<p>Ok. You talk from now on usna09mom. LOL Ya know, when you’ve been outta school for a while and you read stuff like this, it is absolutley fantastic. And yep, that 13 page letter is indeed a treasure. He writes so very well that he brought the whole thing to life for us. He just got put into an essay contest by his prof. for a paper he’d written.

<p>I agree with oiixxg 110%. As Mids, you represent the Academy and what you say or do reflects on the institution itself.

When you sign those papers, you belong to something above & beyond yourself. Take care not to give fodder to those who would seek to use your words against you.</p>
