    Army Branches for Civilian Success

    Good points. I’d add a few other things to consider: -Admissions has become an arms race. Median GMATs are moving higher and higher, along with GPAs. -MBA admissions officers at top schools absolutely decipher the military. For one, they have a lot of experience with it. Thousands of military...

    Army Branches for Civilian Success

    In the past 4 classes of Harvard Business School, only one logistics officer and one AG have matriculated. Compare that to several dozen pilots, various SOF, infantry, and engineers. Only about half of the Army admits from any class are USMA grads.

    Any Osprey Pilots That Could Share Their Experience?

    It requires taking the military competency exam, which is actually no joke because it involves a lot of esoterica about Part 135 that you don't learn in flight school. The exam used to be one of two types, the MCA (airplane) or MCH (helicopter). As of 2018 it was replaced with the MCN...

    Army Branches for Civilian Success

    This is largely untrue, I'm afraid. If you look at the top schools, you'll find that most of the veterans in the most competitive classes tend to be pilots, SOF, and combat arms. Notable outliers with large representation include the Navy Nuke community. Among my class, 6 of the 18 Army admits...

    College entrance scandal today

    I'm glad to see the Naval Academy wasn't implicated...probably because no one has to cheat to get into Navy.

    Echo Company

    Mostly things I’d never share here. Suffice it to say there are a LOT of thoughts about that organization and about this article (that reveals way too much).

    A sad day at West Point

    It’s “strange” because it makes an unwitting and unwilling father out of a dead man. It’s hardly the technology that’s the strange part.

    A sad day at West Point

    We are well within our rights as individuals to question the idea of sperm harvesting—an idea so outside the concept of normalcy that a judge had to be involved for it to happen. Do you hold the same “hands off” policy on honor killings, genital mutilation, forced marriages, or other aspects of...

    A sad day at West Point

    This is tremendously, tremendously weird and not at all an okay thing to do.

    Boo leaving USMA

    Worst football scheduler. Good coaching hires, but a disaster as a scheduler.

    VERY OFF TOPIC: "So many nights I just dream of the ocean, God I wish I was sailing again...."

    Uh...yeah. Ain't a lot of milennials paying $250 to see Jimmy Buffett looking like re-animated beef jerky up there. Boomers absolutely ran, and still run, the music industry. Do you think the majority of profits from those record sales went to the artists? Oh, sweet summer child... (PS: MP3s...

    Possible SEAL Team 3 Member Photographed Helping Kenyans During Terror Attack

    I seriously hope a US “operator” wears whatever kind of jeans he or she likes without concern for what some old folks in their armchairs think about his or her style choices while executing violent action in support of the American way of life. What’s wrong with skinny jeans? Are they not...

    Why do either of you care what style of jeans someone wears?

    Possible SEAL Team 3 Member Photographed Helping Kenyans During Terror Attack

    What a trash article. Yes, all the tangible evidence points to UKSF which is consistent with 22SAS presence in the country but CLICKS CLICKS DELICIOUS CLICKS.
