Was This Really Sent?

<p>To those of you “on the Hill”. I usually don’t post in the middle of the day (something to do with working at work), but it is lunch hour. I was forwarded the following E-Mail text. Supposedly from a C4C. Was this actually sent out? I have removed the signature, but it was signed. If it was actually sent - refer the sender to the “Alaskan Assassin” letter from a few years back. Also, if true the sender might have guts, but not much in the way of discretion (or judgement).</p>

<p>Dearest Class of 2012,</p>

<p>As you may know, it has been a tradition of the ages to sift through the immense quantities of companions here at the academy, to find just one. I am searching for someone to not only spend my lunch with, but to hopefully develop a deep connection with. I think about ‘us’ daily, and what ‘we’ could be. I am forever longing for late late night discussions, regarding such matters of the utmost randomness and nonsense. Furthermore, I miss the movie marathons we’ve never had and I embrace our moments which will be forever etched in my mind. Sitting so close to you that you cause weakness in my entire body and my heart accelerated to a rate where only you could catch it. You could harness its raw desire with your soft touch, it will leave me speechless, and even breathless. Today, in my ma turity, I am not afraid to admit that I may fall in love with you. With some work, and some house cleaning, I believe we could make our smoldering passion a wild fire of love. Life is an adventure and I vote we throw away our doubts and live for the moment. The moment we’ve wanted, want, and need. To connect with another person on the level I’m describing is incomprehensible. I’m not afraid to say the word love. The underlying message of this notification, besides me sharing my desires for love with my comrades, I am searching for a special someone to enjoy a nice noon-meal with at the CS-19, A-1 Element dining table. If you would like to make my dream a reality, please respond promptly due to the immediateness of the occasion. Tomorrow I would like to form a bond, please assist me in my quest. </p>

<p>Send Name, Rank, Service Number and Date of Birth, accompanying a photo and brief biography to this email.</p>

<p>Very Respectfully,</p>

<p>P.S. If it is not true, them somebody did a good job of pulling my leg! :) Have a good one!</p>

<p>I can confirm that yes it really was sent to the entire 2012 class. Pretty hilarious if you ask me.</p>

<p>yep got that last night. There's been outrageous misuse of the email system to send things to our whole class.. ie: "does anyone have a calculus book who's in the library right now?" and countless others.. some of it's been unbelievable.. crazy</p>

<p>some of the responses were funnier than the actual letter. :) unfortunately, i deleted them. they were all from males.</p>

<p>That letter has even circulated the upper class e-mails. Most everyone has seen it. :)</p>

<p>wow. just....wow.</p>

<p>haha</p>

<p>Yeah, the email has been flagrantly abused. We had someone point this out earlier this week and it had about 10 "all call" replies that night, none of them really useful. Personally, I created a folder called Mass Emails and have anything sent to 2012 put in there.</p>

<p>Haha, yes it was sent, and yes I forwarded it to some upperclassmen... Only a matter of time before it exits the realm of the Academy... ;)</p>

<p>We were told today that "cadating" is punishable by a 30/30/y for the 4 deg. and a 60/60/y for the upperclassman at the table...</p>

<p>Dang...
I had heard the PTB didn't like it, but a 60/60/y seems a bit much. That's more than most people would get for going OTF.</p>

<p>af16, was that our lovely DO talking?</p>

<p>This guy lives down the hall from me. We all loved it. No one that I know of is mad. In fact I heard our AOC gave him props for this. And about 10 other officers said that this was one of the most hillarious things that they ever read. What makes it even funnier was that the date that this cadet actually brought to lunch was the younger sister of one of the upperclassmen at the table.</p>

<p>I am not up on your acronyms. What does 30/30/y mean? I take it that OTF means "over the fence."</p>

<p>BTW, if it was a joke, you still should read up on the "Alaskan Assassin" to see what can happen when an E-Mail from USAFA gets out of hand. A good link for this is: <a href="http://www.dccycles.com/arch/1999/10/oct00898%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.dccycles.com/arch/1999/10/oct00898&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Happened before the current cadets were at USAFA.</p>

<p>30/30/Y is a Form 1 that gives a cadet 30 demerits, 30 confinements (30 two hours sessions sitting in service dress at your desk only allowed to do homework), and Y means they are restricted until it is complete.</p>

<p>Thanks, Hornet. How many demerits before dismissal or drastic action?</p>

<p>Muff! Are you sure you weren't tempted by the offer? :) Just kidding!</p>

<p>I enjoyed the e-mail.</p>

<p>And the female about the calc book is in my squad haha.</p>

<p>Good stuff yet kind of annoying at times.</p>

<p>Oh well, back to homework!</p>

<p>lol soaring dad, indeed I was! :D</p>

<p>oh my gosh, i love it here!!!!</p>

<p>missmuff please report to the Cadet Clinic to have your sense of humor and joy removed :)</p>

<p>oh my goodness...my element leader and his roommate and I (and by default, my poor roommates) are involved in a very heavy dorm war right now. it's awesome!!!!!! all my wildest dreams come true :D</p>

<p>seriously, it's hard to convey to people at home, but every single day here (as a 4 deg at least) could make a comedy.</p>

<p>ds, did potter show you her video of us during basic? priceless.</p>

<p>missmuff, I expect you to yell a hi at me if you see me in fairchild! I can't see so well and all you look alike now. ;)</p>
