[190]  Assembly Magazine - very informative

[191]  5 West Point ForumThere's a break in the numbering because the last two are of much lesser importance to me at this time. Especially since I consider the AOG to be appologists for past actions, and the WP forum asa means for recent, inexperienced and uninitiatedgraduates to justify their experiences (whichdiffer significantly from mine) without respecting the wisdom that us older grads can bring to an issue. There is, in my mind, a significant gap between pre-1980 graduates and those of us who came before.
