West Point is not Boykin’s alma mater. Gen. Boykin was born in New Bern, North Carolina. He graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) with a bachelor’s degree in English in 1971. Boykin went to Armed Forces Staff College, Army War College, and Shippensburg University (where he received a Masters Degree).
Being the type of individual that "I" am, if the opportunity presented it's self to attend, and some turd organization protested, I would have gone just to piss them off. but that is just me.
