<p>I agree shogun, as I said before, I did not make that statement with any animosity. I made it as a statement of fact and to make the point that a candidate can meet all addmission requirements and still not be offered an appointment. The nature of the academies is that everyone who makes it past the nomination process is the cream of the crop. Mister Sinister is trying to crunch the numbers, so to speak, to try and figure out weather he has a chance at an appointment. Again my point is “just apply” and do everything in your power to ensure that no stone was left unturned in the application process.</p>
