<p>Thanks again for all of those who have taken time to post on this. I have been talking to family friends and teachers that I respect here, tirelessly. This is a decision that either way I need to take to heart, and all of you have grasped my seriousness. Thanks.</p>
<p>The manner in which old grads always discuss their lives at WP seems to be fairly constant. There’s a little joke about what certain grads have engraved in their ring, “IHTFP”. One day it means “I Have Truely Found Paradise”, the next it means “I Hate This F***ing Place”. That pretty much sums it up, albeit rather coarsely. On one day I have plans to do airborne and air assault this summer, the next something happens where I become completely disenchanted with the student body. Never decide anything permanent on a bad day, though.</p>
<p>My Dad is trying to link me up with a CIA buddy that was an Army Vietnam vet for an AIAD this summer (AIAD takes the place of a graded course for your major, but gives you realtime job experience). I figure if I do it and really like the CIA, I can still get out before Cow Committment. If I feel that service in the Army is almost a prereq. to getting a field agent slot, then it makes no sense to leave. Only time will tell at this point. </p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
