It's a great job, but I'm still thinking about whether I want to apply. Need to figure out whether the pros outweigh the cons or not. (My officemate, by the way, said that the only reason that he could think of not to apply would be that being that close to Sing-Sing might not be safe. Because prisoners are going to escape from Sing-Sing and travel 20 miles north to terrorize people at West Point?)
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Your officemate is a documented freak, but sometimes he's an amusing freak.

Yes.
I got a somewhat confusing email from Southern Polytechnic that I think might mean they want to interview me. (The email was clearly written by someone who does not speak very good English, and I couldn't really tell if it was saying that they wanted to interview me or if it was an email sent out to everyone who applied saying that they'd be deciding on interviews soon. But the part that I did understand said that there would be another email soon with more information, so I figure I'll wait for that one.)

OTOH, West Point would be far, far away from your officemate.

This officemate has gotten more toward amusing and less annoying lately. But that might just be in comparison with the new officemate, who is obnoxious.

For what it is worth:
Noam Chomsky works at MIT which gets a lot of military funding. He has spoken about the issue.
Some of the best work on why we should be spending less on our military comes out of military colleges. Not just eliminating "waste" but questioning whether we need so much military capability.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
whether we need so much military capability.
You never know when our military will have to fight every other country on the planet at once....

If we're going to have a military, then I'm in all favor of its officers knowing math.
