At the time I didn't even know it existed. It has standards rivaling West Point. And a congressman has to recommend you for admission.

Exactly like that, M'am.
It included military-grade fire fighting training. Back in my day graduating was going through a tunnel, pitch black, filled with obstacles and dense smoke, wearing a World War 1-like gas mask, sergeants shouting "give up, maggot, you can't save any one, you can't even save yourself".
