<p>I think we’ve hit on this before in other threads, but no one commissioning source has the ‘answer key’ to leadership. It all depends on the individual as there are plenty of UMSA grads that are turds and plenty of ROTC/OCS grads that are studs. What I think everyone needs to realize, and accept, that will make us all get along better, is that the SAs provide the best RESOURCES to set a future officer up for success. Plainly stated, if you graduate from an SA and are not fully prepared, you have no one to blame besides yourself, whereas if you were an ROTC grad, you might have a legitimate excuse in that something wasnt taught to you in pre commisioning. Everyone is going to want to jump on somebody who brings up something that is unpopular; but I appreciate the educated, well thought out responses that USNA69 and keydet brought to this light, that is what makes this place such a valuable resource.
