I agree, the mods do a great job here of keeping discussion relevant and on track. The service academy section on a certain other forum site has been largely abandoned due to the lack of involvement by the mods. Regulars gave up on that site after it was overrun by a few self-centered and belligerent individuals.
This site has definitely been a source of excellent information and encouragement by many! Thanks to everyone for taking the time to share your experiences!
