It is funny to see the same "story" told and retold from different perspectives. The rumor mill is alive and well at West Point!
From a parent perspective it is rather humorous. I learned long ago to take my kids' grumblings with a grain of salt.
Keep in mind - the Commandant was very visible all summer. He has had an opportunity to "get to know" the plebe class and "bond" with them. He ran with them, rucked with them and rode in a Chinook with them. I get the impression that he will continue to remain very visible - perhaps he will "get to know" the upperclass and "bond" with them as well.
I am sure when the first class of plebes was issued laptops there was an outcry from the upperclass who had desktops. If it makes you feel any better they got printers but no cables for the printers. The cadet store did not have 1300 cables in stock. I am sure that if the plebe class next year is issued wireless printers there will be a similar outcry.
frijoles - Oh to be a fly on the wall!
