Mark Skarr Wrote:The final year of IST Academy would see a marked split in the student body. Those who are going into the IST would have a far more military-style training regimen (worse than the actual IST would actually enforce). The other students would see a reduction in all military behavior, as they’re being groomed for life outside the academy.That completely ignores the IST's diplomatic functions, though.
The IST is not an army. It should not be trained as if it was.
