Exclusive: The Dant Interview, Part One (GoMids.com)

<p>The logic of Captain Klein’s argument completely escapes me! It’s so wacky that my head is spinning after reading the interview. I can’t decide if the answers or questions were more confusing. Also, exactly how many upperclass were drinking four nights a week? I find it hard to believe that problem was very widespread.</p>

<p>"… unlike in the past when grades and physical fitness were primary factors in determining eligibility for movement orders, Klein now wanted an official endorsement from the midshipmen’s company officer.</p>

<p>“I just told [the company officers] – we don’t want to take a minimalist approach to this – we don’t want someone just barely scraping by and just doing the minimum to be allowed [to go]. [We want] somebody who is proving themselves and their ability to understand leadership.</p>

<p>Klein continued, “One of our intentions was to make sure that we were trying to get mids out of the attitude of saying, ‘Well I’m not unsat so I should be able to go.’ [We are] trying to raise the bar.”</p>

<p>Does one have to max out the PRT and be on the Supe/Dant’s List to qualify for a movement order?</p>
