A U.V. Military Academy on Earth
Summary[]
Whether by draft or by enlistment, all U.V. recruits must attend a three-year preparatory program prior to service with the Unum Vires. After a year and a half of required classes, the final semester is spent focusing on a desired or assigned specialty, ranging from weapon's specialists to equipment operators. Once the two-year term is completed, graduates are assigned a battalion and sent off to a U.V. military base to begin their minimum service deployment of three years.
Structure[]
Students are split into three color "blocks" - red, yellow, and blue. This designation is determined randomly and will dictate the students' classmates, schedule, and instructors until their graduation. The instructors of U.V. academies are typically U.V. or U.C. veterans, licensed slagologists, or official historians. The aim of these instructors is to produce well-rounded cadets capable of entering military service with the skills required to survive and thrive harsh conditions in cooperation with Unum Ceres channelers. A typical first-semester schedule would look something like this:
