There were a lot of guys going through OCS for Supply when I was a candidate (22 years ago, FWIW). A lot of them used to spout some gospel truth that the supply school in Athens plus a sea tour as a Navy Supply Officer was equivalent to getting an MBA. (In other words, a huge resume builder to later get a high paying career on the outside.) Of course, it was a laughable mess deck rumor, but a few guys really bought into it.
Looking back at the ones who really believed it, I wonder what the hell business school they had in mind... I missed out on a golden opportunity for a good counter-rumor about the JAG course in Newport being taught by an adjunct professor from the Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe School of Law. And the power school in Charleston featuring session lecturers Homer Simpson and Red Green.
Then again, in a few more years then one or two of is probably going to be a SES. I guess the joke is on me.
