<p>Much to my chagrin, I control neither the press nor the timing of USNA/USN scandals. </p>
<p>The Marcus Curry affair is an embarrassment to the USNA and and clear indication that the administration is clueless, and is looking to win football games over honor and integrity. The Capt Graf affair also brings to light some of the “Navy bad” things that you would rather hide under the bush, keeping some of the (bad) realities of the USN hidden from potential candidates?</p>
<p>They (USNA) seem to be getting a lot of attention for a lot of things lately that do not paint them in the best light (the above incidents, plus the Mid charged with sexual solicitation of a minor, and the two or three in the past 9 months that have been charged with theft) and yes, that is relevant to a young person who may be soon taking a decision on applying or accepting to a an institution that is slowly being tarnished by the actions of those running it, a few of those attending it, and a few of those graduating from it.</p>
