutes by shifting from a running state to a fast walking state, whether from the front or the back. If senior students are located in depth, salute each one repeatedly by running and walking. If you were in the unit, you would definitely think that you were an abnormal member.
There is cleaning in the evening. Initially, the first and second graders will work together under the supervision of the third grader. All procedures are fixed, and the procedure is performed in the order of top spraying, sweeping, and bottom spraying. You must not stop at all during cleaning, and you are required to do it at a tremendous speed.
The purpose of cleaning was to clean, but here the purpose was how faithfully I could act.
Uncyclopedia catches that it puts too much effort into cleaning, and ridicules it as "National Defense Academy is a school that demands cleaning masters." National Defense Academy-Uncyclopedia (ansaikuropedia.org)
When you enter another room, you have to do what is called "entry procedure". Immediately after entering school, there is training for this.
The order of entry and exit is
① "Knock + enter" ② "Open the door to the minimum and slide through the gap" ③ "Close while facing the door" ④ "Be careful + turn right" ⑤ "Agile 10 degree salute" ⑥ "Requirements State "
It sounds polite, but if you invade a room in this way in the general public, including the Self-Defense Forces, you'll probably get a lot of attention and weird guys come in.
When performing the entry / exit procedure, it was necessary to pack the jacket tightly into the pants and move while standing so-called Jojo. Seen from the side, he is an eccentric.
A more humorous sight awaits during the evening roll call, that is, when confirming the number of people.
The first graders run and gather in the state of Jojo standing while wearing the above-mentioned "dressing".
If you don't stand Jojo, your back will sag. During the roll call, the senior student grabs the back of the first grader's jacket and tries to pull out the jacket.
And, for some reason, the suspicion check is carried out in the evening when all the lessons and club activities are finished.
It was said to correct the suspicion of the first grader, but I don't think so.
The reason is that the clothes of senior students are very sloppy, they don't wear them tightly, and only the first graders practice them. This was common to all things.
When I was in school, there was a custom called "meeting." After the roll call is over, it is an event in which senior students sneak in the first grade together. It takes about 20 minutes, but he is surrounded on all sides and continues to be abused and dragged around. I'm not sure what the purpose is, but it seems to be part of the guidance. This also does not exist in the SDF unit.
There was also a culture of "calling". Senior students call junior students to hang them up loud, write reflections, and do air chairs and push-ups. I'm not sure what the purpose is, but it seems to be part of the guidance. Of course, if you do it in a unit, you will be disciplined immediately.
There is self-study at night, but when it is over, it goes out. For some people, the call starts again from there. It has already been talked about in the media, online, and trials, but human rights are further violated at night. If you are interested, please check each one.
Later, people who belonged to martial arts club activities tend to hit junior students easily. This is also a crime of assault, so you should stop it (though I don't think you're doing it now).
After four years, I felt that only the first graders wanted this, and the culture that senior students did not do was very unpleasant compared to the rest of the world.
Other than that, there is no end to it, but I hope that it has improved significantly now.
