as long as ALL OF THEM have to meet the same stringent criteria for entrance.

How oh how is bringing more “minority” students into the Coast Guard Academy bringing in more culture. I thought the academys were the American Culture.

So...when will the CG start lowering standards?

My grand daughter reports to boot camp next month. Her recruiter said with an 87% retention rate it is hard to get accepted and only women and minorities are even considered. I once applied for Coast Guard OCS and somehow after the interview process my application got lost. I happened to be in the Yorktown area that year, 1979 I think it was, so I dropped by the OCS school and watched them form up. Not a white male in the ranks. I made chief the next year and didn't reapply, probably a good thing as would have been passed over around the Lt to Lt Cmdr level probably (freeper attitude even then) and not made 24 years.

Swabs from racial and ethnic minority groups make up 24 percent of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy's Class of 2014 -- the second highest percentage in the school's history, surpassed only by one class that was a percentage point higher.

But who's profiling counting?

Why are we allowing this?

Well we’ve dumbed down the rest of the nation in order to accommodate our black brothers, so why not the Coast Guard. After all, PC before ability MUST be the watchword, right!
