“The relationship between [staff and cadets] should in no sense be that of superior and inferior, nor that of master and servant, but rather that of teacher and scholar. In fact, it should partake of the nature of the relationship between [parent and child], to the extent that [staff], especially [TAC officers], are responsible for the physical, mental, and moral welfare, as well as the discipline and military training of the young men under their [watch].” John A. Lejeune – USMC
