<p>JRH,</p>
<p>Thanks for the list and would have to agree with most of your suggestions. </p>
<p>But, in the end, each of those mids (especially plebes) will have to use all of their abilities, mates, and academy recources available to make it through. A little positive reinforcement never hurts, but individually, they must be always focused on a major goal that allows them to continue to do all of thse things to survive and chose to remain here. For most of them, it is probably a special career goal or outstanding opportunities that could not be achieved anywhere else other than as a KP Graduate. Otherwise, they might choose to join their HS buddies at State U. and party their way through the next four years. Just my opinion.</p>
