Yes, you'll have to know the name of the Governor of Virginia. The reason behind that makes sense, if you think about it: since we're a state school, he's our Commander In Chief, not the President. Faculty and Staff who hold rank may or may not have served in the military, but they hold rank in the Virginia Militia (Unorganized).
VMI does not sell
The Bullet, more commonly known as the "Rat Bible," and I've never seen any kind of compilation of Rat Bible knowledge in one place online. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you end up coming here, it'll be issued to you on the first night you're here. Even if you were able to find one ahead of time, it may not do you much good in the end. Some of the information stays the same, but some of it changes from year to year.
And that's just about as much as I'm willing to tell you, for fear of cheapening an important part of the Ratline experience for you.
