Greatest Marine and General ever. If it is good for Chesty Puller, it is good enough for me.

Last year there was a thread discussing cadets that were getting disenrolled right before graduation. A USAFA grad posted that he is from Colorado Springs and he represents cadets when they have problems at the Academy. If anyone remembers his name or username. I have a couple of questions for...

We have been here a long time. It would be cool to meet up and compare notes. It would be really cool to meet up with the people that met up the night before I-Day at the Rockies game. It seems like ti was yesterday, but it is almost 4 years.

This is the week the Seniors find out if they got the job they requested. Good luck to all of them, and God Bless them for what they are about to embark on.

We had a great time. The classes we went to were very interesting and I left feeling I could sit and talk to one of my son's teachers for hours (he was that interesting and knowledgeable about the Middle East). It was great to meet one of the regular posters here. Her daughter is one squared...

June 26, 1898, the man that has been called a Marine's Marine was born. In my opinion, the greatest general this country ever produced, and a true friend to the working warriors (the enlisted man). I would have followed him to hell and back, a lot of Marines did. Thank you for your service.

I have a son that is in his 2nd year of college. He is declaring a Biology major. He is considering going AFROTC. Not that it makes a difference, his older brother is a 3rd year cadet at USAFA. A few questions. With a Biology major, what are his chances of getting a slot? He had OCD...

My son is renting a car to get to the airport on Wednesday. He will be leaving USAFA in the mid afternoon. He would like some help with the cost. If anyone would like a ride and is willing to split it with him, it is more comfortable than riding a bus, and a lot more convenient. PM me and I...
