Or they feel like after being treated like shit for 13 weeks, that they deserve a little bit of respect... You can take it from both angles..Who are these people? Are they stashes just sitting around?
As far as OCS, I don't know, most are wound pretty tight but still scared shitless from being abused children for the past 13 weeks to go full retard on someone. I'd say academy, or maybe a Citadel/Texas A&M grad.
I've met my fair share of OCS and ROTC ENS with chips on their shoulders as well... They come from all sources..Gotta concur with scoolbubba, most of the folks who I've run into with chips on their shoulders as Ensigns all came from a small school in Maryland. .
