United States Academy of Extranormal Studies: Difference between revisions

* ''USAES Advanced Infantry Technologies and Operations Program'' - founded in August 1929. (The ''Vitruvian Man'' with angelic wings, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kato_(The_Green_Hornet) a 'Kato mask'] and a 'third eye' placed before crossed Spartan-style spears and a rising sun.) It is traditionally the largest program at USAES, as any cadet who does not have powers that specifically warrant placement in any of the other programs are placed here; also, cadets who specifically wish to be considered for combat or law-enforcement duties after graduation may request to be placed in this program even if their powers would merit placement in another program. Since the mid-1970s, the program is often referred to by its members as '' 'KATO' '' (a slightly-skewed interpretation of the program acronym, and an homage to Bruce Lee, who actually took several AITO special seminars in the early 1960s instead of through the ''CAUSE'' program). The program patch was re-designed after Lee's death as further homage to him and his legacy as a fighter.
