<p>Military academies truly stand apart from other colleges and universities. In addition to the grueling basic training, these institutions boast unique physical and educational requirements - and rich traditions and history.</p>

<p>Seniors at several military academies serve as examples of the high moral standards and honor each institution strives to instill in its students. Course work as well as extracurricular activities are often geared to enhancing these qualities.</p>

<p>It's too bad they never made any other episodes but these three. </p>

<p>I'm getting tired of watching them over and over again, every time they are on. ;)</p>

<p>But for anyone who hasn't seen them, it's definitely a worthwhile show.</p>

<p>Navy fans would love to see a National Geographic production featuring the United States Naval Academy, similar to 'Surviving West Point.' Additionally, we would like to see a decent dramatization about Annapolis--the last one was an embarassment. </p>

<p>On the other hand, since USNA is the 'hottest' service academy, maybe they don't want to overexpose the institution ;)</p>

<p>Until then, there's always 'JAG' on DVD, or 'The Bachelor.' I understand some of the mids watched that recently--Dr. Andy Baldwin...</p>

<p>Anyone know how to get the MIlitary Channel for just one day? I really want to see these, I never have before.</p>

6

<p>We had to upgrade our cable just to get the Military Channel. The channel is great, but has lots and lots of reruns. All in all we think it was worth it.</p>

7

<p>The boy is graduating tonight and is bummed he'll miss it. He's going to figure out how to tape it on the vcr/dvd thing.</p>

<p>Lola just upgraded our Cable Package so she could watch it tonight. Thanks for telling us about it Buckeyemom!</p>

<p>I ordered the next package size so that I could get this channel. Hahah I'm a dork but I've always wanted to see this and didn't really want to order it. I did get the science channel and discovery health AND the national geographic channel. pretty exciting stuff if you ask me.
not like i'm ever home to enjoy it. lol</p>

<p>And 2 years later on August 1, 2004, she (her name is Andrea Prasse) was sworn in with full military honors as a 2nd Lt in the United States Air Force.</p>

<p>Fine. Let the Air Force have her.</p>

<p>"Girl focused on in the USAFA part...booted 3 weeks before graduation for honor violation."</p>

<p>I would take a moment and read the link to the story before commenting on this woman, from what I just read the quote that was posted above would be a bit like posting "O.J. was found innocent of all charges" ....sound bites may make for interesting copy but they rarely do the subject or the person justice</p>

<p>You're absolutely right. I stand corrected. </p>

<p>Thanks. :o</p>

<p>I wonder if anything will happen to LT Rabe, now?</p>
