Isn’t it interesting that schools have to lower their standards because these great athletes don’t have time to study and play sports, yet the service academies manage to graduate articulate, smart athletes who not only studied and trained but fit Div. 1 athletics into their college schedules?

Not to mention that when they graduate they become responsible for operating millions of dollars worth of equipment!

I could have hardly believed seeing Navy do this well against a top 25 football factory to years ago when we were 1-11 my plebe year. Thanks PJ and KH.

Thank you for your service! As the plane captains always told me, “It takes a college education to break it and a high school education to fix it.” :-)
