<p>Maybe I’m unique - but when people make negative comments about ROTC or SAs I try never to use that as an opportunity to vent or respond in kind. In my experience most people just don’t understand the process or what the SAs actually are. I see it as a good opportunity for an educational moment.</p>
<p>I’m not hopeful that much is accomplished but I realize that a few may judge ROTC or the SAs by how I react.</p>
<p>The most disturbing experience I had recently was a USNA alum BGO whom I ran into at my child’s sporting event (not USNA69) who just trashed NROTC and USMA. That I truly don’t get. </p>
<p>The trailer for “American Carol” looks funny. Anyone seen it?</p>
