Day two established the model for the rest of beast barracks and was much more challenging than the partial first day. The newest members of the Corps of Cadets were rousted for the breakfast formation by the unnerving discharge of the reveille cannon at 0530, or 5:30 a.m. Immediately following the meal, the Juliets met the notorious 1st Lt. Herman J. Koehler, instructor of military gymnastics and physical culture.
