Do you understand anybody else's point of view.
EH
Let me summarize EH....because the academies and the US military have decided that it is in the best interest of certain academy graduates with high level athletic skills AND the military in general due to positive PR and morale issues....it would be mutually beneficial to accomodate those special skill sets and allow those officers to either "defer" or receive an "alternate assignment" in order to fully explore their professional options. This is a positive and mutually beneficial arrangement that best utilizes the graduating cadet's presitigous academy education. Oh yes...all cadets will with honor and commitment serve at anytime and anywhere the US military deems appropriate, without question and with full commitment. That this is the policy of the US military and academies and it is an agreement entered into mutually. Also, to question such policy is akin to questioning the commitment and honor of said cadets personally.
Oh yes...that Bob Hope (R.I.P.) and the U.S.O. are a good thing.
Did I get it?
