The next step is an all day event known as the 'rat breakout,' which requires freshmen to complete in physical and team exercises.
"They've been engaged in a series of events since they got here in August and the 20 mile march is one of the culminating events and we're narrowing down the culminating events now," says Stewart MacInnis, VMI.
