To be fair, not everybody wants to make a career of it. Some just want to pay off their free Ivy-equivalent education and move on.

Spencer Rapone. He's the jackass that had the "Communism Will Win" crap during graduation.

Are you saying he was a shitbird? I knew an officer in the Marines who was still a Cpt after almost a decade. He's a LtCol now and a commander at the regimental level.

Cousin was a West Point grad. Got out after 20 as an LTC as he didn't like the direction the Army was going with the sjw bullshite.

Washed his hand after shaking Clinton's at graduation.

That’s about the time you’ve topped out at your pyramid level and get passed over and nudged out with a pension. Cousin is giving you the sugar coated version.

I wonder what the media would do if a soldier went psycho and started shooting people.

Ain’t no set time. Between wwI and II you had 20 year lieutenants. Start up wwII you have privates frocked to Lts. If there’s not a lot going on, war wise, you fall victim to the pyramid system.

Does it really matter? They weren't exactly turning out experts.

Looking at one of those wooden yachts. Start out as a weekender to see what maintenance is like, then planning an island hop to Alaska and back next summer

I’m being serious about this. Those old things are priced pretty reasonably. I just need to figure out how much to factor in for maintenance. I’ve had a few boats and am pretty handy. We’re not going on that trip immediately and won’t do it nonstop. We’ll need fellow Tigers just to cruise locally. We went out on the lake right by the sailgate for UCLA a few weeks ago. That’s probably a typical day cruise.
