I'm sure I speak for most here, who're proud to be among you fine academy graduates. Thank you for your service to country.
I wonder, that since USMA, USNA, USAFA, and USMMA require some type of political recomendation for appointment (i.e., a given year's nominating slate for a congress(wo)man, senator, VP, President and perhaps one or two others), and the US Coast Guard Academy does NOT - as its admissions are strictly competitive - might there be, if 'twere, quite an embarassing gap in these statistics?
I don't know for sure. I'm just askin'.

Don't know about the rules for Coast Guard Academy. The other service institutions still require competive scores on college boards and strenous physical requirements. Just getting a nomination doesn't get you there. Many of the nominees fall by the wayside before entry. I do think the Clinton type morality has to rub off on the general population. This isn't good news.
