<p>Absolutely. We are looking at the cream of the crop, the best of the best. They ARE being recruited by civilian colleges and are comparing the military with lucrative civilian careers. Do I want to live in a foxhole or do I want to be an orthopedic surgeon pulling in mid-six figures before I am thirty? The ambivilence can continue well past an initial decision. When they reach out for help, they do not need “reflection(s) on general principal” to further enforce their “unworthiness”. Give them a break. They are obviously in turmoil. General principal pontifications probably belong elsewhere. And no, I don’t care to win a debate or even debate it. If you want to start a thread concerning reasons for resignation, do so. Let’s not do it at pyoo’s expense, implied or otherwise.</p>

<p>Don’t change the parameters and then tell someone they are silly. There is a huge difference between applying and getting on the plane. There are many, most actually, who do not know the extent of the finances when they are applying and don’t really care. I suppose they know that it is “free” but expect ancillary costs and certainly do not expect a salary. It is the least of thier concerns. I have had several candidates tell me that, absolutely, yes, they will accept NAPS. Their, or their parents, following question is; “how much will it cost.”</p>
