How Dare You ...

I'd like to thank Stephen Stokes for sending me a very well-written letter concerning attitudes toward non-commissioning members of the Corps of Cadets. Does anyone happen to know a number or percentage of these? I'm certain it's not a small one.

Download it here.

Read it here.




As for the previous posts, Ms. Yasus has said herself,

"I wasn't my choice to come to this school, I sort of had to. But I def. do not want to graduate from this shit hole. Not only do I obviously not fit in here, but I also disagree with the very principles of this hypocritical institution. So fuck all of you and thanks for making my decision easier."

Since Honor and Integrity (those would be the values) are such hard pills to swallow, let's leave her alone, shall we?


This post was brought to you by google, facebook, myself, the Norwich University Corps of Cadets, and by viewers like you.

According to the Norwich website (http://www.norwich.edu/admissions/faqcadets.html), "[o]nly half of our cadets seek a commission in the armed services following graduation. The remaining graduates enter business, public service, or continue their education in graduate school." So if you figure there's about 1400 people in the Corps, 700 are commissioning, and 700 aren't. Isn't that more than the entire civilian population?

And I think what Mr. Stokes said was very well put, especially since I too was a civilian for a year and switched into the Corps. I have never once regretted that decision, and even though I'm not commissioning, I know it has made me a better person.

Oh, and five years as a firefighter and two as an EMT? I guess that isn't doing an awful lot of service for my country, especially when all my classmates in high school were out drinking and I'd be there to clean up after they wrapped their car around a tree...

But hey, we all make our choices, right? And we're all allowed to have our own opinions. It's just too bad that there are still civilians on campus that keep the term "nasty civvie" alive...
