<p>Sorry, SS. Maybe he is, maybe he’s not.
Maybe he has an opportunity to grow, change, right the wrongs… etc.

<p>Poppy & Maj have made good points, with the uniting thread being about taking responsibility for ones own life, make the most of each opportunity, and (additionally) working to make things better … That is a characteristic of this forum… CONstructive sharing. </p>
<p>Make that your goal. Your last response could have been more thoughtful.</p>
<p>Besides:
- If he IS full of what you say, then your response won’t change anything or make him go away… just the opposite… He’ll post a retaliatory response as well… Unproductive escalation. [ Mostly, you’ll see that happen on other service academies forums, some on the East coast, maybe in MD <grin> ].
–or– - If he IS NOT full of what you say, then your response won’t change anything or make him go away… just the opposite… He’ll post a retaliatory response as well… Unproductive escalation. </grin></p>

<p>Here’s a tip, however. ANYone can be a DisruntledAlum no matter WHERE they went to school. Be determined to overcome any obstacle. Look for positive ways to make a difference while you are there AND after you have (hopefully) graduated. It’s a hard place . It’s a VERY hard place. </p>
<p>Do they have some great teachers? Yes!
Do they have some teachers whose style is NOT great? Yes again!
(Admin, like at EVERY school, works to make things better. And I’m sure the VADM & newer head guy for Academics are working hard to make sure that DA’s complaints have lesser basis at time goes on… I’ve seen good strides, and my kid’s just a plebe now)</p>
<p>You are going to find you have bosses/coworkers/complaints JUST LIKE THAT in the real world everywhere you go. You probably experienced the same in High School… but this little KP pressure cooker amplifies it considerably.</p>
