Don't think so. What brings someone to a SA, what keeps them there, and their motivation upon graduation are three separate entities. A disproportionally high percentage of USNA IC athletes opt for SEALS, EOD, USMC, and Aviation. The football team and USMC especially. I doubt if this was...

+1 The option is the great equalizer. It is interesting to watch opponents who play Navy the second and third times slowly adapt with both the discipline and techniques necessary to stop it. There seem to be more and more teams who cannot compete for top notch players going to it. Tune in...

The Chesapeake is ideal because it is large enough for the YPs to perform all their maneuvering drills while this is not true for the Hudson. As to the general discussion, note that throughout the thread ROTC graduates are continuously being compared to those from USNA. Hence one of the...
