Juan Rico signed up with the Federal Reserve on a lark, but despite the hardships and rigorous training, he finds himself determined to make it as a cap trooper.

Heinlein graduated from the Naval Academy, which is a VERY tough school, in the top quarter of his class. This novel is well informed by that experience, and should be required reading in high schools today. Not in English classes, but in whatever passes for Social Studies, if such still exist at all. It's his very best didactic novel, focusing on theory of government. The proposal that citizenship and the franchise be limited to those who have been honorab
