are you going on every citadel video you can find and trying to trash the school.. like i said in "end of the 4th class system" video please come out to vegas and i will be happy to show you the product of a citadel education. We can have a debate, record it and post it on youtube.

For you to claim you have a 25 year military career and to bash one of the SMA's is beyond belief to me.

You may possibly be the most amusingly pathetic person that exists. I saw your other posts and it's pretty clear you quit the program. And I doubt you've served in the military because it's well known how West Pointers are as officers(at least most). I can't help but laugh at what you wrote. You put in so much effort to tarnish the school, but only come off as immature and angry. But regardless I am sure you have an extensive 20(or25)year military career to be proud of.

@kmeno1993 true thats very true.. i wanted to go when i saw it was free but thers a whole lot of stuff you have to get in

[kmeno1993]

The Citadel was the South's Military school where as West Point was the North's. Also, you have to pay to go to the Citadel..West Point is FREE and MUCH MUCH harder to get in to than the Citadel.

OMG! Whoever said Westpointers didn't complain about the uniforms, you are CRAZY! My husband is a graduate of West Point and he said they were HEAVY and ITCHY...

Echo '66. Always the flame. Go Dogs.

We at West Point didn't complain about the uniforms.

[coldcoffee89]

yes I know thats why they're grey I just ment the whole term LONG GREY LINE...

[DonMeaker]

Grey refers to the cheap undyed uniforms of the militia forces in war of 1812.

Norwich in Vermont, the Citadel in South Carolina, and Virginia Military Institute all have copied USMA in some aspects, and other places in other aspects. Why not?

Snyder, that's like complaining that the Air Force stole the Army's uniforms. West Point and Annapolis are the foundations of our Senior Military Colleges. Instead of complaining about it, you should be glad that the rest remember their heritage and the roles the service academies had in shaping military education in America.

Changing their uniforms would be disrespectful to their heritage and to USMA.

Virginia Tech (but not Corps) here.

ok, both institutions have their traditions and backgrounds, yes "long grey line" traditionally refers to West Point, and the uniforms... honestly who cares... I'm pretty sure that cadets at the citadel complain about how uncomfortable and restrictive to movement they are just as much as cadets here at west point... why are we arguing over itchy wool uniforms that have been around since before all of us and arent going to change any time soon for either school...
