Everyone gets to go home at the end of Natty Guards’ annual training. Well, maybe not quite to “home.” Some get the joyous honor of going back to VMI for Early Return, where athletes, cadre, and staff all converge at the Institute to get ready for the academic year and the influx of Rats.

It’s also a time for shitbags to knock out a ton of PT’s by serving as the early return guard team. There, these lucky cadets will protect a nearly empty barracks 24/7, wearing wool in the hot and humid summer heat, surrounded by overly enthusiastic motards and thirds, and with nothing to do with their off time. Oh, yes, and they have neither air conditioning nor beds.

Oh, the Mother I, the eternally welcoming and lovely home we all look forward to returning to*.
