[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine the moral panic at Maret or Sidwell if a Marine recruiter showed up on campus.

Burning group chats![/quote]

My father went to Exeter and graduated from Harvard.  He retired as a Colonel and had another career with the DOD and later as a consultant. One of his other Harvard friends retired as a Colonel.  My brother served in the Air Force with a Harvard PhD.  He left as a Captain before age 30. 
You are really ignorant about the military, aren't you?  [/quote]

Adult Military kid here. The military is small enough I could call my Col father up and probably figure out who your father is. Also not my experience re Harvard--I spent a lot of time in Cambridge. It is not a rich recruiting ground even after NROTC was  invited back. [/quote]

Officers go to Harvard graduate programs every year.  Harvard also has ROTC. Granted, there are fewer applicants, but it’s there.

Officers in the past were typically from wealthier families because only wealthy people went to college. So it’s not unusual at all when you’re talking about older officers.  [/quote]
