Ehhhh.... That's a bit of a stretch. Hammond is more or less a bedroom community itself.

With his connections, the nomination wasn't going to be the problem.


As I said before, it wouldn't shock me. I'm not saying it's a terrible thing but nothing to get upset about. Besides, West Point isn't a walk in the park and he did go to jump school and Ranger school afterwards.

Hammond has 20K + people, Tang. has about an 1/8 of a million - because it is in that middle area between BR and the Greater NO area, I get what you're saying, but it is probably a hybrid at this point.

Let's just say it is built up rural, rather than urban. I think that's fair.
