The only college grad in my basic company was a big guy who repeatedly told his fellow trainees how ignorant and stupid they were. He got a REAL blanket party in the middle of the night, by several trainees who threw a blanket over him as he slept, and beat him with entrenching tools. He had to go to the hospital, and the perpetrators weren't caught, nor did anyone rat them out. I kept my mouth shut and did what I was told, that's how I got through basic with few hassles.
