2024 Military Classic of the South

[EEBTTF]

Wouldn't it be nice if the has been graduates from The Citadel and VMI would get off this forum and stop debating points that bring no value to the young men and women that are here seeking guidance? Who cares about what the athletes are doing ( I was a D1 athlete at Norwich - did not commission) - night school, online.....My guess is that those students are not visiting this forum for guidance, nor are they seeking a commission. You don't see this kind of banter on the Service Academy pages. Tighten Up!! Go to Facebook for your D*** measuring contests. - Transparency - I went to Norwich - My DS graduated from The Citadel and is now a 2LT/USMC.

That’s a bit over the top, but congrats and thanks to your son for serving and congrats to you for playing D1 sports. Pointing out that one school has 4000 students (half of whom are cadets) while the other school has 1500 cadets playing in a game called the “military classic of the South” is not D—- measuring. It’s a BIG difference between the schools. And while some here may not want to hear it, it may matter to some future students. My DS wanted a 100% military experience so he chose to apply to VMI and the SAs, for example. And to be clear, over 15 members of VMI‘s football team seek to commission in the US Military.

No doubt the schools are completely different, but your numbers are off regarding VMI’s team. Nearly 20 members of VMI’s football team seek to commission Army, and that’s just Army alone… doesn't include Marines, Air Force or Navy.
Definitely different schools.
I was at the game. When the teams took the field, everyone could see one team was a military school… ‘nuff said.
