<p>I haven't seen a link to the Dant's 21 July letter. Sorry if this is redundant:</p>
<p>Yeah, the 'Dant is legit, no question about it. Calls upper class mids by first names, pretty relaxed, etc. He is a visionary and does not hesitate to open up and tell the mids about his goals which is awesome. No offense to Captain Klein, but we never knew the scoop. At least with Captain Klunder, there will be fewer suprises and hopefully a lot more learning experiences.</p>
<p>I had a very interesting conversation with two rising 3C's at Induction Day. They were standing just beside my family and in front of them was a Commissioned Commander, to their left was Admiral whose daughter is in the class of 2012, and on the other side of them was two or three other officers. All were in earshot, but I can not say for sure what they heard. I asked the two Mids what they thought about their new Commandant. They said he was "awesome", that they were really glad to get "rid" of the former Commandant that she "sucked". Now that is what they said, don't shoot the messenger. I could not believe they would be that candid in front of so many officers. So it appears that the change was a good one if these two Mids are any idea of what the whole Brigade thought.</p>
