At the age of 17, Grant entered the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, New York, after securing a nomination through his U.S. Congressman, Thomas L. Hamer, who erroneously nominated him as "Ulysses S. Grant of Ohio." Grant adopted the form of his new name with middle initial only. Because "U.S." also stands for "Uncle Sam," Grant's nickname became "Sam" among his army colleagues. He graduated from USMA in 1843, ranking 21st in a class of 39. At the academy, he established a reputation as a fearless and expert horseman. Although this made him seem a natural for cavalry, he was assigned to duty as a regimental quartermaster, managing supplies and equipment.

It was finals week at NYU and Lindsey Melki, 31, was racing from grueling exam to exam in courses like foundations of finance and corporate finance, grinding toward dual master’s degrees in business administration and public administration. But this was easy duty. Especially for a lady with a bachelor’s degree from West Point and more than seven years in the military behind her, including 500 combat hours in Black Hawk helicopters over Baghdad in the 4th Battalion of the 3rd Aviation Regiment of the U.S. Army.

There's a saying in softball that can be taken as an insult for most players, but not for Army's Amanda Nguyen. "She doesn't hit green a lot,'' said coach Michelle DePolo. That means Nguyen hardly hits the ball out of the infield, but that's not her softball mission. Nguyen is an expert bunter and slap hitter, amassing three-quarters of her hits by bunting and forcing the defense to make a play on Army's fastest runner. Nguyen leads the Patriot League, by far, with 83 base hits, and her .382 batting average ranks second. And once she gets on base, which she does 41 percent of the time, it usually counts as an extra-base hit, because her 40 stolen bases is nearly double that of her nearest competitor. "Amanda ignites us,'' DePolo said. "She is the definition of a table setter. The way she does is the way we go a lot.''
