I'm a cadet.  Sounds about right.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Nice stealth pun!

Also a Kadet (closest to what I am, anyway).
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Without taking the KGB hack test I'm goiing to go ahead and say I'm a Cadet too.

I got Center SR, but that's not very satisfying since the SR broke in two so quickly during 1917, so "Center" doesn't tell you much.  I guess it means I would have had a lot of soul-searching to do come October.  :(

If it makes you feel any better, you would've been shot within the next 20 years anyway, so no need to sweat it.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Seems there's a clear majority of Kadets, SR, and Mensheviks. Long live the Provisional Government!

Hopefully, we'll make it to October (O.S)/November (N.S).   :P

I just strolled in on a grand tour and now will be making my voyage away again. :bowler:
