I never discussed my belief. My beliefs never entered into this. I never suggested that management courses have not been created to address *other different subgroups*. Managing specific subgroups have been addressed in the past and today. However, the millennial generation is the first...

Regardless of your belief, these courses do exist for managers and were created due to the issues of hiring millennials. These courses did not exist for other previous generations. There was no need for them. As I pointed out, I do not believe most service academy applicants are "typical...

Unfortunately, Christcorp was right on the button with the Millennial attitude. Do you know how many large well respected corporations give managers classes on dealing with millennials? How to get them to contribute, understand that just doing the job isn't enough for raises and promotions...

I agree there is some diversity when it comes to regions of the country. I have lived both up north and down south (NC). I grew up in NY state as well where we said soda in the eastern part and pop in the western part. There is not a whole lot of diversity between someone from NJ, NY, CT and...

State colleges receive state tax money to subsidize them. At least in our state they do. Thus we are subsidizing out of state students to attend our colleges when we give them scholarship money. If they all had to pay full out of state tuition regardless, then it might not be such a raw deal...

Exactly how does a kid with the same background (socioeconomic background, white collar job family, same European ethnicity, also from suburbs, etc. etc. etc.) from a neighboring state enhance the instate student's experience? Actually, it is vastly different than the SA experience. Both...

The application opening date is MOC dependent. When my son applied, the representative had a different date than the senators. If their website is not yet updated for the upcoming application cycle, you can call the office and ask them the time frame they expect it to open. Good luck!

Where do you get these numbers and conclusions from? I know of several out of state students who go to my state university and pay less money than if they went to their own home state university (scholarship). My son was offered a scholarship to an out of state university making it a far...

My position is if they take a dime of taxpayer funds (state or federal) then they need to put US citizen children first. If they don't take a dime of US tax payer money, then have at it in terms of who they decide to admit. For me, a state college should ALWAYS put residents first and...

Wasn't this the new PC poster emphasizing the need not to hear nor look at negativity? ;) Or was it to demonstrate the need to think before speaking. That it is important to think and be informed before speaking and that "speaking out of ones rear" is inappropriate and something other's...

When my son applied, he had both a congressional and senatorial nomination and didn't hear a peep from either of them. An email was sent notifying him that his portal was updated. I do recall applicants hearing in May and June during his application cycle. You aren't out of the running until...

North gate is the one for use by visitors, and it is open for specific hours. You can go to the USAFA academy website and there are links to visitor information. Also, be aware that with updated security, you may need a US passport in addition to your driver's license (depends on the state you...

Just let your family know that cell phone reception can be spotty. You can get a room with great reception and then one with terrible reception the following semester. It all depends on your cell phone service and where your room is located in the building. Some say one service is better than...

I think the concern extends past rooming with your squadron BFF. It is also about what if you get stuck with "that" roomate. Will others who are happy campers be forced to switch so that you get a break from "that" roommate? Getting stuck with "that" roomate and the options available to...

Squad dependent. Some have to switch regardless, even during C3C year. So though you may not have heard of it, I assure you that my and other cadets in other squadrons have. This is especially important if there are "issue" roommate situations. No one wants to be forced to sustain an unhappy...
