The Blue Zoo Bob Thompson

Does that Upperclassman really want to kill you? Find out with Bill Johnson as he enters the U. S. Air Force Academy with the Class of '84 & his fictional fight through Beast, the Dark Ages & Hell Week. Based on true stories, Air Force heroes & Academy folklore, Blue Zoo tells how rough "free" college tuition can be. Who will survive the hellish 36% washout rate? Soon, the hazing takes its toll on the freshmen as they break or rebel. Inspired by Academy Grads who went on to become heroic Vietnam Fighter Pilots & POWs, the Doolies fight a secret war against their oppressors. After making the Cadet Wing shake & roar, Johnson needs a new path to success, maybe a new start at Indiana University? He wants to study art, fall in love and learn to fly. But the Blue Zoo doesn't forgive or forget & neither does the evil Lt. Col. "Heartbreaker." If you're out of formation with the rest of the flock does that mean you're wrong or mentally ill? Maybe you just need to follow your own path & either: lead, follow, or get the flock outta the way!
