    Probably not too many of us on here, but post up if you graduated from one of the five U.S. Military Service Academies, when you graduated, and any funny experiences/fond memories as a cadet or midshipman...



    Me: USCGA, Class of 2009

    I hated squaring my meals for the first year. I still remember how the cow is. :rolleyes:
