Financial obligations?

<p>Yeah, you're absolutely correct. And it most likely motivates them to study more since they can't really go out partying all the time.. because of the liberty, and financial limitations.</p>

<p>Kind of keeps the morale up as well, I would think. Hopefully there's less people trying to impress everyone and acting all stuck up because they are so well off.. I guess those would be the first to get a slap in the face by all the Gunnies and Chiefs, huh.</p>

<p>Not true and wishful thinking. There is plenty of things on a friday night that you can waste time on and not study. You get off the yard when you are allowed whether you have money to spend or not. Those who study Friday night do so because they want to not because they can't afford a pizza.</p>

<p>You still have a pretty clear idea of who gets money from home. Who has money to spend. You may not see it in clothing etc but it is there.</p>

<p>A most interesting insight and reality check, CurrentMid.</p>

<p>A good point of view. And it does make sense, definitely a reality check. I guess you can't really say what you're gonna do until you get there.</p>

<p>Do a YouTube search for USNA and look at all the videos. There is definitely time for "not studying"!</p>
