Most of the people in my age bracket got totally disgusted with the military under Clinton and left back in the mid to late 90s, they have all gone on to very successful careers.
VMI instills a sense of honor and discipline that will serve someone throughout their entire life, I don’t think anyone will ever actually learn anything academically in college that is all that important later in life. Character is what people really need to succeed and VMI concentrates on that.
I have a friend who was in the navy,he worked as a property manager.
Sometimes he overslept (he lived onsite)he would go down sign in and then run back home to make his bed and i am talking about the quarter being able to bounce when he was finished with the bed.
I’d do the bed later i said a couple of times “no man i gotta do the bed now”
He had the cleanest most organised apt for a single guy.
Everthing was in it’s place and boy could he pull the chicks one look at his apt they are in love..
I asked him who taught you all this neatness he said i owe it all to the navy...
