Also...always been fascinated by submarine life. That has to be the weirdest experience. Wonder if Soldier has any info on submarine fun facts.
I couldnt do it, too claustrophobic.

Academy students are cadets. I don't think they are actual members of the united states armed forces but they certainly would not have liberty to boo the president. But in this case they should anyway..reinell30 said:BadlandsGrizFan said:Wonder if Trump will show his face to get booooooood again.

America's Armed Forces personnel are professionals and we/they do not Boo our Commander in Chief!

Those at the Academy are on active duty. Fact.

They can. They are then discharged from Active Duty usually with general under honorable conditions, which is considered good service.
This is different from ROTC where cadets are not on active duty.

Spent two years as an S-1. It was amazing how many PFCs we processed who were at one time scholarship cadets who erroneously thought they could simply walk away from their commitment.

Longevity, traditions of excellence, and timing are principal reasons. It will be the biggest game played next weekend. It stands alone for the Nation. Games against AF are full of cache by the academies...but not the general public.
Also, remember that the Air Farce was spun out of the Army Air Corp...point of order, by the way: the U.S. Army is also the world's largest Air Force AND Navy. You're welcome for that useless bit of trivia...

All can youtube Trump at Army Navy game. I didn't hear any boos during the 2 videos I watched. Perhaps there are others. Not the place for boos IMO.
I don't know much about subs, but wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of their missile payload, that's for sure. Much respect to those who perform these duties for our Nation.

I had the honor and great opportunity to spend 3 days/nights on the USS Boise LA-Class fast attack submarine as a VIP a few years back. One of the most memorable events of my life. And I'll say this: 3 days were doable, but as someone else who is a little claustrophobic, I was ready to get the hell off by the time we docked in Florida. I cannot imagine doing some of the lengthy deployments.
There are no days or nights on subs, obviously, so your internal clock gets a little screwy. And there's certainly no privacy. Not everyone is cut out for sub duty, that's for sure.
That said, though, I left that experience with the absolute utmost respect for the men who served on her. Truly America's finest, and I was honored to have spent the time with them.

Theyre fighting for the right to do so though if they wanted to.

Mmmm....Largest Navy? I don’t think so.
