    "Turned Down"

    I'm not saying what you said was harsh at all and I don't think that is the case other posters were referring too. I need to emphasize TXSUB's statement "One of the things I learned at USNA and as a sub JO is when to turn it on and when it’s ok to turn it off", this is what I am referring too...

    "Turned Down"

    I am reading through this thread and you can tell who takes life very serious. Here are my thoughts. Obviously, if your talking to a senior officer, then yes you talk to them with respect and appropriate language. However, if your talking to someone your age group then slangs and informality...

    Can you still finish your A-School training if this happened…?

    Has your friend had Captain's Mast? There should be a process where he can appeal but can't offer you more insight without more details.

    West Point football players are identified as six Spring Breakers who overdosed on fentanyl-laced cocaine in front yard of their Florida vacation home

    When it's Spring Break, college students make stupid choices and win stupid prizes. West Point Cadets aren't excluded from that. West Point Cadets come from society so they can make dumb choices too. Hopefully they recover and we get the full story but if it is indeed their choice to take on...

    NROTC MO, PLC and Army ROTC

    Have to add that if your DS does not like Army ROTC after a year or does not have the passion to be an Army Officer, he should jump ship. I jumped ship because the Army didn't have many options for fixed wing planes. If I just wanted to serve in the Military, than I would have just stayed in...

    NROTC MO, PLC and Army ROTC

    Damn right it is.

    NROTC MO, PLC and Army ROTC

    If he can, he should wait and see if he gets the MO Scholarship. If he is unable to wait that long, I would accept the Army ROTC scholarship. Also, nothing is virtually impossible. If your DS has a good PFT score, good GPA, and is dedicated to his unit, he could very well earn a scholarship...

    Stand and Fight …. No one gets out of this World alive

    It's not just about the chips either, quite a bit of Japan's trade and global trade goes through the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. Should China control Taiwan, that would put Japan on the edge when they realize China could cut their commerce off easily.

    Stand and Fight …. No one gets out of this World alive

    Yup, and that is biting Russia real hard in the butt. It's one thing to conscript people into the military to defend your country but if your conscripting people into your military and having them invade sovereign territory, the morale and the effectiveness of your military will be low.

    Stand and Fight …. No one gets out of this World alive

    We should definitely be taking notes from this situation. So should Japan and our allies in the Asia Pacific Region. As Putin pushes in, China is taking notes and basically asking themselves, "what can we do that Russia is doing wrong to improve our chances of taking over Taiwan"? The US and...

    Stand and Fight …. No one gets out of this World alive

    The point I was trying to make is that the majority of people here in the United States take our national security and defense for granted. While most of us will sympathize with the Ukrainians, the reality is that most people in the US and will continue on with their lives and watch March...

    Stand and Fight …. No one gets out of this World alive

    What I thought was just Sabre Rattling by Putin has really turned into a nightmare for humanity. I pray for the people of Ukraine and hope they prevail at the end. Unfortunately, they are the victims of this war. Events like these make me grateful that I live in a nation with a strong military...

    Toughest Decision of My Life

    Agree with this statement, if you are happy then you should stay put. At the end of the day, if you commission from ROTC or West Point, you are both the same rank. I know many people don't want to let go of their dream or desires to do what they want to do but people change and so do our...

    Russia/Ukraine

    Elon Musk, NBA, Wall Street, and the majority of Silicon Valley say no to this statement. I completely agree with you but it will be difficult to place sanctions when a large chunk of your company's revenue is being funded by a brutal regime regardless of the crimes they commit to humanity.

    Russia/Ukraine

    The President of Ukraine receives Daily Briefs of Russian Military activity the second he wakes up. These are extremely detailed briefs from his Political and Military Advisor's who are no stranger to these types of situations. The President of Ukraine sees more than we do, so perhaps what he is...
