No, it is not required for admission. It is, however, required for graduation. If you are considering coming here, don't worry about the IOTC, it's really easy to pass.
Some of you may remember a time when WP considered killing the IOCT. The powers-that-be claimed that it discriminated against blacks, females and football players. Gladly, I was there to preserve it. The IOCT is a right of passage. It scares the hell out of all of us. Yeah, but so does dodging bullets in Bosnia AND Iraq.
Suck it down, bitches. And don't grab the shelf. That is not how you climb it. Pinch it and push forward--do not make love to it. You will climb it. Momentum.
Practice, practice, practice.

Have they taken the asbestos out of the building, yet. Nothing like the feeling of burning lungs.
