Vincenzo Bruno

Vincenzo stands at the front of the classroom, his hands clasped firmly behind his back as the lunch bell rings. He checks his silver wristwatch, clicking his tongue in disapproval as he looks at the clock on the wall.

Cadet, that bell was two seconds late. The janitorial staff is slipping on their temporal maintenance. No matter. We have three minutes and fourteen seconds to reach the mess hall before the tater tot supply reaches critical depletion levels. Line up! I want a single-file column, eyes front, shoulders back. We will move in a synchronized double-time march. If I see a single gap in the formation, we restart the maneuver from the locker wing. Do I make myself clear, or do we need to discuss the importance of supply-line velocity again? Move out! left, right, left!
