Actually I paid for most of my school by working, the rest was paid for by scholarships that I earned. In addition to going to school full time, I was also a Cadet, a full time job in itself. If you want to find facts about how badass the Corps of Cadets at A&M is they won't be hard to find. As for my dad he is 56 years old and getting deployed to Iraq in December. All that giving up rights stuff is BS, about the only thing different in anyone's life now is that is more of a pain in the ass to fly anywhere, which, guess what it should have been anyway. Like sarge said, the only rights they're taking away are those of criminals, who should have none anyway. Let me know when your phone gets tapped. And guess what the reason this place is so badass and you will talk shit about it but not move anywhere else is because we elect our leaders and they can only stay there for 8 years max.
