A tradition in the Red Army of The State has basic training ending with the Red March, a trip that has the entire group of recruits traveling by foot from one end of the country to the other, then back again, over an extended period of time, with everybody carrying their equipment, camping over night, and foraging off the land. Primarily, this is meant to get the group to get closer together, in accordance with the First Comrade's teachings. And to help that along, one member of the famous 3rd Support Battalion marches with select groups, to help sow the seeds of some rather gay behavior.
