One Sentence Advice

[Uncle Fester]

Oh, for fuck's sake, don't turn this into one of those retarded "OCS vs. Academy vs. ROTC etc" threads. All commissioning sources are equally capable of turning out idiot man-children, and do.

And I will call you Sir and have the utmost respect for you until the day you or I leave the Navy. Like I said, it's just a little overflow of pride. I know straight up I more than likely could not have hacked the academy. But I couldn't let the first comment just slide.

Threadjack done!
