If you really think it takes political pull to get into Officer
Candidate School, they probably dumped your butt on attitude alone.

That's a pretty extreme statement, Jay. What do you mean by "more"?
And since you didn't include "IMHO," what evidence can you offer?

Anecdotal, no doubt, but from 1988 through 1990 I tried to get into
the Air
Force, the Navy, and a local Air National Guard base as a pilot. In
every
case I was told by the recruiters that competition was never more
fierce
than this period, thanks to "that movie, 'Top Gun.'"

Needless to say, I was not accepted. I didn't have the political
connections needed for Officer Candidate School.
