@James Franklin: he was in my battalion when I was at this school. He didn't really do anythgin despite contrary belief. His only job was micromanaging, barely. When he graduated he went into the real military, and now sees college antics he never did anything about at El Cid won't work in the Corps.

god thats like being in boot camp for four years...fuck that noise

It is a concept being considered.

This is a typical example of a : " Brown Noser " in fact if you look up the word in the Marine Corps Dictionary you will find his picture !

7:59/8:13 "By The Light of The Silvery MOON!": Is the Moon really made of GREEN CHEESE? Only when the Cadet MESS(Hall)-Zoic Era (Mesozoic Era) Citadel Cadets, teleported there via virtual reality FOUND OUT, as this collective Class Assignment when Martians put their Green Cheese sprinkles on the lunar landscape, still surviving here and there in greenish crystaline or volcanic rocks. Is the Moon made of Blue Cheese? Only supernaturally by playing or singing or even whistling the Song BLUE MOON! Is the Moon made of SWISS CHEESE? Only at ALBERT's Poem MOUNT HADLEY on the plains where's there are CRATERS (the Pot-Holes in the Cheese! But the Moon has a maximized PLETHORA of ROMANO CHEESE on the great APPENNINES: plenty of ROMANO CHEESE lavishly piled up in great curvy SNOW DRIFTS...But what about BRICK CHEESE? That depends on the Veracity of that supposed APOLLO 24 Expedition, done TOP SECRETwise with the SOVIETS on the backside of the Moon at Moon-Base LUNA....Leonardo's MONA LISA, or Her LUNAR Twin ordered the Astronauts and Cosmonauts to manufacture all those neo-tech BRICKS for Her: Bricks made of moon soil to build up Her PALACE there amidst the romantic ancient 'Brick" Ruins.....! So by the Light of the Silvery MOON, SELENA or CHANDRA: that Earth Satellite- is definitely made of CHEESE. Now, as for other CHEESES by the Japanese, the Chineese, etc. much yet remains to EXPLORE further... P.S. However there is One Cheese NOT on the moon! And that's "PROVOLONE!" Why Not? Nobody can actually "PROVE-ALONE!" that He, She, or It can DO ITALL ALONE, without any co-operation or aid of OTHERS! But that Denies TEAM-WORK, which is not to PROVE ALONE, but Altogether

have had the sincere DIS-PLEASURE of working with some of these "graduates" from the citadel or the carolina military instutude and was genuinely UN-IMPRESSED. specifically evaluated two of these "officers" serving in The United States Army and BOTH were COMPLETELY ATE UP physically, mentally and spiritually while doing my best to mentor, guide, train, and lead these two younger soldiers and each were not fit to lead while assigned to my Artillery Battery. specifically requested and eventually FIRED one second lieutenant because he was UN-FIT to serve as a fire direction officer which is one of the key positions within an Artillery Battery responsible for directing the indirect fires in support of an infantry and/or armor unit. the other was a first lieutenant assigned as an assistant training officer who was COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT. the third officer graduate from the citadel was a Lieutenant Colonel when I was a Lieutenant and was a Genuine Leader, Mentor, Follower and Commanding Officer who had an in-effable quality to Lead Soldiers whether in training or in garrison and in combat and was a vietnam veteran with the 173rd Airborne Brigade with several awards for valor and heroism but was exceptionally humble and a good PROFESSIONAL ARMY OFFICER. unfortunately he was NOT selected for promotion to Full Colonel and his last assignment was as a Division Level Staff Officer and was forced to retire afterwards due to time in service. Lastly, about 5 years after he had retired he passed away from cancer. Rest In Peace LTC Robert McFerrin.

DEW-SH

Who is this "knucklehead"? His comments are so alarming. Getting up is tough? Attack the next day? Conversation depends on The cadet wether I know them or not? He is living a Citadel fantasy life. This future 2nd Lt. Marine is in line for a wake up call. Bless the future Marine souls he will command. They are deffinetly in peril.

VMI is better

If it isn't West Point or Annapolis, it's not to be taken seriously. Most of these jokers only march on the parade field but never serve in the real military. I have met some of them and they act like they're soldiers. What a joke. Go to normal college or a real military academy if you can be accepted. Go Army.
