Well however things turn out for my DS, I just want you to know I agree wholeheartedly with your comments on the other thread... Kudos to you for having the guts to just call a spade a spade. Before you posted, I kept reading the post( in between feeling nauseous), because I could not believe the odacity of a current mid posting this on a thread where we all are hanging on every morsel of potential good news! What a jerk! Clearly he has no clue what opportunity has been afforded to him, but worse obviously has no clue what it takes to be a Naval Officer. ( I imagine nor does he care at this point).. As we say in the South, " He got the pickings while the pickings were good"...GOD help him if he does make it to the fleet... Those guys will " smell a rat... Or seagull) "...and eat him alive!
