[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand they seek well rounded young men and women who have character and a knack for leadership. But giving extra points to an applicant who can throw a basketball farther than another applicant? Is the basketball a stand in for a grenade? My point is that they need to come up with revisions to the application process reflecting what it means to be in the military in contemporary times.[/quote] the application process reflects the ability to get a congressman to nominate you more than anything else. You can be an eagle scout with a 5.0 GPA who wins robotics competitions at the international level, but if your congressman and senator don't like you, you're probably SOL unless you are in some way otherwise qualified (i.e. mom won a Medal of Honor or dad died in combat) [/quote]
