I know, I really need to go eat...
But check out this blog post at WaPo about West Point allowing its football players to immediately pursue an NFL career, rather than doing the regular do for a newly commissioned 2LT in the Army. I'm sure this is a story most of you have heard mention of, and it's one that has particular interest to me as an IRR guy, plucked from regular life (albeit to a great, important job) after serving 4 years on active duty.
I'll refrain from sharing my opinion on the West Point matter, but as with the last WaPo blog I linked to, make sure to read through the comments...among the various posters I think most sides of the argument are pretty well represented.
Fascinating stuff. Any of the West Point readership have something to chime in on this one? Sultan, you out there??

I can certainly see the Army's point about using the soon-to-be Mr. Campbell (no relation) as a PR tool. I can also see the frustrations of letting an officer go when there are, well, issues, getting and keeping them.
I think the only way to judge the situation would be to see how it works out. Does he never start and bust out after two years? Do they make fun of him for his poor play or long history of injuries or something else? Does he fall to booze and drugs? Or does he go gangbusters and make a name for himself? Does he become a leader on and off the field?
If this guy makes the starting line up and does the TV intro, especially on SNF, he'll give USMA some great PR. "Caleb Campbell, West Point (or Army)." I think that would help.
I'd be curious to hear what impact David "The Admiral" Robinson had on USNA, but he certainly got USNA a lot of press. (I'm also thinking there were probably a few angry folks, especially when he was given his nickname.)
If only they had professional pistol shooting teams in the states, maybe the Coast Guard would have let me go. There, on Monday Night Pistol League, they'd announce me as Team Captain, where upon I'd say: "Colin Campbell, Coast Guard." Rockin' dude.
Colin, there is a World Poker Tour. I'm sure your strategy of never folding a hand will do wonders for the brand that is the US Coast Guard.
