Yet, no one has heard about it before now, and no one knows anyone who was part of that group.

As I remember it, pretty much everyone loved and had nothing but respect for COL Burton. Still do. Seems that things kinda went downhill from Malon forward. Correct me if I'm wrong...but maybe the search for stars/flags ain't what we should be looking for in a Commandant. Just sayin'.


Col Burton and Col Haney let us run the Band, and Corps, as necessary with little adjustments as necessary.

Burton left in the spring of 86, and we were stuck with a non officer Malon Southerland as acting commandant,.

A bunch of people know exactly who was in that group. 3 highly regarded former cadets who are now very successful businessmen.

I think the more buzbee got involved with the corps the better.

Not true. Ramirez would straight up call the commandant.

Today I heard from a current RV that the commandant threatened to disband the RV's this year. He said he wanted to disband them and then when he brought them back in a few years, he would be involved in appointing them.

I give that a 0.00001% chance of being true, and I'm likely being generous in my assessment.

Maybe he threatened or not, but if you're saying he did, the question is WHY!?!

I have it on 3rd hand authority that the Commandant uses photos of Sully for TP!!!

This is true. He said he wanted to choose senior leadership and then threatened to suspend them for 2 years. At the moment, RV's are not permitted to PT. This confirmed by an active RV.

So an E-1 Frog who wasn't an RV wants to get rid of the fish year experience and RV's for a couple years...just in time for his daughter to apply.

Actually, I'm being told that this is correct, at least one of them does

This is real F'ed up if true. I can see having a final vote on incoming RV's so it doesn't go by the way of a frat rush but not disbanding to get your way.

Active RVs pick the new ones and your peers select senior leadership. The commandant should have nothing to do with it and taking away PT from juniors and seniors is DUMB

Only way this is remotely true is if something bad went down at Marti Gras (or punishment for something that went down at Marti Gras).

Still not buying what's being reported though.

I think your opinion is likely correct.

Though as a certified old fart, I've seen a lot of changes that I never thought I'd see, so I can believe most anything is on the table.

But I made sure that certain people in my class did not interview on the front end

So if he suspends the RV's, does that mean he suspends Silver Taps and Muster? How's he gonna explain that to the families?? What a moronic idea.

Yes, aligns with what I heard.

'the RVs are concentrated in too few outfits. Some outfits have 6, while others have none. They need to be spread around more evenly '

But this has nothing to do with EQUITY...

The Trigon can't explain to parents/recruits why these outfits can only have 15 fish, when they have
a 100+ person request list, and then when the kid gets stuck in a crappy outfit, no one is happy.

Knock the experience down where everyone is the same, problem solved!
