"Let's see who can make the biggest explosion!"
Speaking of "explosions"; FIREWORKS of all kinds were very much a passion at KMI.  That is, a passion among the cadets and a challenge for the administration!  Each school year brought new attempts to devise inventive ways to shoot off M-80s', cherry bombs, etc.  The burning cigarette and the fuse was always good for complete stealth.  The real challenge was finding a way to launch them without being seen.  "Water balloons" also qualified in this category.
