Well I have to poke fun here. Being in the Air Force and deployed to a location with plenty of Army guys running around, I can confirm that, yes, the Army is less disciplined.
Even better, my Step brother is a fast burner in the Army and played as a DB at West Point so I wish I could be there during the holidays to talk trash during the game when we win!

Thank you for your service and God Bless. No matter what you hear, there are a lot more of us who support you and the military than those who do not.
I assume you are a pilot, if so what type of plane do you fly?

Fun idea, but the Naval Academy is where the Marine Corp future officers go to school, so the NCAA and BCS are safe.

Sorry Arkpony, but like it or not, the Marines are a branch of the Navy and their officers come out of the Naval Academy.
"The Naval Academy was founded in 1845 by the Secretary of the Navy, George Bancroft, in what is now historic Annapolis, MD. The history of the Academy has often reflected the history of the United States itself. As the U.S. Navy has moved from a fleet of sail and steam-powered ships to a high tech fleet of nuclear-powered submarines and surface ships as well as supersonic aircraft, the Academy has changed also.
The Naval Academy gives young men and women the up-to-date academic and professional training needed to be effective naval and marine officers in their assignments after graduation."
"Every midshipman's academic program begins with a core curriculum that includes courses in engineering, science, mathematics, humanities and social science. This is designed to provide a broad-based education
that will qualify the midshipmen for practically any career field in the Navy or Marine Corps."
Geesh!!!!!
