Tend to agree that nobody gives a shit where you went to school. I went to a relatively "elite" Grad School toward the end of my Navy career, and nobody has ever even mentioned it in a job interview. All they cared about was that I had been to Grad School. Could have been Western Buttfuck U - no difference.death2ducks said:
I enlisted out of HS in '69, received a battlefield commission in '70, got out in '76 as a Captain, then went to college and law school. I was in TBS at Quantico just ahead of Mattis, didn't know him. I know several people who know him and speak very highly of him.Swaye said:D2D, what years were you in the Corps?
I got to meet and eat lunch with General Mattis. Seemed like a hell of a guy, in my limited contact with him. I'd vote for him...he might be the only politician who would always tell the truth, which is why he is unelectable in modern America...he won't promise the moon and blow sunshine up everyone's ass.
Marine Officers do not lie, and do not tolerate those who do. His quote is no big deal. You are taught to visualize having to kill everyone you come into contact with. If you don't have a plan, you die. In the civilian world, it's very hard to be intimidated by somebody you just visualized killing, (not that you actually ever would).
It's very interesting that he went to Central. Unlike the other branches, the Marine Corps doesn't care if you went to Annapolis; they care about who performs. When Dip Shit name dropped that he went to an over-priced libtard arts college, like we're all supposed to be impressed, I couldn't help myself. I only applied to Harvard because my wife wanted to see if I could get in. When she found out what it cost compared to UW, she almost passed out. I found out later that they really wanted me because I was a Viet Nam vet, and it helped their diversity bullshit. Like I said, I didn't give a fuck about Harvard. I had already turned down Annapolis when I got commissioned. Who cares? I guess if it's the only thing on your resume, you think its a big fucking deal. I worked on Wall Street for 20 years and I know lots if idiots that went to Ivy League schools. They all network with each other and jerk each other off, while I was out closing deals. Salomon Brothers didn't care where you went to school either. My boss, was Vice Chairman and started in the mail room. He went to college at night. Nobody gives a shit where you went to college.
Funny what you mention about Annapolis. I tried to get in out of HS, and was rejected. Ended up joining the Navy enlisted, getting an Officer program a few years later, and did NROTC at UW. Late in my career (couple years ago), I ended up closing out my career by teaching at the Naval Academy. Always funny to me that they turned me down over 25 years ago, and then I end up teaching there before I retired. As an aside, after teaching there, it totally shattered my faith in the Service Academies. They used to be elite, but now they are just breeding grounds for social experiments.
I recall the CNO (ADM Roughhead - what a fucking unfortunate name) coming out a few years ago and saying that the number one mission of the US Navy was diversity. Funny, I had been laboring under the impression, for 20 years, that the number one mission of the Navy was establishing maritime supremecy, keeping sea lanes open, and fighting and winning America's wars. I know I heard that somewhere...oh yeah, boot camp, ROTC, and from every CO I ever had. I knew I was done with the Navy at that point.
One last thing, my Dad is a former Marine: 1961-1967. Vietnam. Aircraft electrician. A-4s.
Thanks for your service. -
You mean this general still actually has his position and presumably has had political discourse that doesn't align with Obama and is still in his position?
He's already removed around 150 high ranking military officers for a litany of bullshit reasons. How has this Gen Mattis survived? -
He just retired. We were surprised at the Academy when he got tapped to lead Central Command. He is a old school "kill, kill, blood makes the grass grow kind of guy." Not your typical Obama guy, but even liberals realize that sometimes you have to hire a guy who knows how to fuck people up to actually win wars.loadsock said:You mean this general still actually has his position and presumably has had political discourse that doesn't align with Obama and is still in his position?

You're right, you can't help yourself. The only reason I post it is to piss you off. Genius hasn't figured that our already.death2ducks said:

My first post ever mentioning I went to Middlebury read, "It doesn't really matter where you went to school. I go to a selective LA college in New England, but probably have worse job prospects than a Whitman grad in Seattle. What matters is people skills, connections, and work ethic."
Nowhere did I insinuate it's impressive other than to piss you off. If I thought the posters on Hardcore Husky would be impressed with me because of where I go to school I would be truly miserable and pathetic.
It's a shame the Viet Cong didn't do their job when they had the chance.

Swaye,
Sound's like I just missed your Dad. I was originally in an A-4 squadron but got transferred to a CH-53 squadron as a door gunner in Viet Nam. I was in 8-Inch my second tour, after I got permanently commissioned.
I'm very happy I didn't go to boat school. After I turned it down, I was at TBS at Quantico and was officer of the day when I had to write up one of the boat school boys going through Marine orientation. The punk was urinating into a bush during evening colors. He was thrown out of the Academy after an Article 32 three days later. Needless to say, I wasn't too impressed with the boat school boys after that. The only boat school boy that I respected was my platoon commander at Quantico, Captain Oliver North. We're still friends.
Thank you for your service.
Very successful thread. This has really flushed out exactly who is in here. The first thing you need to do is identify the enemy. -
Lol. The enemy. You're a nut.death2ducks said:Swaye,

To tell you the truth, considering my military record, going to Harvard after that, was no big fucking deal. But I can understand why it might be important to a chicken shit like you, who lives in envy of an Ivy League piece of paper.
The Four Star Marine General, below has a BA from Central Washington, and might be the next President. So why are you still living in mommy's basement?
Why, when you, post, do you, use, so many, mother, fucking commas? I don't think you were, assepted to Harvard. That's all. Prick. -
Harvard may be prestigious but it's not exactly a smart fiscal choice if there's no mommy and daddy or a trust fund to pay for it.
We have had presidents that went there and they're (like the one in the WH now) some of the most ignorant mother fuckers I've ever heard or listened to.

That has always been your problem. Any monkey can create a new handle. But you've always lacked the artful skill of becoming another. You are all you can be.

New handle? This is all I've ever had. Care to offer up a statement that has any truth? Care to say where my statement was incorrect other than arguing my opinion of the president?
Generally you're pretty spot on and make good points, but maybe the holiday has you not seeing too well with your head shoved up your ass.
