Horrors! College kids actually drinking and pairing off with the
opposite sex? What is this world coming to?

As far as I'm concerned, the AF Academy has failed it's mission, and
the
tax dollars should be shifted to the Army and Naval Academies. There
is
no reason for it's further existence.

Bull****. Do you really think that there is no drinking and
whoring
going on at the Army and Navy Academies?

That may be, but one might reasonably wonder why any of them thought they
were
ordinary college boys and able to do the boozing and whoring that ordinary
college boys do. In any case, whatever the academy, they need to be shown
the
door on the basis of their display of conduct unbecoming of an officer,
etc.,
which I think is part of Art. 134 of the UCMJ. They're supposed to be
different
from and better than the ordinary and, if they aren't, they never will be
missed.

Outstanding post. I'm a Naval Aircrewman with 20 years mixed service. I
may
find myself flying with one of these grads at some point. The Service
Academy's
obligation to me is to ensure that I get the best they can produce. If they
aren't
the best get rid of them, I don't want them. If the leadership can't do
that, then
get rid of the leadership, for they have surely forgotten their duty.
