The Envelope

<p>

<p>Agree with you 100% there (and no, I’m not trying to kiss up to him since he may make my S’s life miserable this summer!). No attack was intended. Just trying to clarify why it’s OK to make someone sound like they can walk on water when you write thier performance report, but it’s not Ok for that same guy to brag about his super-human abilities. (and hopefully give all of you a lesson towards being a successful cadet and future officer). </p>

<p>As flymom has so beautifully pointed out, humility is an important characteristic for an officer, one I’m sure everyone here has in spades. Me? I’m full of it! (humility, that is:) </p>

<p>Why am I not worried when everyone here jokes around a little about being tough (and a little masochistic)? Well, you’ll also find out in the military that there is nothing wrong with a little sense of humor (how else are you going to survive the hardships your sure to face in the life of a military officer?) </p>

<p>Besides, I think the folks posting on the USNA side are a little jealous that the posts here for the most part are more light-hearted and civil. Both sides are filled with great advice and information, the AF side just make it easier to digest. (OK, I may have just fired the first shots of a major war there! To my friends on the Navy-side, I kid! You’ve got some real intelligent and informative folks posting there. Please keep the great advise coming!)</p>

<p>Now, all of you. Back to your studies!!! :)</p>
