West Pointers. That sort of stands to reason. West Point puts out a good product.

Old War Story Warning: I lost out an XO job I had my eye on to a female West Point grad. I thought I had a lock on it. Then she transferred to our unit about two months before it opened up (she probably came because of the impending opening). Not only was she a West Point grad, but she had been in Air Defense Artillery and had numerous medals and commendations for commanding a battery of Patriot missiles in Saudi during Desert Shield/Storm (they had nailed several SCUD's). To put it simply, her resume kicked the crap out of mine. And it turned out she was a dam fine officer and person. We became good friends.
