Oh, the horror....the horror....of not knowing what real college is (as made even more clear by that myopic statement). To each their own, I guess.
But maybe the original poster is interested in an OUTSIDER view.
Hmmmm....
There are guys in my class and the class below me that are back from Iraq, a couple even have Purple Hearts... guy in my class got hit with a mortar. I don't know how they went from there to here... On the flipside, being cadre of those guys is hard too, I would imagine since here at USNA there is definitely a respect for the priors, let alone the people who've been in battle already.
Blasphemy! You've obviously already been brainwased and there is no hope of salvation for you.
Actually, if it's the same guy I'm thinking of, he made it through. One night he got sent up to the Rat Disciplinary Committee for a sweat party. They all crowded around him, berating him for his being a SEAL, taunting him. Until one RDC representative decided to ask, "If you're such a big bad SEAL, how long would it take you to kill every one in this room?" He stood up straight, twirled slowly around in place staring out at the RDC members standing around him, and then stared back at the guy who asked the question, and replied coldly, "You're all dead." He never got any shit after that.
Your funny story sounds ghey to everyone else...

Hey, somebody asked the question. I'll resume studying now, as if military school wasn't bad enough, I chose to major in Mechanical Engineering.
Another take on it is that I for one, as a commuter student, don't like college myself. I've grown up around the collage I'm attending since I was 4, so going here is sorta neat. And I'm well aware that it is an honor and privilege to attend so I'm grateful at least. But outside of that, the tunnel vision one gets when seeking commission made college just a barrier in my way to receiving a commission, nothing more. If there were no college requirements, I wouldn't go or I wouldn't perform as well as I do. Same goes for jogging too, another necessary discomfort. But neither really bother me because again, it is required for commission and I just see them as obstacles to a goal I'm enthused over, not what they truly are. So through that logic, college is worth doing and doing well to me, whether I like it or not.
