| shogun- thanks for the post.
No easy answers.
And recruitment isn't getting any easier these days.
And with all due respect, not sure I would classify one service as being "safer" than another.... I think the parents of anyone brave enough to put on a uniform faces a lot of lost sleep, no matter which service colors their kid is wearing.
I do believe athletes are under the same obligation to complete the committment made when selecting a service academy....having said that, I am not opposed to when the clock starts ticking, and if it starts after a season or two of play, so be it. Any way you slice it, the numbers will be small.... the number of college athletes that continue professionally are small indeed. |
