Sounds like the two places were good to get rid of. I don’t have a problem with getting rid of a lot of government agencies, but I hate when DOD is clumped into the entire group. I guess the whole one spoiled apple ruins the bunch. So true. I just know that at the Naval Academy there are really good dedicated people. I am not even talking about myself because there are people that put me to shame. I have easily witnessed Faculty leaving at 10 at night probably to go home and work another few hours before school the next day. is that every Professor? Heck no but I would say there are better professors than not.
It was always fun to see the neophytes drive the YP boats on the Severn.
