No one is trained. It's the ultimate fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants marathon. I imagine that it's fulfilling in the end, though. Or something? I mean, kids are fucking evil. Moral-less, utterly selfish. We gotta do it or else the species won't survive, though. And kids are only evil until like age 7 or so.
