Interesting results from a self-scored test by cadets that correlated with first year washout/success at West Point.
First year cadet hazing is a different beast entirely from an SFAS assessment/selection or analog.

I'm going to have to pick that book up to see what she has to say. Unless she was interviewing folks that were cadets prior to the 1970s, she didn't interview anyone that had been truly 'hazed' as a Plebe. Even the moderate stressors I faced in the late 80's are magnitudes greater than what today's cadets face, as evidenced by resignation rates out of Cadet Basic Training that hovered around 100 a generation ago, but today run less than 15.
