re: Randolph Duke taking it to the next level.

I mean, there's your garden variety message board hatred, then there's doing cursory research to buttress a fleeting argument..........

.....and THEN there's complete overarching psychotic obsession.












































AND THEN there's whatever you call Randolph Duke's behavior

Charles deleted his facebook account.

This Wikipedia and WSJ stuff is really bizarre since I've also seen him on the comment threads of both pertinent SBNation blogs and every large sports site you'd care to name when there's an A&M story, all making the same tired aggy jokes. It's like he spends his entire life refreshing the whole goddamn Internet for Aggie references to shite on. I doubt more than 25% of his posts on Shag are actually about the Longhorns. Dude has CFB Asperger's Syndrome.

If I get time I am am gonna do the same with links to a bunch of his anti Aggie posturing on various message boards to show that he is just an obsessed idiot.

I linked a few places for UW Dawgs to see how Duke goes all over the internet to bash A&M. Hopefully it will at least stop him from being able to edit A&M related articles though I assume he will just create a new name.

While its Corps of Cadets numbers some 1850 (give or take) approximately only 42% of those “cadets” are active in ROTC training.

On many sites, I've debunked this flawed analysis, but just so everyone else understands and is well-armed:

1. There are just over 2,200 cadets now.

2. The majority of the cadets are black belts. Cannot assume a uniform class size due to attrition. So, it's about 30% fish, 25% pissheads, 23% butts, and 22% zips.

3. Using items 1 and 2, you get the following:

fish = 660 (660/660 ROTC)
pissheads = 550 (550/550 ROTC)
butts = 506 (218/506 ROTC)
zips = 484 (204/484 ROTC)

That means at any one time, between 74%-75% of the Corps participates in ROTC.

4. These numbers do not count SMP (reservists who are also cadets), OCS, or PLC numbers, nor do they include the numbers of those who either don't start ROTC until their zip year, don't graduate in 4, or enlist for any reason after final review. That would bump the total number for any one class to about 52-55% service.

5. NOW we get into the part about how A&M cannot, by law commission every cadet:

The way the accession process works is that, out of any one year group, about 1/3 have to be academy graduates, 5/8 have to be ROTC, and the remainder are OCS/DC/other source. All service academy commissions are active duty

Of that 5/8, those slots are distributed over every university with an ROTC program...with 20+% reserved for the Senior Military Colleges. That means, between A&M, Citadel, VMI, VPI, North Georgia, and Norwich, they aren't allowed to commission more than 1/8 (12.5%) of THE ENTIRE ALLOCATION OF ACCESSIONS for any one year group.

Translated into simple math: If there are 3,000 Army Lieutenants in YG2014 (which December 2013 is included in), all six senior military colleges combined are limited, by law to 375 Army 2LTs between December 2013 and August 2014.

Thanks for the research, sir

At any rate

You have been on the job longer than I, of course

Where?
