Pretty outrageous but hardly a new phenomenon. There are innumerable stories where enlisted people got one award while officers involved in the same incident got a higher one, what a farce.

an old and tiresome theme. Cooper was the only grad student on the team this past year who graduated from another college, in the past decade I believe we have had 5 on the football team and 5 on the basketball team, one of whom was Gay Elmore the son the son of Maryland/NBA star Len Elmore who...

but of course hardly surprising for VaTech and TAMU as they are major FBS programs, it is uncommon for FCS players to get drafted unless they come from successful programs like Montana, North Dakota State or Georgia Southern (which is now FBS). The Citadel had 3 players drafted in the past...

AFA sends several grads each year to an accelerated 1 year "bridge" program to get a BSN, currently the only service academy with this option. Otherwise you can apply to a Nursing program at a civilian college join ROTC and compete for an ROTC Nursing Scholarship. The Citadel is starting a BSN...

wow, some people really know how to beat a thread to death. Unfortunate that some want to twist things for questionable purposes and blather on about every minor detail.

My experience with The Citadel is that most stories about hazing are either grossly exaggerated or plain false. Does it happen, yes but clearly the exception not the rule. There are idiots in every group that take things too far and its happened everwhere including the FSAs.

No maybe enough of the multiple aliases of NAS, must figure he can create them faster than they can get banned.

you can apply anytime after the end of your junior year in high school; once application, transcripts and SAT scores are received a decision is usually made within 2-3 weeks. The freshman class is usually filled by the first of March so getting an early start is important, especially concerning...

of course, I have been an alumni admissions laison for 16 years and have no idea about the programs on campus. You were once merely annoying now beyond sad.

Appalling. Grossly unprofessional to see military members in uniform covered with tattoos, just the latest example of how PC and social experimentation are destroying DOD

folks its simple economics. Colleges are taking in more and more out of state students because they pay more money but the number of families who can afford the cost is dwindling so schools will take anybody with an open checkbook. State support for public colleges is eroding rapidly so gotta...

our country is slowly slipping into anarchy; governments give in to every vocal special interest with some ridiculous demand because its their "right" and you are "intolerant" and "discriminatory" if you don't let them have what they want. We are a nation of victims, whiners and panderers with...

above post by "LarrayV" is a hoax, sounds like NAS at it again. There are no civilian day undergraduates except active duty military and small number of veterans. Evening Undergraduates are part time and must have an Associates Degree from Trident Tech.

I do believe USMA grads have to be rebranched due to their payback requirement
