<p>I’m slighty disappointed my forum is tainted with all this non-sense about drinking. Ironically, I am one a few examples in my school of a kid who is straight as an arrow that still has a social life. My belief is that my kind of mind-set (Clean because it’s the right thing to do; cons far outweigh the pros of drinking) is what all Middies should have. I want to go to an Academy because I’m sick of my world where drinking is tolerated. If you want to drink, make ROTC priority 1. Whistle Pig did teach me something, not the right thing though: that my vision of USNA/USMA is scewed. I still have faith that the majority of cadets/middies share my belief that drinking is wrong because it is wrong(PERIOD). What I’m saying, don’t advertise the place as a possible drinker haven. Hopefuls like me don’t want it. </p>
<p>Anyways, my question has been answered. February 1st is approaching and I’m thankful for those who have contributed positively towards the answering.</p>
