At least for a month or so.
The plebes scaled the monument in 2 hours, 35 minutes and 59 seconds, about twice as long as the better times in recent years.
It is an old military aphorism that no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy, and if the Class of 2011 had a strategy, it rapidly fell apart against the monument’s stout defense.
Like plebe year - like many things in the service - climbing Herndon is hard, and it takes teamwork.
Then suddenly it’s over.
