Introduction:

A paramilitary organization is a semi-militarized force whose organizational structure, tactics, training, subculture, and (often) function are similar to those of a professional military, but is not formally part of a country’s armed forces.

In Inisfree, our paramilitary class combines many lessons taught in the Girl Scouts & J.R.O.T.C..

Keep in mind that our military is not based on covering up the body at all times, or trying to intimidate or kill most enemies, but on the two distinct natural genders, and on cleverly finding mutually-agreeable resolutions to building or in-progress conflicts, thus females serving in this capacity have completely different uniforms and gear compared to males.

Girl Scouts Training:

We mention the Girl Scouts, instead of both it and the Boy Scouts, because more than 90% of the population in Inisfree is always female.

backpacking
basic field medicine
campfire safety
canoeing (a precursor to sailing, which then leads into yachting)
helping collect donations, such as food or clothing
hiking (where Rykä footwear is introduced and “broken-in”)
identifying local flora (especially edible versus poisonous/irritating species/parts) and fauna
map reading and land (day and night) navigation (by compass, etc.)
memorizing the names and stories/concepts of famous female figures throughout world history (including kajirae)
storytelling (not necessarily/technically public speaking)
(dress) uniform sewing and cleaning, and awards-placement (getting students ready for Inisfree’s kind of uniforms)

Camping is focused on in another course at LHS.

J.R.O.T.C. Training:

The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps is a high-school organization providing some pre-military training on a voluntary basis, always without a service-contract requirement. It is followed by R.O.T.C. during college –also voluntary, though sometimes (at least in the human realm) requiring a service contract (often after completion of the first (freshman) year).

backpacking with military gear/devices
basic First Aid, plus an introduction to military First Responder practices (such as how to clean a chemical burn/mess, etc.)
intermediate field medicine (with the advanced components taught in our 17th through 20th grades)
canoeing from scratch (making a canoe out of a tree they fell and fashion/whittle)
helping provide security or manual labor; car washes, ditch digging, and forming “human conveyor-belts” for cargo
hiking in a military manner; foot patrols, hand-&-arm signals, basic ranger/scout work/techniques, etc.
memorizing military branch and unit names from nations around the world
military map-reading (and range cards)
understanding more about local and remote flora and fauna
reporting (tallying formation troops, making range-cards, radio use, etc.)
rescue procedures for methodically, safely, effectively triaging and evacuating people from fires and other dangerous situations
(field) uniform creating (such as with/for ghillie suits) and cleaning

Human JROTC programs/units tend to instill “instant willing obedience to orders”; mindless following, similar to “corporate slavery”, except with a militant/violent flare/aspect. Our JROTC lessons in this para-military class here instead teach tactical awareness, gracefully analyzing hierarchies and commands (orders from a command/er), and other more-refined skills.

We do not (in the JROTC portions of this para-military course) include a Physical Training (PT) team, a rifle team (for stationary marksmanship, which is taught later; at our Shooting Ranges), Color Guard (marching while carrying flags on short flagpoles), Drill Team (precision/technical/advanced marching, sometimes while tossing/spinning unloaded rifles), or Adventure Training team (as the adventures are covered in our camping class and others, as well as during the 13th grade’s “exodus” rite).

2023 Update: Astrology

In our para-military courses, we teach how some nations have secretly used astrology to predict conflicts, best strategies and tactics, outcomes, etc.; how you can foresee some tension, battles, tactical positions, whether you should engage or just observe, and so on.

2023 Update 2: Wildlife Signs

Because it can be a matter of safety/danger, we also introduce students in the classes of this course to how to identify:

(the 5 basic types of) bird calls –then which birds have which predators and prey, thus how those different bird-species’ bird-calls can be used as hints to which other wildlife may be nearby
how territorial different common species are; how far some eagles fly/defend, how far some bees fly in pursuit, how some species just piss-mark the boundaries of their territories (but don’t aggressively defend/control it), etc.
wild animals based on footprints/tracks
wild animals based on scat; fecal matter
wild animals based on tree scratches/damage
what intimidates / scares off different wild animals; snakes fear heat signatures taller/wider/larger than them, etc.
