    3rd Verse

    Does anyone here have a good recording of the 3rd verse? After searching for it, I can only find some very quick, upbeat choral versions. I can't seem to find one as sung as the alma mater. Does anyone have a copy, or know where to find one?

    Article on Fuzzy vs Techie courses at Academies

    Interesting debate going on here. Are the Service Academies stuck on "techie" thinking? http://contraryperspective.com/2014/12/17/americas-military-academies-are-seriously-flawed/ He makes some interesting points, but I'm not sure the academic curriculum is the best place to address this...

    Fighting against ROTC's return

    Before the repeal of DADT, some of us here wondered if colleges that banned ROTC would be eager to see it return. Well, the debate has certainly started. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/dec/27/resurrecting-rotc-on-college-campuses/ ...and one that might make a few people's blood...

    I am kind of sad that I'll have to go without my music collection (or access to music) for a few months. What little things are you going to miss during the next year? :tomcat: Where's the F-15? or the F-22?
