I learned ninja skills from the midnight attacks on other troops campsites as the camporees. i learned how to stay up all night and still be functional the next day. I learned how truly violent capture the flag could be, especially when played in the middle of the night in an already dark forest. I learned that there are no limits to cruelty when it comes for a pack of little renegades. In short, I grew up with pack of criminals that rivaled those in Lord of the Flies.
