<p>USNA1985 Nor do I want to get into a legal discussion. My point has been all along that many times in life we have to make hard choices and cannot do it all. Once one makes a commitment that really should be the end of the discussion. </p>
<p>Like Law School, graduate School, and pro sports - if there is a will after 5 years there will be a way. Law school will require review and prep courses - pro ball will require staying in shape and practicing. What really is the difference?</p>
<p>I used Law School as an analogy (yes it is something my Mid aspires to) I am disappointed that this new graduate would think he should be afforded something that his shipmates are not. </p>
<p>Like jadler says - his words are troubling. IMO the Academy did not take anything away from this individual. He really never “had it” in the first place if he truly respected his commitment.</p>
