<p>2010: While I got a great chuckle from your lighthouse quote (sure hope that was a legend), my favorite was the Arleigh Burke quote:</p>
<p>“Naval officers must therefore understand not only how to fight a war, but how to use the tremendous power which they operate to sustain a world of liberty and justice”</p>
<p>Sorry to stir things up again. Yes I know that there is zero chance that the supe or dant knows or cares what I think. Yes I know about chain of command. However, my opinion as a US citizen is that mando study hours for those who have demonstrated academic excellence unnecessarily belittles mids. I will rapidly change my stance if a current mid (jadler???) clarifies that upperclassmen in top standing are being encouraged to assist other mids with their studies, or to otherwise develop their leadership skills, physical readiness, etc.</p>
