"Let's see who can make the biggest
explosion!"
Speaking
of "explosions"; FIREWORKS of all kinds were very much a passion at KMI.
That is, a passion among the cadets and a challenge for the administration!
Each school year brought new attempts to devise inventive ways to shoot
off M-80s', cherry bombs, etc. The burning cigarette and the fuse
was always good for complete stealth. The real challenge was finding
a way to launch them without being seen. "Water balloons" also qualified
in this category. |
