you might have a prior e somewhere in there

Lol Frr why they singing that Cadence if they aren’t even in the military

That stinks, but glad he was weeded out early. Generally I hear nothing but good things from people who have served with VMI grads.

@@purp yes. fortunately as a seasoned Captain at the time i had the misfortune of weeding this Lieutenant "X" out. I do not recall serving with any other vmi graduates but I may have served with others. as I recall I did serve with at least 3 citadel graduates. one was a fellow Lieutenant who received a DUI on post, another was a fellow Captain and my partner as a Staff Officer at the Brigade Level and the third was a former Battalion Commander as a Lieutenant Colonel who was probably the most effective leader i had met in my entire career and he should have made it to Colonel and beyond but as I recall he was passed over for promotion to O-6 and he eventually retired after 26 years and went back to Georgia. overall a mixed bag with the private military colleges and their graduates.

A few months in now. How's it going for you? Stay strong for a couple more months.

Military service is not mandatory after VMI. There are many successful graduates in both the military and civilian worlds.

@@purp I'm surprised VMI lets you participate in ROTC after 2nd year if you you're not going in the military. I mean it's giving a spot to someone who could be a great officer to someone who just wants to play soldier for 2 years.

@@J.B24 That's an incredibly naive way of looking at it. VMI's mission is to create "citizen soldiers". Cadets who commission, and those who do not commission, both learn valuable leadership and personal skills that translate to the civilian and military environments.

@Rich 91 You shouldn't allow them if they don't agree to serve. That spot would be better used by someone who is there to be served not someone who just wants to play soldier for 2 more years.

@@J.B24 I really don't follow your logic. VMI's ROTC program is restricted to VMI. A cadet who takes part of ROTC is not taking 'a spot' away from anybody. Unless your point is that VMI should only accepted people who intend to serve. Because again, that logic is flawed and against VMI's mission.

Haha yes, agreed. The train would stall in this setup if I didn't run it so fast. I eventually discovered it was due to many reasons such as the track not being nailed down, the track not being cleaned, and needing another engine.

jealousy rears its ugly head once more.

The only thing ugly here is the behavior in this video. Anyone who has any respect for themselves wouldn’t allow themselves or others to be treated like this.

Overwatch your a moron

You have a fairly narrow minded view of what should qualify a cadre member.

First day of school for rats entering the Virignia Military Institute. This event precedes Hell Week.

VMI is division 1

purp Bullshit. The Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), formerly known as Division I-AA is VMI’s division. You play smaller schools like Elon. I’m talking about the former Division I-A. What kind of collegiate accreditation do VMI’s various programs have?

@@toreshammerecelt861 Division 1.
