The main reasons for the triple-stats is because of the current dorm renovations (which address his complaint of "unsatisfactory" living conditions). Other reasons include the large incoming freshman class, which is one of the biggest classes in years.

This has all happened before and it will happen again. The dorms on the quad were renovated in 1988-1990 to cover the exposed steam pipes and put partitions between the crappers (that's right ladies, in the Old Corps you had to take a dump with line of sight to four other crappers). Upper classmen were tripled up at that time as well.

Highway 6 runs both ways.

My two immediate thoughts (from a D&C cadet):

1. Real men don't write anonymous letters. They sign their names so big and with such pride that their opinion cannot be attributed to another person (John Hancock, William B. Travis, etc)

2. Being in the Corps, to me, was about being part of something greater than yourself. Selfless service, if you will. If you don't like serving, their are lots of other organizations you can join and be a non-active member.

HO-LY CRAP. Pack this giner up ASAP.

We clearly have a cancerous tumor growing in our beloved Corps. Move to Walton, puss. You'll fit in there.

As a current cadet, this really ticks me off. I knew all of these things going in, and chose to join anyways. Most of the people I've talked to think this is a joke, so know that "A. Cadet" doesn't represent the majority of current cadets

Also, looks like I've got a bunch of buddies on this thread

I also have one request, make this letter public, for all to see

yet the author of the letter hides his name.


what a whiney little thing.

The cadets and former cadets in my office are just dumbfounded by this. Consensus seems to be that this kid needs to sack up.

A. Cadet right after he sent the email

This kid's buddies are going to make the Corps so miserable for him that he'll really want to quit.

Class of '84 Corps Turd here. If this little momma's boy thinks it's bad now, he wouldn't have made it through FOW week back in the 70's and 80's.

You can have my guns or you can have your freedom; You can't have both.

That letter is so aggravating I almost didn't notice that he's not smart enough to proof read a letter sent to a GENERAL. AND ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA. I don't see how the MLSC and SOMS really load his schedule considering he clearly hasn't taken any of his English classes. That being said, life's hard, kid. Wear a helmet.

This kid doesn't know what discomfort is. I took on a job as a student, I was tripled up, and I was on FDT. There was a lot that I had to pay for... but I sucked it up and found a way to make it work. He needs a reality check. The Corps isn't that bad, it is what you make of it. Oh and did I mention the 15 guys who were my buddies and became my brothers, talk about friends for life. And in some majors, the extra SOMS and MilSci classes do count for history and pols

This kid will be living with his parents when he's 30.

27 pushups WTF?!?!?!

damn i wish i had my neo account

Candidate for 35 buckets , hot and cold, 4th stoop. fish Jones make it happen 1600 hrs.

There are many things in the modern day corps that could be addressed, however, none of these points are them. In fact these complaints are exactly opposite of issues that truly need to be addressed.

So basically, here is Ben's point of view. Let's see how much of it is time-tested fact, rather than individual opinion.

The Corps is bad because...

1 - I failed out of engineering because I couldn't learn how to study

2 - I couldn't a contract with Air Force or Navy, so they're a waste of time

3 - I don't like the food

4 - I'm a little New Army *****

5 - I'm a little baby back *****.


Here is my response to him

1 - The Corps didn't fail you out of engineering, you managed that all by yourself. I have plenty of friends making 3.5+ in each type of Engineering.
2 - If they were such a waste of time, then why did you swap from one to the other? No one will contract you with 20 pushups.
3 - Be glad that you even have food. Growing up, dinner consisted of a hot dog, and boxed mashed potatoes. You don't even realize the privilege that you have, being able to have food in your mouth, a roof over your head, clothes to wear, and maybe a diploma in your hand.
4 - If you have problems with being used to bring kids into this university, then quit. I take pride in being able to take kids who would have enlisted, and getting them an education. I have already recruited so many people for the Corps, that it literally pisses me off when kids like you have the tenacity to talk **** about such a great organization.

I know he's reading this thread, as he seeks public approval for all of his actions. In case you didn't understand the application of the quote above, change the word Country to Corps.

You forgot to address "5".
