		In SEMI parlance, the Ratline is 'the longest distance between two points', exaggerated routes around campus that freshmen had to follow, but in general it refers to the seven months of initiation they must endure to become cadets.
		They also invented some of the harshest hazing methods of the Ratline: the 'company room', a nightly session of corporal punishment and exercise; 'sweat parties', a company room conducted in a steam-filled shower room; 'straining' and 'finning out', which are taxing postures that Rats must hold; and 'ragging', or menially serving upperclassmen (Wise, 1978).
		The Ratline is administered by the upperclassmen in the barracks: the four floors of unlocked, spartan dormitory rooms, organized in balconies, outside staircases and communal bathrooms around a central courtyard, which are ranked by class from the ground floor of the senior class to the fourth floor of entering class.

		Freshmen on the Ratline are required to walk in straight lines, cut sharp corners, tuck chins in and put arms at their sides.

		But the point of the ratline is to tear all that away.
		One tradition that returned to the ratline after a year's hiatus was the issue of the rat bibles - VMI's self-described "source of all wisdom" - by the hulking Rat Disciplinary Committee.
		The rest of the ratline, though, was just the same, according to some of the leading authorities - those who have been through it.

	Where "Ratline" Comes From By Brendan I. Koerner
		The attack, he said, was designed to disrupt a "ratline" that was being used to shuttle Baathist officials in and out of Iraq.
		The most famous example is the post-World War II ratline that smuggled Nazis and their allies from Europe to South America.
		Because the freshman are called "rats" by the upper-classmen tormentors, the regimen is traditionally referred to as the ratline.

		Before climbing up into the shrouds, the ratlines are made up by measuring the length needed from ½" diameter line and then forming an eye splice in each end.
		Each ratline then gets secured to the outermost shrouds by a seizing and gets tied to the inner shrouds using a clove hitch.
		The ratline has to be of the right length to take the eye splices and clove hitches into account.

		Something akin to a Spartan agogy, the ratline was the first leg in a four- year rite of passage towards becoming a Keydet.
		Rats were required to relieve busy first classmen of some of their menial tasks, such as shining their shoes or brass prior to inspections, folding their laundry and the ever popular tearing down and stacking of their hayracks or beds… while they prepared for meal roll calls.
		Their enforcement of the “ratline” was not always observable nor appreciated nor unqualified.

		Draganavic was one of the principal operators of the so-called Vatican "ratline" that smuggled Nazis and their loot to South America between 1945 and the late 1950's.
		Beneficiaries of the ratline included Adolf Eichman, Klaus Barbie "the butcher of Lyons" and the notorious Croatian mass murderer Ante Pavelic as well as thousands of lesser known Nazis and collaborators.
		While file releases on the ratline date from as early as the 1983 Barbie case, a core of documents remain withheld on grounds of "national security." It is these documents the attorneys want from the Army and CIA.

		Since this is a fairly large vessel, I found it necessary to use primarily the large ratline set.
		The ratlines come in sizes and widths that are generally larger than what is needed and so they must be cut to size.

		As infiltration from the Syrian Ratline into Iraq continues, another jihadi's guide to entering Iraq from Syria has surfaced.
		Al-Islami paints a picture of an insurgency that to a significant degree relies on the financing, transportation and knowledge to come from the individual fighter, not from an organized support structure.
		While Al-Islami's guide is by no means fully representative of the insurgency and al Qaeda operations, it certainly helps diminish the myth of the Syrian ratline being comparable to the sophisticated Ho Chin Minh trail.

		On the morning of March 16, the day of Breakout, the rat mass was woken at midnight and taken on a 16-mile forced march through the back roads of Rockbridge County, scaring local citizens as they went along.
		For the next six months the rats were forced to walk the ratline in barracks, go to countless "sweat parties" and on several forced marches, often upwards of ten miles long.
		Third classman Matthew Vordermark called the 1998 Breakout "a joke." Second Classman Ian Bobbit said that the hill was "barely even wet, and the upperclassmen weren't even permitted to lay a hand on the rats." He also pointed out that, despite the unusually low temperatures, no rats were treated for hypothermia this year.

		The subject of the lawsuit is the "Ustasha Treasury", tens of millions of plunder and concentration camp gold stolen by the brutal pro Nazi WWII Croatian government.
		A complex series of post WWII transactions involved the Vatican Bank and Franciscan Order and permitted the Treasury to be used to fund the Vatican ratline or escape route for Nazi war criminals and reestablish former Nazis in South America.
		The Vatican Bank in its pleading is asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit because it is part of a sovereign government, the Holy See, and is therefore immune from the jurisdiction of United States courts.

		First of all, Agent John M. Hobbins of the 430th CIC noted in early 1951 that the CIC's budget for running escaping agents through the ratlines was scheduled to expire on June31, 1951.
		CIC Agent George Neagoy, the army's principal officer in charge of the ratline after Agent Lyon's departure, transferred from the CIC to the CIA in 1951, at exactly the time the army's ratline "franchise" was to be transferred to the agency.
