Benjamin Klay's essay

[Armorer]

Does anyone have a pdf copy of Benjamin Klay's essay The Spirit of Grand Strategy? He's a Yale Graduate who went through OCS and wrote a very good esssay about his experience. There is a link on Yale website but it's not working anymore.

about me: recently discharged from USMCR. MOS2111(armorer). I attempted OCS back in 1998 (I was in same company as Nathaniel Fick) but got sent home after week 5. Following year, I enlisted, went to bootcamp and loved the experience. Didn't think I was going to a war but then 9/11 happened and I got sent to Kuwait in March of 2003. I'm currently working in a comfy civilian job and grateful for the Corps for what it's taught me.

I put my Google Jedi powers to work a few days ago and found many references to the article....but no article was to be found.

My dad printed it out for me before I left for OCS 18 months ago. Let me check and see if he has it.

I also gave it a shot a few days ago and like Steve, only found a few people referencing the essay. I hope someone saved a copy.

I hosted the pdf on one of my websites, so PLEASE don't go reposting this link. If you do, I'm going to be forced to pull it off. Thanks!
