    U.S. Threatening Pakistani Sovereignty?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7628890.stm My question: where does the idea of following "terrorists" wherever they may run go too far? Should we ignore the sovereignty of another country in the pursuit of militants?

    What I Did Today

    Thanks to a rule that allows people with appointments to the Coast Guard Academy rides in Coast Guard aircraft, today I got a 30 minute flight in an HH-65C helicopter from Air Station Detroit! We took off from Burke-Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, headed west and flew over my house and high...

    Academic Year Treatment

    Sorry if this has been asked already. What is life like after Swab Summer but before getting carry-on? Are 4/c treated like dirt the entire year or does it "cool down" a bit once the academic year starts? Any input is appreciated, thanks.

    I'm mailing in my applications for Presidential and VP noms, and I was wondering if there was any way I could track whether or not the right people receive them. I'd imagine I could call USAFA about the Presidential one since it's addressed to them, but what about VP? Any ideas?
