Alaska Military Academy is presented as an extremely strict, cold, and oppressive place, both because of its rules and the climate, which reinforces how miserable it is for him. The school functions almost like a juvenile detention center: the cadets live under constant discipline, physical punishments (push-ups, laps, guard duty), rigid hierarchies, and zero tolerance for rebellion. Everything is geared toward breaking the students' will and forcing them to obey without question. A key figure is Commandant Spangler, a sadistic and vindictive officer.
